NEXT ISSUE OUT WEDNESDAY 23 AUGUST
Catalan filmmaker Guillem Morales’ uncommonly clever psychological thriller deals with paranoia, the possibility of madness, and perception. What would you do if you let a stranger in your house to use the phone and they just disappeared? Morales, an experienced filmmaker in his homeland, who is not really known here, really pulls out all the stops in this engaging and unsettling slice of dramatic hysteria.
