Okay... I forgot I didn't write this already... I watched it a little over a week ago and honestly... it's alright.
So this is a horror/ thriller movie that is on Netflix. It is originally a spanish language film and I believe if you have English as your setting for American Netflix it will automatically play a dub... I would recommend changing it to the original Spanish language and just use english Subtitles. We didn't listen to that much of the dub... it's not reviewed very well and while the voice acting seemed like it was good... it was still kind of low and hard to understand and the subtitles didn't match... so using the subtitles was a little easier. I know a little spanish and if I was paying attention to what they were saying I could have understood it lol. I was mostly reading it.
So anyway the movie starts out really strong. Basically it follows 2 men in some sort of prison that they both actually volunteered for... so they were in their of their own free will... but they weren't really told what happens in this prison. So every day there is a huge feast that goes down to each floor of the prison on a platform. Those who are at the very top levels (starting from 1) get to eat whatever they want of the feast- and those at the very bottom get nothing a all. And there are more people at the bottom than at the top so... this system doesn't really benefit anyone.
And they can bring one thing and our protagonist brings a book... which everyone thinks is ridiculous. And I guess it is. Most people bring weapons, one man brings a rope to climb up to the top, we see a woman with her dog... you can bring any one thing... and no one is really monitoring anything or holding anyone accountable for murder or cannibalism or anything because... yes cannibalism happens in this... if you can stomach watching that- there isn't a whole lot of it in this movie but... it's there.
Anyway the movie starts out pretty interesting... it's just very long and... I really didn't like the ending that much. I feel like they tried doing wayyy too much with this movie and the end just raised more questions than it answered... I don't know if I really want to spoil it... but they're trying to send a message to the people in charge that this system doesn't work and... I don't think it makes sense. The thing they use as a message... it just doesn't really make sense that it's there and no one really knows about it... they just kind of didn't get me there.
Overall I'd still recommend the movie but... I didn't like the ending at all... but it was very suspenseful and the music was really great... they just did a really good job with it!
Bye!
