The Abandoned

Los abandonados
Spanish filmmakers are good at making evocative and highly effective thrillers. The Others and The Machinist are just a few examples. Nacho Cerda’s feature debut contains equally surreal and nightmarish elements, and rather goes in for creepy eeriness than blood-dripping splatter. In a hectic prologue, two babies are found by the side of a blood-drenched woman in Russia in 1966. The film continues in the present, when an American career woman comes to Russia, having inherited a house. She doesn’t know her family, but nonetheless wants to look at the deserted property. She shouldn’t have done this, for the past contains many unpleasant secrets. Inspired by films by directors such as Mario Bava and Dario Argento, The Abandoned is a macabre and feverish dream, feeding on consistent imagery and creepy sound design.
