Spanish movie Two (Dos) is weird and thrilling in equal measures. Sara wakes up from a stupor and finds herself laying on top of a stranger. And David finds himself lying below an unknown woman. After the initial freaking out, Sara and David try to move away from each other and to theirs as well as our horror, find themselves surgically sutured to each other. Yes. Their abdomens have been stitched together. They move around the room looking for clues and ways to find out how this could have happened to them. Sara says the last thing she remembers is going out to meet her husband, whereas the last thing David remembers is waiting for his date to turn up. But the question remains, why and how would someone be able to commit such an evil act? They speculate, argue, try to pry themselves from each other, but it all ends them being more clueless than before. Not to mention, the pain. Two is shot entirely in one room. This lends it a claustrophobic horrifying theme. Running at around 70 minutes, Two doesn't give you time for habituation. It throws you right in the middle of the ocean. Us, Sara, and David are left with scraps to find out what happened to them. They find photos of people they have never met. Food magically appears in the room. Hidden cameras are recording everything. But everything comes in pairs. Two. The abductor believes in the magic of two. Of Yin and Yang. Throughout the movie, Sara and David try to figure each other out. If they had anyone in their lives who was capable of this. Sara is sure of one. David believes what Sara suspects. Since the movie is short, all the explanations, plot twists, and revelations happen quickly. It gives you very little time to come out of the bizarreness. But the movie leaves you a little disappointed when it nears the end. But despite the unusual plot and the anticlimax, Two is worth a watch for a fleeting thrill this weekend! By SB
