The Haunting (aka No-Do)
Spain
2009
Starring: Ana Torrent, Francisco Boira, and Hector Colome
No-Do is a horror movie from Spain. In its own rights it is unique. There are some heavily borrowed parts of this movie, but it did still contain some originality. I found the beginning a little hard to follow, yet towards the end it all fell into place.
This movie wasn't overly gory, but did of course contain some gore. It also had a number of spirit hauntings and one bad ass demon. The church is featured heavily throughout the movie and plays a multi-sided stereotypical role. Who else is going to try and expel your demons though?
All in all it wasn't a horrible movie, not terribly scary either. There were times when the level of fright portrayed by the actors wasn't quite in line with the story, but I think that's where many horror movies go wrong anyway. It did have that famous Spanish dark overtone that you'll find in movies like Pan's Labyrinth or The Orphanage.
