In the 1600s, long before the invention of photography, a scientist named Girolamo Fumagalli was obsessed with the idea of reproducing images. He discovered that by killing a victim and removing the victim's eyeballs, it was possible to reproduce on paper the last image imprinted on that person's retinas. He named this technique 'thanatography'. Today, the same kind of gruesome ritual and abominable crime recurs within the walls of an international school of cinema.... (Full plot summary below)

| User ReviewArianna DGreat spaniard movie, the skills to create horror and intense scenarios is remarkable. only one of the many examples Spain does not only in movies but in tv as a matter of suspense or horror. the chance to see the legendary Chaplin saga. |
| User ReviewMauricio Fq pelicula mas buena, muyyyyyyyyyy recomendable cabros... al cine esta ya no llegó ! aplique bajada de la red! |
| User ReviewGiovanni TFotografia eccezionale, bravissimo regista e ottima trama..forse un pò lento, e una dubbia scelta del protagonista...ma è un ottimo giallo italiano!!! |
| User ReviewJose Soriginal idea, would have added a more creepy atmosphere, or more charisma in the main characters and the killer of course ;-) |
| User ReviewStefano LUn poco lenta y algo topica y el doblaje de lo peor... pero no deja de ser interesante y, ademas, el final no es tan previsible como parecia... Muy bien Alberto Amarilla y Leticia Dolera, haciendose un hueco en el cine internacional... |
| User ReviewDavid ROriginal thriller fantástico que, por momentos, me recordó un poco a Tesis y, en otros, al universo de las pelis de Guillermo del Toro. Entretenida y con buena fotografÃa. La vi en versión italiana con subtÃtulos en inglà (C)s. |
| User ReviewPrivate UUn trailer ben fatto mi ha spinto a vedere questo film. Dopo la prima noiosissima mezz'ora stavo quasi scivolando sulla poltrona del cinema e mi stavo addormentando quand'ecco che alcuni validi elementi registici scattano all'occhio. Per essere un film italiano sicuramente e' al di sopra della media sia come regia che fotografia, ma certamente se il regista Bessoni oltre alla collaudata Geraldine Chaplin si fosse impegnato maggiormente nella ricerca di due protagonisti maggiormente validi ed espressivi il film sarebbe riuscito sicuramente meglio. morale della favola : la storia non mi ha emozionato, ne' spaventato piu' di tanto, gli attori meno che niente; l'unica nota del film che ne accresce il valore la regia e la fotografia. Progetto che poteva essere forse meglio curato sopratutto perche' sovvenzionato dal comune di Torino |
| User ReviewSergio RI can't decide myself: was it more boring or more disappointing? One thing for sure, the acting in this movie is terribly generic and uninspired. |
| User ReviewLuciano GNot the worst movie experience, but nothing that remains afterward...... |
| User ReviewEnrico FLa stella è giusto per la discreta fotografia... |
