Cast: L'année dernière à Marienbad (1961). Mr.
a film that unfortunately falls into the category of predictable Sunday comedies
Álex de la Iglesia, known for his mastery of suspense and horror, seems to have taken a detour with «El cuarto pasajero». The film, despite its potential, lacks the originality and suspense that fans have come to expect from De la Iglesia’s work.
It’s a wonder why they chose to take on a project that doesn’t fully utilize their talents
The story is simple and it becomes obvious early on what the outcome will be, leaving little room for surprise or commitment. The cast, including Blanca Suárez, Alberto San Juan, and Ernesto Alterio, are talented actors, but their performances are overshadowed by a script that doesn’t do justice to their abilities.
The film’s humor and romantic elements feel forced, and it lacks the wit that could have elevated the narrative
In short, "El cuarto pasajero" is a forgettable entry in Álex de la Iglesia’s filmography, lacking the depth and creativity that characterizes his films. It’s disappointing to see such a talented director and cast in a project that fails to leave a lasting impression.
