Twin Murders: The Silence of the White City is a thrilling borderlin-horror film.It was directed by Daniel Calporsoro and released on march 6th, 2020.It is set in Basque Country, Spain in 2019, and is about a murder detective, Unai Ayala, and his new boss' investigation to find the killer whome they previously thought was in prison. The killer uses symbols from the biblical story of Adam and Eve in order to portray his message: Those who have everything must be brought out of their garden of Eden.
The film brings many typical Spanish aspects of cristianity into a more modern frame. Churches with paintings of stories from the bible are shown but manipulated into modern-day horror and action. The symbols of Adam and Eve such as the apple tree come into frame in a completely new sense: that they can heal a cut or even revive one from the dead. Bees, which are said to be the messengers between the world of the living and that of the dead are used as a weapon rather than a way to speak to angels or god. The story is morphed into a disturbed version with the intent of keeping the watcher on the edge of their seat and looking through the cracks in their fingers.
This film is not only thrilling but also includes unexpected plot twists. It has graphic scenes which added to the horror aspect, but was still tolerable for people who are not fan's of the genre. The acting is brilliant and the plot is intense, to say the least. I recommend this movie to people who enjoy action-filled thrillers with complex plots and who are not offended by alternative interpretations of the Bible.
