3.0 out of 5 stars Lost in Translation, May 2, 2005

By 

Davichka (Worcester, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Nameless (DVD)

The film starts off with the gruesome, ritualistic-style murder of a young girl that's more graphic and disturbing than anything you'd see on CSI. This accurately sets the stage for the disturbing, underlying plot: that there's a secret society of pathological killers operating just under the radar and they're committing incredibly unspeakable acts of all kinds - without conscience, for the sake of evil itself. All the makings are there for a great psycho-drama, but too much happens in a vacuum for it to be believable. While the film does keep you on the edge of your seat, I found myself yelling at the screen asking the characters "how could you be so stupid?"; people going into potentially dangerous buildings alone, being forewarned about impending doom and yet still casting common sense aside and putting themselves in harm's way. If it wasn't for the the lack of intelligence of the characters portrayed in the film, this secret society couldn't stand on its own.

Putting that aside, the film's native language is Spanish and much of the character's personalities and torment, (however their own doing it may be) are lost in the English overdubbing.

3.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTING... ALAS, June 28, 2006

This review is from: The Nameless (DVD)

This is a kind of film where you are given so much in the beginning you start thinking it can't be a bad movie. But as it often happens the ending ruins it all. In the opening sequence a couple is going to the forensic morgue to identify the body of a girl who is presumably their daughter and who was brutally killed some time ago. Mutilated corpse of a girl in the beginning of a thriller - what can (don't get me wrong) catch our attention better? OK, then we meet the girl's mother 5 years later, now she lives alone. And one day she receives a telephone call from somebody saying it's her daughter and asking for help. WOW! - I thought and drew myself closer to the screen. Fortunately those were not the only intriguing and catchy moments in the movie so I was watching with interest having high expectations about this one. And during all the narration the film kept this tension, dread and macabre feeling about it. Everything was great. What was unfortunate is the ending that killed everything director was building up during these 1 hour 40 minutes. After so many on-screen talks about the essence of evil and somebody trying to commit an act of ultimate malevolence and vice you really wait for something terminally vicious. But you won't get it, that's for sure. It was one of those moments when you stare at the rolling credits and say out loud: "So what?!"
I suggest an interesting thing - watch the first hour and a half of the film and turn it off. You'll be thinking about it for the rest of the month trying to figure out what was happening there - the atmosphere of the "The Nameless" (which in Spanish sounds like "Los sin nombre" implying "them" who have no name) won't leave you. Watch the finale - and it'll ruin the whole impression. But maybe it's just me.
I was hoping this film would be one of the European thrillers that become more and more intense and interesting lately, but it didn't live up to my expectations. Three stars only although it could have had all five. Better watch George Sluizer's "The Vanishing" or recent German "Antikörper" - really talented thrillers from Europe.

1.0 out of 5 stars Get the more expensive version., May 28, 2011

This is a great movie.
It will scare you.
It has a excellent story
It has good special effects,
BUT, this budget label version from EchoBridge Entertainment is listed as widescreen and it is not. ITS FULL FRAME!!!!
I am glad I waited and did not get rid on my Spanish import.
You can purchase the $17.99 version on the old Miramax label (its the one listed above this one on Amazons search page for The Nameless).
Such a shame-this budget version would have been a great deal for $6.99 if it was really widescreen.
