In her search for violent video footage, she stumbles onto what may be a real live snuff film, a videotape that her professor was watching before his untimely death. With the help of a geeky gore junkie she uncovers a conspiracy that may include her handsome but sinister new boyfriend, her thesis advisor, and even her weirdo partner. When she uncovers one too many secrets lying in the catacombs of the university basement, she realizes that she may be the next victim. It goes on perhaps too long, and Amenábar's pointed observations on the lure of violence and the dark side of human nature are lost as the spiraling mystery spins into a first-person nightmare, but his skill at weaving a paranoid world where evil may lurk behind every friendly face is undeniable. <I>Thesis</I> is reminiscent of Brian De Palma's early thrillers: dark, stylish, subdued, and bubbling with the characters' guilty (and ultimately dangerous) fascination with the transgressive. <I>--Sean Axmaker</I> Reader Reviews En Tesis, una pelicula de horror y accion, Amenábar obtuvo un nivel de peligroso que fue muy real para la persona que miró. Tambien, fue impresivo que Amenábar creio la composición de musica que fue muy importante en la creación de este nivel. Pensó que la pelicula empezó un poco lento, pero al final, la estructura de que fue posible para las carácteres esta completamente cambiado, y este experiencia es importante para la audiencia. En general, Tesis fue como un misteria de asasino, pero la parte de la victima repongo la parte de la detective. Al final de la pelicula, fue obvioso que Amenábar estuvó enamorado con los detalles que crearon la experiencia para todos las personas. En general, me guste Tesis, que es raro porque es de una género que usualmente no me gusto. - Tony (on Luke's account)
