After she goes missing, the body of Claudia's daughter Angela is discovered by the police. Five years later, Claudia is still distraught over the senseless murder when she receives a phone call from a young woman claiming to be her daughter. Bruno, a now-retired cop who was in charge of the original investigation, takes pity on Claudia and decides to help her track down the caller. What they find, however, is shadowy organization known only as "the Nameless" who may have some sort of supernatural power. [More]

  • The Nameless
  • An intense thriller in the riveting style of SEVEN from the director of DARKNESS! Five years after her daughter was brutally murdered, Claudia remains mired in despair and can't move on with her life. Then she receives a phone call from a young woman claiming to be that daughter, Angela, asking for help and stating that a nameless "they" only wanted Claudia to think she was dead! With skeptical authorities unwilling to help, it's up to Claudia herself to investigate the shadowy subculture of danger and secrecy that holds the answer to Angela's true fate! Lauded with numerous international movie awards including Best International Film at the Fant-Asia Film Festival, THE NAMELESS will put you on the edge of your seat as the mystery deepens all the way through its pulse-pounding conclusion!

    ...sporadically intriguing but mostly dull.

    I wound up admiring Balaguero's visual style, his imagery and cinematography, while remaining indifferent toward his characters, and hating his narrative.

    Just how wildly the film flies off of the rails is enough to set eyeballs spinning--that is, if viewers' eyes are even open by that point.

    Cary Fukunaga makes an impressive feature-length debut with Sin Nombre, a gritty film.
