In 1975 a man who quietly works for the military in Chile, finds his nights interupted when the house next door begins having unpleasant noises come from it.
The horrors of Chile's past come back to haunt the people of a quiet neighborhood. This tale of life under a military regime is not really a horror film but is more a political allegory. This is a film about the things that happened on the other side of the wall. Or not, a late in the game time jump kind of resets the board and alters what we thought we knew.
I'm not sure what I really think about this film. Honestly the film's insistance that it is about something kind of works against it. I kept waiting for a big twist or something truly horrible, but I don't think the uexpected horror is there. Yes the film is well made, but the thrills weren't there for me since the film seemed to want to say something important.
