Long-term use of certain drugs affects the human psyche, and just like a smoker's lungs gradually fill with tar, a drug addict's brain starts to suffer from paranoid delusions. I can't explain this film by Spanish filmmakers other than through drug-induced hallucinations. This world doesn't make sense, I haven't found any functional structure in it, and, in fact, I didn't even understand what the directors were aiming for. It partially resembles a filmed nightmare, and the only thing that really works and for which the film got a star is the horror scenes because only a few animated films can truly frighten, and Psychonauts successfully achieve that with the scenes featuring a flying demon. Other than that, I was counting every minute until the end. Overall impression: 25%.
