There Were Thirteen

About This Movie

There Were Thirteen is quite an interesting piece, really. Directed by David Howard, this Spanish-language adaptation of Charlie Chan Carries On captures a unique vibe. The pacing leans towards the methodical, allowing you to soak in the moody atmosphere of a London hotel, which feels almost claustrophobic at times. The performances, delivered by a different cast, bring a fresh take on the familiar characters. The film does a solid job of blending crime and mystery with a sense of dread that lingers. Practical effects may not be as flashy as today’s standards, but they add a certain grit that enhances the narrative's authenticity. It's a curious entry in the Chan series, showcasing how different interpretations can yield distinct experiences.
