Blame/La Culpa (2006) - Undistinguished Spanish abortion TV-flick



Ugly poster for Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's TV movie La Culpa

QUICK REVIEW:

Blame is a Spanish TV movie that seems only worth seeing for Spanish film nerds, because it is both slow, weird and far-fetched.
A woman and her daughter move in with a lonely, lesbian gynecologist, and after an abortion, in which the fetus goes missing (!), murder begins to shake the large house.
It's partly about abortion, partly about Spain and a little bit about women. But it never comes together as a good movie. Some of it is due to the acting that isn't very realistic, in fact the characters often seem like strange soap-opera people.
This thriller drama from the otherwise horror-intended Peliculas Para No Dormir mini-series is a failure for its Uruguayan director Narciso Ibáñez Serrador (Death Is Child's Play (1976)), who has worked mostly in horror films and TV production, but ended his almost 50 year long career with La Culpa.
