The umpteenth version of a well-known story (check the title which is the hero's name).it begins well enough,but after an half-hour,it's run of the mill pact with the devil.The actor playing Rilla the "survivor" obviously tries to ape De Niro's style in "Angel Heart".But whereas Parker's work had a solid screenplay,this Spanish story falls apart in the second third and fails totally to convince in one of the most disappointing conclusions a horror movie has ever offered.The movie fills its quota of sex ,"surgery" and gore .Every Spanish director is not Amenabar,by a long shot.I must confess I have not understood the meaning of 5.0.....if it has one of course.
