Very well-made with an excellent, almost silent central performance, but even at only 35 minutes, it feels too long. Cut 10 minutes and you'd have a great little Twilight Zone episode, albeit a particularly nasty one. And yes, the ending is very striking, but the lack of a clear explanation for what's going on and why is disappointing. "Something something metaphor."

Premise is really cool, the first half works extremely well, and the ending is nice. From about the halfway point to the ending, however, the film drags and is very unfocused.

Otherwise cool idea is infinitely dragging. If Mercero's unnecessary self confidence didn't get in the way and managed to cut it in 10 minutes...unfortunately he's no Tati. The ending 3-4 minutes is striking.

A one-joke movie that, even at this length, takes too long to finish the joke

Takes a long while to get going but once it does it ends in a nightmare.

Watch this as a psychological horror short rather than a comedic film. The subject matter is so dream-like there's no explanation for anything that occurred.

Terrible... Poor execution of a "fun idea for an ending" (and don't worry, it is funny - if you're into hundreds of dead people in locked phone booths) with an extremely lousy and unbelievable build-up... Hell, Schumacher's "Phone Booth" is 100 times more interesting, and his "Batman & Robin" at least twice as fun. Watch only the first two, and the final minute (not the last 15 seconds though) and it's mildly entertaining

Even at only 35mins it drags a bit, but the conclusion is quite something.

Underwhelmed me. Indeed, even as a short, incredibly overlong for a one joke movie and not a great joke at that.

Eh it was okay. Beginning dragged on too long for my taste. Ending however is standout and striking.

İlk bölümü bir orta metraj için bile tekrara düşse de genel anlamda ilgi çekici olduğu söylenebilir. Askıda kalan finali, aslında filmin tamamı farklı okumalara açık.

Feels like one of the best episodes of the Twilight Zone, except as a Spanish made-for-TV movie
