The argument is this: two men and a woman have an accident and lost at night in the middle of the forest. A mysterious man tells them they can take refuge in a nearby convent of cloistered monks belonging to the Order of Silence. The night they will do long.
First, it is surprising that a film made in 1934, retains a more than acceptable technical features, including voice recording. It is also commendable success in the work location and the stage where he spent virtually the entire history, a convent dark and dreary (true protagonist of the film), presented with a beautiful picture at all times and location.
The pace of "The Phantom of the Convent" is deliberately slow, but far from lowering its interest, get with it to give the film more dramatic tension, soon boasted to the supernatural and from there to the horrific.
With respect to a script with few cracks, hanging over the film as some dizzying musical inadequate inputs and some comments laughable overacting in some of its players (note that until shortly before this shoot the film was pure grin) and an end very of its time, naive and almost comical, but that gives the film a certain irony and irresistible charm. The story has its greatest achievements that can not be criticized any moral excess, something that would have been easier and more common in those days, nor falls in Manichaeism because the ambiguous role played by the only woman ever know if it's real or just been possessed by a ghostly entity ... And the best thing to say and above all, it is a film that never loses its interest, including the seriousness of the issue and the freshness of its resolution.
A movie that leaves no one indifferent, which has its greatest charm in its very simplicity and unpretentiousness and advise his vision for Spanish speakers are easy to view through a pair of tickets to the entire movie on the YouTube website.
