FILM THE HIDDEN FACE DRIVER

However, he finds himself chased and terrorized by the mostly-unseen driver of a tractor-trailer. It centers on a business commuter, played by Dennis Weaver, driving his car through California to meet a client. Its unexpected denouement would be worthy of the master of the macabre himself, thus completing an original and disturbing classic.Duel is a 1971 American action-thriller television film directed by Steven Spielberg in his feature-length directorial debut. Like the work of that master of the twisted tale Roald Dhal, TheР’В Hidden Face keeps the best shock to last. The strains of classical music which echo round the dimly lit mansion as AdriР“РЋn pounds his grand piano late at night would be enough to send anyone over the edge, let alone the fragile Fabiana who increasingly believes that the house she has moved into is haunted.

Though the secluded country house which AdriР“РЋn and BelР“В©n move into is your typical 'haunted house' with twisting corridors, wide open rooms and dodgy lighting which fails just when needed most, it creates an added air of menace through its beautiful yet austere decor. Setting and soundtrack are as important in the creation of the film's suspense and atmosphere as the characters. However, despite Adrian's distress at the apparent loss of BelР“В©n being brought to life with believable intensity by GutiР“В©rrez, it is Lago and GarcР“Вa's performances as the suspicious BelР“В©n and bewildered Fabiana which stand out, leaving the viewer's loyalties torn between the two with equal sympathy and contempt. Eschewing gore for subtlety, the film builds tension by encouraging your affinity with the individual characters.

The Hidden Face works because it has no such constraints. Productions from large Hollywood studios seem honour-bound to include as much visual mayhem as they can, meaning that audiences increasingly have to look beyond mainstream American cinema (in this case to Spain) for cutting edge frights. In the age of the modern horror movie, film-makers appear to have forgotten that often what isn't seen is much more unsettling than anything CGI wizardry can come up with. Everything is fine until Fabiana begins hearing sounds when alone in the house, becoming convinced that there is more to her strange new home than meets the eye. Accepting that she has gone for good AdriР“РЋn moves on and meets a young waitress called Fabiana (Martina GarcР“Вa) with whom he falls in love and brings to live in the house. Then suddenly one morning BelР“В©n disappears. As time passes BelР“В©n convinces herself that AdriР“РЋn is having an affair with a member of the orchestra, which leads her to become increasingly paranoid and hostile towards him.
