You'll need to have subtitles for Jaula unless you speak Spanish. I'm finding these non-English horrors are really putting the US and UK to shame, where have the good horrors gone?
Jaula is a tense mystery horror that is as much based on whispering conversations and strange happenings around the girl and a feeling of dread filled creepiness that keeps you hooked from the start.
The whispering is strange, they just seem to talk very quietly in the film, maybe a given direction I'm not sure but it helps build the atmosphere, especially as the young girl they adopt, Clara, begins to chalk odd lines in their home and she doesn't feel like talking. Her mood swings grow as we get deeper into the film and the adoption agents visit to try and learn who she is and where she might come from.
It's not long before we discover what the lines are for and the blood curdling horror begins. I thought Jaula was gripping and intense from beginning to end and worthy of anyone's time watching a decent foreign horror.
Have you seen these?
