Spanish critics weigh in on recent films Nosferatu and La Odisea

Illustrator Tomás Hijo, known for his work on a Dracula edition for Minotauro, recommends three recent movies that impressed him. He highlights Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu" for its unsettling atmosphere and unconventional pacing, and mentions the horror‑thriller "Backrooms" by Kane Parsons as an example of a film that emerged from internet folklore.

In a separate commentary, several Spanish‑language critics discuss the new cinematic adaptation of Homer's "Odyssey." Critics such as Irene Vallejo, translator Emily Wilson, and reviewer Daniel Kimmel express disappointment, arguing that the film fails to capture the timeless qualities of the classic and treats the source material like a comic book rather than a literary masterpiece.
