Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at people who enjoy a knot in their stomach and horror fans. Leaves you with something to think about. A good follow-up to Huesera: The Bone Woman.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 21 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

After the sudden death of his wife, Tomás, a successful elderly writer who has been out of Spain during the last forty years, unexpectedly receives an old tarot card which seems to have for him a disturbing meaning, so he decides to return to the small village where he grew up.
