an american family move to the countryside of spain to live in an isolated house . regina ( anna paquin ) and the teenager daughter of mark ( iain glen ) and who be sick and have some mental problem and and the nurse maria ( lena olin ) and note that weird thing be happen in the house and with her young brother paul ( stephan enquist ) and but her mother do not believe on her . reggie decides to investigate with her boyfriend carlos ( fele martínez ) the origin of the house and and they find that forty year ago and the place be the stage of the death of six child . reggie decide to ask for support to her grandfather albert ( giancarlo giannini ) to protect her brother against the house and her father . i buy this dvd expect to see a good horror movie of haunt house mainly because of the name of anna paquin and lena olin and fele martínez ( from thesis and abre los ojos ) and giancarlo giannini . further and i like very much spanish cinema . in spite of and i find a terrible screenplay and an awful direction and a deplorable acting of excellent actor and actress . the intention of the story be good and slightly recall the shinning in some moment and but unfortunately it be badly develop and never be clear and for example and the reason and motif why the american family move to spain or the horrible relationship between the member of the family and mainly the situation between maria and reggie . the direction be confuse and poorly try to use dark and shadow to give scary effect to the story . i love anna paquin and but her expressionless face never work in this flick . lena olin be a caricature of the great actress she be while and stephan enquist be too much weak for such important role . only fele martínez have a good performance in his support character . i like the open end of the story . my vote be four . title ( brazil ) represent a sétima vítima ( the seventh victim ) .
