Marta Etura must be the worst Spanish actress I've ever seen. Expressionless, dull, unable to elicit sympathy or at least, interest.. It doesn't help that her charachter is the most unlikable and bad-written one in the whole trilogy. I've never seen a movie where every single other character is more likable, interesting and worth watching than the protagonist. I haven't read the books, so I cannot say if the story is to blame, but judging the movie by itself, it is just a hollywood wannabe, plus horrible dialogue (Gosh, Etura butchering the English lines was painful to watch, and especially, to hear). Scenes stolen straight from American movies that just don't work. Over the top, farfetched plot, laughable drama and little subtlety make what could have been a decent noir into ridiculous borefest.

Amaia Salazar (Marta Etura) returns from her maternity break to be assigned to the mysterious discovery of the numerous skeletons in a cave, a fleeting reference to which was made in the first part of the Baztan Trilogy, The Invisible Guardian. Unfortunately for her, even on this occasion her disturbed past, family circle and her mother seem to be deeply involved with the sinister case.

Amaia has to balance her time as a new mother, an ace investigator and a wife, whilst battling the demons of her past life. What she discovers is a chilling revelation of her birth, family intrigue and a devastating truth about her mother that clarifies why Amaia was treated with such acrimony by her mother that almost resulted in her choking to death on one occasion. But on this occasion, Amaia's fight is far more personal, as it's not just her, but her newborn baby that's under the threat too.

The Legacy of The Bones pretty much ties up the loose ends left idle in the first part of the trilogy and sheds light on some more disturbing aspects of the Salazar family. The sleepy town, overcast conditions, grey skies and the murky revelations all conjure up a heady cocktail of thrill and suspense in this yet another drama noir that causes significant discomfort for the mind.

This is the second story of a trilogy ( I didn't read the books), I liked the first and this movie went deeper in family history and the towns past. I would have like to see more of the love triangle between "work" husband and actual husband, they are both cute and she has chemistry with both. Still spooky but the murders seemed more methodical and purposeful in the first movie. I will be waiting for the third installment.

Inspector Amaia Salazar (Marta Etura) returns to the Baztán's valley after her pregnant for a new case. And this time even the most beloved for her will not be safe. In this second episode Inspector Amaia Salazar confronts the origins of her nightmares as she unfolds the darkest secrets of the Baztan valley.

It causes that Amaia's breaks waters to birth his son Ibai, making happy her and to sculptor and artist gallery James Westford (Benn Northover) , Amaia's husband . Reinstated to the active service four months later , the sudden appearance of bones a baby in Elizondo is really suspicious and the analysis of the forensic examiner (Paco Tous) leads Amaia to investigate other deaths of similar origin that will lead the inspector to the ending resolution of the events that have devastated the Baztán valley.

The Legend Of The Bones: Inspector Salazar is back. In this connected sequel Amala is investigating a series of murders where women are killed and an arm cut off, the killers then commit suicide. Someone is taunting the inspector, the killers leave her notes with the word Tartallo, a fabled killer of Christians. In a parallel case churches are being desecrated, bones left, it seems to be connected to the persecution of the Cagots by the RCC and The Inquisition. The Cagot community practiced Folk Magic and were accused of being witches. WE see flashbacks of Cagots being burned. Salazar has her own problems: her mother is violently insane; her aunt reads Tarot Cards and sees doom approaching; she has a newly born baby. Another Fortean tale set in the Basque Country, CSI labs in old cavernous buildings, bones found in a cave, dark foresrs. An Opus Dei priest/psychiatrist who believes real evil is at work in the area. Based on a novel by Dolores Redondo, second in the Baztan Trilogy. Director Fernando González Molina working from a screenplay by Luiso Berdejo delivers an engaging dark thriller. In Spanish, English and Basque, subtitled. On Netflix. 8/10.

The second in a trilogy, this movie maintains the same aesthetic and great timing as the first. It flows seemlessly but can be watched independently if you're attentive. The plot is nicely settled between modern police work and supernatural folklore. Looking forward to the final movie.

Incredibly annoying protagonist whose stupidity and incompetence is only matched with the cringe level of the scenes in English with American husband who is utterly superfluous. So many plot holes. Could have been great, missed opportunity.

Based on the best seller Trilogy of Basan, Legado en los huesos is a more solid movie in almost every detail. Budget has increased and special effects are excellent. Scenery is so perfect photographed that inspire fear and desires to be there all at the same time. In general all technical and production aspects had improve substantially and not because the first part had any deficiency. Acting is the only part that requires a little losing up for the main character. Marta Etura a solid actress over acts sometimes or feels too serious for a charismatic character. It is difficult to accept everybody follows and loves her. There is a third part coming that I expect take care of the new characters. A group of great actors doing very little here. I did not read the books but assume their stories will gain weight on the conclusion. In brief; a good thriller with many mysteries and some rather unexpected situations.

Compared to other foreign police thrillers, this is an average one. I'm not sure this should have been done as a movie. It just feels that doesn't have what it takes and besides, leaved some important loose ends. For me, it had much more potential as TV series.

The second gory thriller set in the eerie Basque country follows the same pattern as the first in the series. Stunning landscape of a secluded valley oozes in supernatural and its bloody history keeps a stronghold on this community. Of course, if one is so inclined, one could find numerous plot holes and unanswered questions, but why? Exciting caper dabbling in pagan and even satanic overtones, leading us towards the hopefully fitting ending of this unusual trilogy.

As stated prior... love the good detective portions. The cult and supernatural portions are more take it or leave it for me. Pretty good acting, storyline gets a little discombobulated. Anxious to see what part three brings to the table.

O segundo filme da trilogia Baztan "Legado nos Ossos" (o primeiro é Guardião Invisivel) continua com a mesma linha de filme policial que mistura suspense e magia... só falta a terceira parte. No Netflix. The second film of the Baztan trilogy "Legacy on the Bones" (the first is Guardian Invisible) continues with the same line of police film that mixes suspense and magic ... only the third part is missing. On Netflix #movieslover #netflix.

Legado En Los Huesos (or The Legacy Of Bones for the English title) is the second movie from the Baztán trilogy. I watched the three movies in a couple days and in my opinion this one was the weakest. Still good though but The Invisible Guardian (the first movie) and Offering To The Storm (the last movie) were slightly better. All three are long movies but never boring as there is much going on. This one was just a bit more complicated than the other two. All the stories have something to do with the supernatural but it's mostly a crime investigation. Marta Etura as inspector Amaia Salazar was again very convincing in her role. So were the other actors in this trilogy worth watching if you're into solving murders.

I enjoyed watching the investigations unfold in this murder mystery/thriller. The main storyline is well developed and gets up and running pretty quickly. The characters have depth and are well acted, the main inspector is likable and smart. An enjoyable thriller!

Average rating 6/10? Overrated!!! Very slow movie, bad storyline and the end?? The worst. Again, do not waste 2 hours of your life with this movie, I love Spanish movies, but this one really sucks.

The second of the three Baztan trilogy of movies, following The Invisible Guardian and before Offering to the Storm. Marta Etura again stars as detective Amaia Salazar. Following on from the first movie Amaia is now a mother, having given birth to a son Ibai. Amai and her husband move into a house nearer her Aunt.

Amaia is back to work on anew case where bones found have the dna as hers. She finds out that she indeed had a sister she didn't know about. This all leads back to her mother who is in psychiatric establishment, bad news is she has escaped.

Excellent crime thriller which sets everything up nicely for the third instalment.

One of the best mysteries. Well written and timed. Start to finish gripping. Smart strong lead cop with equally strong team of police. Didn't realize this was a trio of stories and can't wait to read/see the rest.

The movie had an interesting premise but was poorly executed. The problem I'm finding with a lot of foreign movies is that they've copied Hollywood tropes and cliches and they really haven't made them work to their advantage. This is a prime example. The lead detective does nothing but give orders around. Scenes are placed randomly with no continuity making the movie hard to follow. There's no explanation for a lot of scenes, you somehow have to guess what happened or try to infer from the rapidly spoken Spanish. Overall, a poor attempt at a thriller. Watch it if you have nothing else to do on a Sunday afternoon.

Found both movies enjoyable, with suspenseful mystery. Just the kind of movies I love. Waiting for the third one.

This movie is very slow it seems they wish to talk more than actual work. The lead investigator hasn't a clue what she is doing. I also noticed she had a perfect opportunity to help out a young lad but instead turned a blind eye. Overall just boring boring boring and the acting was horrible especially the lead investigator and her boyfriend partner. They definitely picked the wrong actors for this drama.
