Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Prof-Hieronymos-Grost Julia(Carmen Maura)is a temp at real estate agency, her first job is to show some clients around a recently vacated apartment in an old district. The apartment is to Julia's surprise fully furnished with all mod cons and much more and with the former tenant being deceased, this gives her the idea of having a romantic meal there with her husband as its nice and bright and warm, their place is damp and cold. During a romantic liaison the ceiling falls in from the apartment above and hundreds of cockroaches fall on them, when the fire fighters arrive to check out the flat above they find the tenant deceased and decaying, Julia finds a map there and which she believes might lead her to some hidden treasure, as the deceased was a lottery millione, sure enough she finds 300 million pesetas in cash stashed under some floorboards. With all the neighbours acting curious and following her, she takes up temporary residence until she can escape with the loot.Darkly comic thriller thats a mix between Shallow Grave and Polanski's The Tenant, with well rounded oddball characters set in a claustrophobically old apartment block. its refreshingly surprising at almost every turn, the only non surprising thing being, we the viewer know its going to be virtually impossible to escape easily with the money. As the film develops we learn the real dark truth being La Comunidad, as the pace simultaneously races, the deeds become ever more darker. Beautifully directed by the versatile Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia, it's a pleasure to watch, as he mixes comedy and horror to perfection.The film as a whole is not strictly horror, but there's plenty of bravura horror scenes here to keep horror fans like myself very happy indeed.
Rogelio Duron De La Garza This movie was great, i really loved the character development,the way director Alex de la Iglesia used its shots and gave us this dark comedy with suspense filled film. Now as a part of my vast collection this film stands as a great film from its director, i was (and still am in some sort of way) in love with his "Day of the beast" now his latest La Comunidad is a great film that shows us a fun story about people ways into big time money. I hope you have a chance to see it and have a blast about its crazyness and its fun ways to entertain all ages. The starwars freak in this film was so funny, i just love his scenes. I want to give it a good 10 out of 10 on Spanish cool horror/suspense films.
holli666 i love this film....Carmen Maura is gorgeous. A new excellent flick from the best director from spain...ALEX DE LA IGLESIA. This man made only GOOD stuff. Eviva Espagna !!!
jredal What would you do if you have one million dollars and your neighbours are just out of your door, waiting to KILL YOU?Take a third of horror/mystery, another third of suspense/thriller, and a third of action movie, season it with dark humoor, and you will get this movie. A property saleswoman finds an apartment, where a mysterious death has happened. Inquiring, she discovers that the neighbours hide a riddle reffering to an important amount of money, hidden for one of them (already deceased). She finds the money... and becomes target for the murderous greed of the remaining residents. There are *a lot* of references to famous movies, from Hitchcock to Star Wars (I had a GREAT laugh from the "I feel the coming of The Force!" scene) including "The Matrix": a typical Spanish 'maruja' (a middle-aged housewife) jumping Trinity-like between two buildings!!!A last thing: the title would be "The Community" in English, but the translated title adds a joke. A great idea!
