Description: The 2021 thriller “Two,” produced by Rodar y Rodar Cine y Televisión, shares thematic similarities with “The Human Centipede.” The plot follows two strangers who wake up glued together at the abdomen in a mysterious room, with no memory of how they got there. As suspicion between them grows, they must piece together the puzzle to escape their dire situation. Described by Variety as a suspense thriller with elements of horror and humor, the film was shot during the 2020 pandemic under strict filming restrictions.
Starring Marina Gatell (known for “Born King” and “Little Ashes”) as Sara and Pablo Derqui (“Julia’s Eyes,” “Isabel”) as David, the film was directed by Mar Targarona, whose previous works include “The Orphanage,” “The Body,” and “The Photographer of Mauthausen.” “Two” premiered in Spain on July 23, 2021, and had a modest box office performance in its limited release. It also screened at the Malaga Film Festival.
Audience reviews are currently sparse, with IMDb rating it 6.0 based on 11 reviews and Letterboxd giving it a 5 out of 10. The film is set to release on Netflix in December. Netflix’s strategy of combining original releases with licensed content has its highs and lows, occasionally producing binge-worthy gems like “The Queen’s Gambit” alongside less successful titles. Stay tuned for more updates on Netflix’s 2021 lineup, featuring a mix of true crime docuseries and highly anticipated films.
