Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Is nice to watch a Colombian movie that is not about drug dealers, the paramilitary conflict or hit men. Even though the movie is not scary as many other i've watched it's really entertained and it keeps you wondering what's going on all the time.This movie also shows that there's no need to have a lot of character to make a great film.I haven't watched the Mexican version of this movie yet, but I heard that is not as good as the Colombian one. Can't wait to watch the Hollywood version, which by the way was announce a long time ago but we still don't have it.

This Colombian-made thriller may not win any prizes for originality, but what it does, it does well. Effectively blending elements lifted from Repulsion and countless J-horror films, Al Final del Espectro stars the marvelous Noelle Schonwald as Vega, a filmmaker trying to recover from the shock of seeing her boyfriend almost killed on the job. Her father sets her up in a dank apartment, where she installs several closed circuit cameras to bring order and safety to her world. Of course, the effect of the cameras is the exact opposite of what she intends, and strange and spooky events begin to unfold on the grainy VCR footage. Schonwald's performance reminded me of early Christina Ricci; physically, she looks like an adult version of little Kyra Schon, the terrifying child zombie from the original Night of the Living Dead. This is an extremely claustrophobic thriller that works magnificently until the third act revelations, which unfortunately leech much of the mystery and horror out of the film--a mistake not made by Polanski in Repulsion. Still and all, this is an above average chiller from a country not usually associated with the genre.

This horror movie is a sort of agoraphobic psychological thriller. The story is simple, but has an interesting "big" twist and some good elements. It is however not quite enough to have you riveted the whole way through, as even with its short running time, the movie is quite slow-paced and some story elements are less interesting although they are mostly necessary as one understands once the twist is revealed... On the other hand, it does allow for good acting by the two female leads, good camera-work and genuine scary moments.A neat, sly, little story that could have benefited from a little be more complexity, but that still works as a brainteaser and for the atmosphere and scare factor.

Very very good. It's cinematography will surely win the Colombian Film Award next year. The editing and the direction were superb, giving us very well-done tension moments. I liked the story in general and it looked to me extremely claustrophobic.Such a cool ending. Very scary.Noelle was very good here, and also the beautiful Julieth Restrepo, in her movie debut. Correct me if I'm wrong, but was Tulipán a lesbian? Cause there are facts that can prove it...Congratulations, cast and crew, I hope the American remake don't destroy this amazing amazing amazing Colombian movie. Keep working.
