ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

John Seal This Colombian-made thriller may not win any prizes for originality, but what it does, it does well. Effectively blending elements lifted from Repulsion and countless J-horror films, Al Final del Espectro stars the marvelous Noelle Schonwald as Vega, a filmmaker trying to recover from the shock of seeing her boyfriend almost killed on the job. Her father sets her up in a dank apartment, where she installs several closed circuit cameras to bring order and safety to her world. Of course, the effect of the cameras is the exact opposite of what she intends, and strange and spooky events begin to unfold on the grainy VCR footage. Schonwald's performance reminded me of early Christina Ricci; physically, she looks like an adult version of little Kyra Schon, the terrifying child zombie from the original Night of the Living Dead. This is an extremely claustrophobic thriller that works magnificently until the third act revelations, which unfortunately leech much of the mystery and horror out of the film--a mistake not made by Polanski in Repulsion. Still and all, this is an above average chiller from a country not usually associated with the genre.

caste78 When I heard that Colombia would make a horror movie, at last, I felt like a little boy waiting for a candy, I'd seen how some countries from the distant east have increased their interesting for horror films, for instance, the grudge or the eye filled my expectations, they were really scary movies, but this one failed at the time of supporting the plot alive during the whole movie, sometimes I fell asleep, thought it had some scaring-peaks. I liked Noelle acting, she was one of the good things that had this movie.I think that "al final del espectro" was a good attempt, but it couldn't let the typical slowness that it has characterized the Colombian cinema.

moralesduarte28 I'm a student of film-making in Colombia. This movie really makes me sad in the way that there are so many projects of films that are more interesting, but they are not supported, because the infamous people of Colombia and many of their filmmakers believe that telling stories of Colombia's problems is something boring and "typical". It only pronounces more the sense of indifference that is overwhelming this hurt nation. Now, talking about the movie, it stinks. The story is too entangled, showing us the problems in its screenplay. The acting of Julieth (Tulipan), is pathetic, too cliché. This character is the same thing as the typical misunderstood teen (oh what a surprise, a wannabe Gothic girl) The movie itself is big cliché of American horror movies, in which the horror is done through the typical terrifying noise, but not from the image itself. In the technical aspect I think that the movie is good, although there are many out of focus, that you can tell that are not intentional. The audio of the movie is well done, and the lightning is pretty descent. I also admire that the movie has got a big response in the public, so be free to watch it and drop your own conclusions.

septimoarte-1 Very very good. It's cinematography will surely win the Colombian Film Award next year. The editing and the direction were superb, giving us very well-done tension moments. I liked the story in general and it looked to me extremely claustrophobic.Such a cool ending. Very scary.Noelle was very good here, and also the beautiful Julieth Restrepo, in her movie debut. Correct me if I'm wrong, but was Tulipán a lesbian? Cause there are facts that can prove it...Congratulations, cast and crew, I hope the American remake don't destroy this amazing amazing amazing Colombian movie. Keep working.
