The Invisible Guest is my second Oriol Paulo thriller, and it's a terribly good one, where all your narrators are unreliable liars and cinematic reality can't be trusted. A rich businessman in a hotel room. His new defense attorney grills him about his story as he faces charges for the murder of his lover. She's interrogator and detective, pushing him to reveal another crime he's covering up and that could hurt his defense. But how far do the lies go? It starts with a locked room mystery, and the lawyer keeps telling her client - and therefore us - to concentrate on the details, but we probably keep missing them, only to say "I should have seen it" later. Great, great twists throughout, and in terms of suspense, I was often reminded of Hitchcock, and that's not a bad thing to evoke. Such a well-constructed puzzle movie that, between this and Mirage, I have been convinced to seek out Oriol Paulo's other films. See if you can figure this one out.
Even though I did see some pretty amazing acting, photography and editing, and the plot was pretty enticing from the very beginning, I really wished that ending wasn't so gorram predictable.
(If you didn't see that plot twist coming from a mile away, you really need to watch more films, my good, good friend.)

Perhaps I have seen to many movies of this type, but I found the twist to be quite evident untilnager
Predictable plot as you can feel that something is wrong about the whole situation. It's never one of the best 250 movies ever made.TheMaxPlus
