Anyone seen this Spanish horror film?

What's it like?

I tried not to read too much about it, just enough for it to sound promising.

I bought the U.K. edition not realizing it had been released stateside, and then I read on imdb the U.K. cut was longer.

I've seen it, Richard. Despite some unwelcome CGI now and then, it's got some genuinely creepy moments and an unusual backstory behind the ghosts. As you'd expect, it's the subtle moments that spook you, like a child's voice on a tape that's playing backwards. The house in this looked a heck of a lot like the one in BLUE EYES OF THE BROKEN DOLL. Definitely worth watching.

Thanks for your input, Andrew.

Wish I had known there was a region 1 DVD before the PAL.
