Fantastic A beautifully shot movie, with so many layers to the ghost story. One of the new masters of horror and fantasy.

See it at your own risk Excellent movie, except the subtitles are so tiny & they speak very fast. Until they do dubbing it in English version, it is risky to see in a smart phone. That is just my opinion.

Superb One of many impecable films by guillermo del torro. Absolutely worth watching.

Picks up 15 minutes from where we left off, taking us back into the quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus has run rampant, turning the occupants into mindlessly violent, raging beasts. A heavily armed SWAT team and a mysterious government official are sent in to assess and attempt to neutralize the situation. What they find inside lies beyond the scope of medical science—a demonic nightmare of biblical proportions more terrifying than they could have possibly imagined. Above all it must be contained, before it escapes to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting world outside. © 2009 Castelao Productions, S.A. All Rights Reserved.
