As a result of the game, Clarissa reveals that she knows who is trying to hurt Mary and indicates that both the English and Queen Catherine are playing a part in the scheme. The two are to play a guessing game: if Mary guesses right, Clarissa rolls the marbles back to her if she guesses wrong, Clarissa can keep them. One of the marbles she dropped rolls, meaning that Clarissa is there. She announces that she needs help and that if the girl can hear her, to come out and find her. That night, Mary goes into the passageway on the hunt for Clarissa. Mary enters into the doorway and calls out to Clarissa, picking up a marble. Included in that are guessing games where he learns things. He says that her name is Clarissa and she decides when you see her, she knows secrets and sees everything, and he bribes her to stay around, despite the fact that she dislikes people. The next day, Mary finds Charles talking to a friend lurking in a passageway. His torturer leaves and a strange white-clad figure frees both his hand and foot bounds before encouraging him to leave. In Snakes in the Garden, Colin is shown to be alive, albeit in the process of being tortured. At the end of the episode Clarissa is behind Mary when she thanks her for warning her not to drink the wine. When Mary is in her chambers by herself she hears noise and walks over to a divider where she places her hand and is told by Clarissa not to drink the wine. I think the lasting impression of the movie, as the title implies, reminds us that in each of us there is that hidden face which is revealed when we are pushed to our absolute limits.Ĭlick on Poster to purchase DVD.In the Pilot, Clarissa is first mentioned by Rose at the convent who says that there are ghost there. And thanks to this fan-made trailer which will save you from the Spoiler that the official trailer is, hopefully you’ll enjoy the suspense as much as I did. There were elements of The Hidden Face that so reminded me of the 2000 supernatural horror flick that Robert Zemeckis did ( What Lies Beneath) while he was waiting for Tom Hanks to lose weight and grow whiskers for Castaway: a perfect relationship rocked by deception, a dead woman from the past, and a haunted bathroom with ripples in the water from the other side….I thought I knew exactly what was going on. But it’s really not at all about him this plot totally revolves around Fabiana and Belén and the moral and ethical dilemma of the unique circumstances in which they find themselves. The only uninteresting fact of The Hidden Face is Adrián himself, who comes across like such a sneaky jerk and such a vapid individual that I kept wondering how these two women could be so desperately in love with him.

Then through a series of flashbacks we understand exactly what’s going on and the movie becomes really interesting. Soon after Fabiana settles in to her role as the new girlfriend, things start to go a bit haywire in the bathroom and she begins to believe that the ghost of Belén is haunting her. The police are sorta-kinda investigating the disappearance of Belén, which makes the audience begin to wonder exactly what has happened to this young woman. It’s insultingly soon that the new girl insinuates herself into his bed and his home. She’s often nude and likes to jump on the bed and she doesn’t like his dog…this is when I almost hit the Stop button but didn’t. When promising young Spanish conductor Adrián (Quim Gutierrez) realizes that his girlfriend Belén (Clara Lago) has left him over jealousy – he drowns his sorrows at a neighborhood bar and ends up going home with the lithesome young waitress, Fabiana (Martina Garcia). Cleverly directed by Andrés Baiz as almost a film-within-a-film, it’s a tight suspense thriller which manages to present two opposing female leads in surprisingly sympathetic performances. The Hidden Face (La Cara Oculta) is a 2011 Spanish film that I promise won’t disappoint you even though I know you’ll be so tempted to turn it off after 10 minutes and wonder if Norma’s Streaming Picks has jumped the shark.
