More than a thriller, I see The House Taken Over as an intimate drama: I´m more moved by the tragic way the siblings exist in their limbo devoid of meaning, than I´m scared of the invisible threat. Without knowing it, and like so many of us, Hector and Rosa became their own executioners. And if the nature and the real danger of the invasion isn´t clear, the violence and suffering they inflict on themselves (and each other), those are deeply real.
