Together they begin to piece together the mystery and link it to The Nameless, an evil sect derived from the Nazis which rose to prominence in the '60s. "They'll be coming back soon." Claudia follows Angela's directions to an abandoned motel where she discovers a plastic bag containing one of Angela's lost boots, so she immediately seeks help from Massera (Karra Elejalde), the recently resigned cop who was in charge of the case. Abandoned by her husband, grief-stricken Claudia works like a drone in the big city but is shaken from her malaise by a telephone call. Needless to say the mother doesn't take the news very well.
Despite the absence of teeth, the corpse's uneven hip structure alerts them to its true identity: Angela, the daughter of Claudia (Emma Vilarasau).
This promising debut for director Jaume Balagueró transplants the story to modern day Spain, where the police discover the grotesquely burned and mutilated body of a young girl. It took three decades for someone to attempt a feature film based on the work of horror novelist Ramsey Campbell, and if The Nameless (Los sin nombre) is any indication, many more filmmakers should give it a try. Directed by Jaume Balagueró / Starring Emma Vilarasau, Karra Elejalde / Filmax (Spain R2 PAL), Universe (HK R3 NTSC) / WS (1.85:1), Buena Vista (US R1 NTSC) / WS (1.85:1) (16x9) / DD5.1 He is the President of the Society of Fantastic Films.Color, 1999, 102m.
