La cabina (1972 TV Movie)
8/10
Not for those who get easily desperated.

This is a little dirty hidden gem. There is no need to know Spanish because most of the dialogs in the movie are rather atmospheric elements. You just learn that the two men who first try to help the man trapped in the cabin cannot continue trying to help him because they are late for work. Then, people mock the second though guy by calling him Tarzan. But those lines and mocking setting help to create a black humor atmosphere.

The rest of the movie, after our mustached man hero is "rescued" by the cabin company is just when the fun really begins.

The acting by the main character is really good even though that it's mostly a silent performance. You can hear some lines from him but his facial expressions tell everything you need to know. His desperation, anger, feeling of uncertainty, are very well displayed. Plus, the score deserves special mention because it helps to increase the tension in the most important scenes. The score used when the cabin is traveling though the tunnel is perfect for the scene.

HUGE SPOILERS The ending is disturbing and you can feel the pain of our main character when he sees the rotten corpses and skeletons of other unfortunate cabin booth victims. The climax of the movie is a perfect way to end this 30 minutes Black Horror Comedy. Please track it down, it's the perfect appetitive before watching a Horror movie.
