Today's film has at least three titles all searching for an audience.

Which it seems not to have found.

It is a Spanish horror thriller with a psychological twist. Gothic too. Spooky.

Tres Campenadas / Thirteen Curses (2002)

is not half bad. In fact, I quite enjoyed it.

And this is not my thing at all.

It helps that the hero, also the possessed is so good looking that it is hard to imagine anyone would want to harm him.

But, as it turns out, his problems are inward, traumatic events as a boy involving the father.

Freud would love this. But that does not get in the way. Cheap psychology is always fun to watch.

It is a bit hard to separate the reality from the fantasy but it does not matter. It all gets explained in the end which is good and it is a credible explanation too.

I would not want to see this again but I am glad I got it this time and the ride was very good indeed. A 3 out of Netflix5.
