Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

WisdomsHammer I was pleasantly surprised while watching this, finding it highly engaging. For a low budget movie, it is well-acted, well-scripted, and well shot! My only complaint is that, to me, it ran on a bit long towards the end. Pacing was good up to that point, but towards the end it felt redundant and labored. But that's a minor point on an overall fun film. Very glad to have found this gem!

Abyss47 Wow, this was one crazy and memorable film, to say the least, and that final shot was the icing on the cake.I've seen too many movies with great premises that wind up underutilizing them, but this one more than lived up to its own. Zelda Rubinstein creeps me out in every film I see her in, and this was no exception. Every time she appeared on screen, I wanted her to get right back off, a similar feeling I had while watching her in "Poltergeist". Except here, I got the sense that she was born to play that role. The movie just wouldn't have been the same without her....presence. In fact, she's the most memorable actor in it. The whole movie's a mind-bending experience though, and one that's best not to read about before watching. It's simply hard to look away. The piercing screams, the building suspense, the cool visual tricks, and the idea that every character in the film is in deep trouble all made me feel apart of the experience. I was completely sucked in. Hopefully other people who see it for the first time have the same sort of attachment to it. Things get chaotic fast early on, and it just continues to get more and more insane before reaching an ending I honestly didn't expect. This is the type of film that Scream 4 tried to be, but failed.R.I.P. Bigas Luna. In a way, the man was ahead of his time. Those who are fans of David Lynch and surreal films in general should definitely seek this out.

Claudio Carvalho I have just watched "Angustia" for the fourth or fifth time, now on DVD, and I do not get tired of this original, bizarre and surrealistic cult-movie, very underrated in IMDb. I am a fan of Bigas Lune, and in my opinion "Angustia" is his masterpiece. The story is simple, but tense, with a soundtrack that recalls Dario Argento's movies. Michael Lerner, in the role of the mad ophthalmologist; Talia Paul, in the role of a scared viewer that becomes impressed with the film she is watching on the screen; and Ángel Jovè, in the role of a lunatic killer, are perfect. Zelda Rubinstein, with her weird tune of voice, completes the lead cast of this gem with a great performance. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): "Os Olhos da Cidade São Meus" ("The Eyes of the City Are Mine")
