A would-be thriller whose intended horror-tinged chills register as ho-hum hokum.
"The Condemned" is nothing but a creaky façade.
You may hopefully think you're watching an art-film pastiche along the witty avant-garde lines of something by the Chilean director Raúl Ruiz.
A Puerto Rican drama that straddles the line between (tame) horror movie and (marginal) ghost story.
So tame and so completely boring that to call it a horror film is to insult the genre.
Despite a lavish dose of gothic style (and the occasional inspired flourish, as when surveillance monitors are overcome with home movies of dead children), The Condemned's trek toward absolution is pretty familiar.
If you like psychological/supernatural thrillers that are relentlessly grim and creepy, this is recommended. Others who like their horror to be at least a little on the fun side may find this just numbing.
It adds up to a methodically bland, intellectually sluggish exercise in guilt-tripping that's nonetheless still more interested in its rich and sexy characters than the supposed unfortunates.
