Terrified (3 Stars)

This is the 25th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

This is an Argentinian film, made in Spanish.

A man in a small town hears strange noises in his house. He finds his wife floating in the air and being thrown across the bathroom, her head being slammed against the wall until she's dead.

A haunting? A supernatural film? Maybe. A team of paranormal investigators say that the house is at a close point to another dimension, so the inhabitants of the other dimension can cross over. They're almost invisible. They can only be seen if you look at them from the right angle.

For the rest of the films unusual things happen. The next door neighbour sees things in his house. The son of a policeman who lives opposite returns from the dead.

The film's atmosphere is effective. It's terrifying throughout, which is what the title promises. If that's good enough for you, go and watch it. I expect more from a film. I expect a film to make sense. One or two loose ends are forgivable, but at the end of "Terrified" we still don't know why anything happened. The film doesn't make sense. It's as simple as that.
