But when she gets a frantic phone call from a girl claiming to be Angela, begging to be rescued, Claudia goes to Massera for help. She works as an editor at a publishing house and faces a looming deadline for her new project while dealing with the anniversary of Angela’s death. Claudia has done her best to put her life back together. Because of the condition of the body, Massera advises against Claudia even trying to identify her daughter. Using these clues, it is determined that the girl is Angela, the missing daughter of Claudia (Emma Vilarasau). The only things that Massera (Karra Elejalde)-the police detective on the case-has to go on are a bracelet found near the body and the fact that the victim has one leg that is a few centimeters longer than the other. Not only was the girl tortured before her death, most of the traditional methods used to identify her are rendered useless through the murderer’s use of acid to destroy the face and fingerprints and knocking out her teeth. The film opens with the grisly discovery of a murdered little girl. When The Nameless eventually wastes a good premise, cast, and terrific first act, it’s almost too depressing to write about, but here goes. I hate even more to see a movie waste a good premise and cast. I hate to see a movie waste a good premise. Every day in October, I will watch a different horror film I have never seen before and write about it here on the blog. I am doing the 31 Days of Horror Challenge.
