Nos Miran is a very good and interesting film that has creepy elements but it is not the all-out horror some people do not like. It is similar to The Sixth Sense, and like The Sixth Sense it gives us something to think about for days.... or months.... or possibly years. I have watched it six times, and every time I like it a lot. It does not start very fast, but it is interesting from beginning to end. I enjoy it very much, and if you like films like The Sixth Sense, you cannot leave Nos Miran out of your life.(This review was originally written by me in Spanish and then I translated it to English. Because of differences between the languages, some parts of the review may sound choppy.... I am not a professional translator, but I translated my original Spanish review to English to the best of my ability. I am putting this in the review in protest that IMDb.com would not allow me to submit a review that had both the Spanish and this English translation, despite the movie being in Spanish and my desire to allow people who may primarily speak Spanish to understand my review better.)

Amenabar 's "los ostros" (the others) is now a milestone for Spanish directors .That film overshadows every other work of the last ten years as a complete and perfect fantasy and horror film.(and Amenabar's two precedent films are at least as important and innovative) "Nos miran" is a decent attempt.His main subject -the dead are watching us and are jealous of us cause they are no longer part of the game- is ambitious and the director is not always up to scratch: the subway/train trick was already used too many times ("Jacob's ladder" ,the Spanish "Art of Dying" which is cast in the same mold ,or Autant-Lara's "Marguerite de la nuit").However the writers have included interesting elements: the cop's own story,the grandma who seems to know more things than she claims.And ,mainly in the first part,the director does not forget to show some ambiguity: everything can only happen in the hero's mind.Fortunately,special effects are kept to the minimum,which builds a threatening atmosphere.Not bad.

A police detective reopens a case about the mysterious disappearance of an important businessman and he finds out there's more to this bizarre case than he first thought. Where he discovers the previous cop that was on this case is in a mental hospital, he himself is starting to get manipulated and starts seeing people in reflections that aren't really there. Is it another dimension where the strange beings roam and what does all this got to do with his childhood.This pretty much could've been a pearler of a film, but, yep but it ended up being tiredly underwhelming. This is because the whole mystery of this case slowly fades into tedium after the great first hour and the ending just lacked creditability. Although, that's just me. I thought is just copped out and took a sudden turn that didn't fit in the overall picture. Some might say it was a perfect way to end it, but that's my thought. I'll admit the film doesn't break any new ground, but it's slickly produced, with its incredibly well done direction and disquieting locations. The air is thick of atmosphere, a very unsettling awe that builds from the gloomy and cold settings. That of the cinematography, which covered these settings was truly striking by making you feel as if you were right there. While, the faint hearted score that prominently sinks into the film, just eats away at you. It puts you into a daze of discomfort and totally unhinges you. The story is what kinda derailed it for me. The supernatural touch is constructed into it beautifully, by painting an uncertain picture that seems to haunt you by mixing reality with the spirit world and implying we're being watched all the time. Leaving the door open for different interpretations. The actual topic of people disappearing without a trace and that's means everything they left behind still in the same spot is indeed scary and it does chill you to the bone. It's driven by its mysterious plot and the confronting script that pulls you along for the ride. Although, the more I learned about what was happening, the less I seemed to actually care. It benefit from not having any jump scares, but still it was predictable to know if something was going to happen and after the tight first half it just dwindle in an unconvincing fashion throughout the final scenes. The performances were good and Carmelo Gomez as the police inspector conveys a figure that you care for and truly believe with the emotions he goes through. He is one of the things that keep you wrapped in the dim story.I'm glad I took the chance on watching it, but I'll say seek out "The Nameless" instead, which is more a tailor made mystery that's truly disturbing. Overall, an okay horror mystery that has some class and pours in some interesting ideas into this chilling subject.

I've seen this movie twice and liked it a lot both times, even more on second viewing. It's definitely not for everyone, especially gorehounds. It's pace is deliberate and while you probably won't get any "jump out of your seat" scares you do get some spooky moments and an overall creepy atmosphere. I agree that the film starts out like a police drama but as Juan delves deeper into the disappearance of a married man, he uncovers the startling fact that thousands of citizens from Spain have disappeared throughout the years without a trace. From there, the story starts to take a different spin and we also are introduced to the former detective who handled the case. He just happens to be locked away in a psychiatric facility where he mutters just two words over and over again, "Nos Miran" or "They're Watching". I'm sure many will probably turn their noses up at the ending as it may seem "hokey" or too "hollywood" to them but I love it. I think it works perfectly and if I may respectfully disagree with the other review, I found all the questions neatly answered and resolved at the conclusion. I'm not sure I can recommend this one as I'm not certain it's everyones cup of tea, but I really like it.
