Reviews from TMDB

From Álex de la Iglesia, the master of cinematic absurdity, comes a claustrophobic mystery set in a single location. Though the trademark humor takes a backseat compared to his other films, it's no matter—the story grips you with curiosity and doesn't let go until the final moment.
