Death never runs out of time, especially in The Abandoned, a bloody tale that raises the bar for haunted house horror with its shocking story, extremely high production values and excellent direction and cinematography.
Set for DVD release on 19 May 2008 courtesy of Momentum Pictures, The Abandoned is a metaphysical Spanish horror film from Nacho Cerdà, and most certainly not your normal run of the mill slasher-of-the-week fare. Featuring stunning performances from its great cast headed by Karel Roden (The Bourne Supremacy, Hellboy, Blade 2) and Anastasia Hille (The Hole), The Abandoned pushes the haunted-house movie into an abstract realm where the past and present fold into each other. Superbly crafted by Cerdà and his first-rate cinematographer Xavier Giménez (Intacto, The Machinist), this is a rare horror film that moves from the real world into a kind of psychic space, and slowly suffocates its characters inside their own heads.
