Must admit that I was sadly disappointed. Having read a synopsis I was expecting so much more. What we got was lots and lots of Argentinian landscapes and mountain scenery, and repeated glances at this notebook that the doctor kept drawing in. So much was implied and for a subject matter that could have commanded a rather good horror movie/thriller this was more of a damp squib. Indeed the doctor's name wasn't even made evident until the closing credits. A real missed oppertunity.
That said, perhaps such subject matter should not be glorified into something that would otherwise serve to entertain. Perhaps this then should have been more of a documentary.

6/10

Wanted more from this.
Sorry to hear that. I quite fancied it from the synopsis but tix all gone when I tried. Just as well. I escaped work at 10.45pm. Nothing quite like a 14hour day to cheer me up.
