What people seem to dismiss about this kind of films, is that at their core they are grounded in some frightening truths. You think 5g is the future? Your so wrong. There are corporations that run on 10 and 11g in parts of the world. Quantum computing is here already. You just will never get to use it. Conscious A.I. is what is coming and may already be here. This is not bogus UFO propaganda type material. This is what's actually happening behind the scenes. He who has an ear to hear and a mind to understand, take notice.

Plot summary
In a peaceful house resort set in Picos de Europa National Park close of the town of Potes, Cantabria (north to Spain),a group of friends from their university times meet to pass a full weekend together after several years: they are Rafa and Lucía, the hosts and who found the house for the meeting; computer technician David (Rafa's best friend) with his girlfriend Sara; Julia, who works for a software company, with her boyfriend, lawyer Ricardo; Dani, who moved to Sevilla where he met his girlfriend teacher Eva; and finally too computer technician Mónica, who recently split of his boyfriend Carlos. With the absence of Chema, traveling by Asia, Rafa, David and the others have a friendly dinner remembering old times and antics of youth, creating unintentionally a debate about the digitally overexposed 21st century's society, in permanent connection to Internet with all kind of devices as cell phones and tablets, and the risks that it entails as identity theft, handling of personal information, deep web, dark web, dark net and the possible rise of an artificial intelligence. After the revelation that Rafa not only works as cyber security technician for important high-tech companies but he collaborates with the global anti-system movement Anonymous, Rafa makes an explosive declaration: he claims to have decrypted the famous Julian Assange's Insurance Files and did read the information hidden in it. Reluctants to believe him Rafa gives David, who works in R&D, his cell phone to watch an App of Augmented Reality which design was in the Files. Realizing that the App is capable to see 30 seconds in the future, shock spread everyone: Sara panics fearing the consequences of it, Eva and Ricardo suggest report it to the authorities, and Julia makes a secret call of her company, trying to take advantage of it. After Rafa explains that the App is limited to 30 seconds due to the source code, Mónica turns on her laptop and connects Rafa's cell phone to it, in an attempt to check and alter the code to overpass the limit of 30 seconds. But when finally Mónica, David and Rafa succeed after a few failed tries, all they disclose an endless horror that it could to have disastrous consequences for human race.—Chockys

Nice dystopian film
I'm a big fan of dystopian novels and films--I think they present some interesting ideas, especially when based on things that truly exist, like current technology. One of the characters makes the wonderful observation that we no longer have cell phones, we have computers that allow us to make phone calls. Is there anyone who truly thinks about the technology at our fingertips who has not thought of such a thing at one time or another?
That's not to say that the film isn't riddled with improbabilities. When using current technology as a springboard for ideas, some leaps of logic can go awry. As an American, I loved the idea of the United States government being the "bad guys," even when I have doubts that some of our techs and politicos can barely tie their shoes without supervision. I won't go into the tech issues, which have been covered already. Sometimes you need to speed up processing times for the sake of the story and sometimes "goofs" are deliberately made to keep people from doing incredibly stupid things by reproducing what they see in a movie. As long as the story moves forward in a reasonably logical way, I can be a bit forgiving.
The cinematography for this film was truly excellent. It relied on a few special effects, but nothing that would have prevented the film from being enjoyable without them. Honestly, because most of it took place in one room, it could probably be adapted to a stage play without much effort. The fact the director could get so much intensity from such a limited primary cast in such a limited environment says much about this relative new guy's skills. I will probably keep an eye out for future films, even though I'll probably have to stream them as I did this one.
What really prompted me to give this film an 8 rather than a 7 was that I saw the dubbed version. Anyone who's watched a dubbed film knows that dialogue suffers, especially due to the lack of intensity in the dub actors' voices. This lack of intensity could have ruined the final five minutes of the story, but for the very emotive acting being done there. That I enjoyed the film as much as I did, even being dubbed, says a lot for the film.

Nice movie
Good surprise for some journalists at the Cannes Film Market 2019, Hous3 is playing the originality card first and foremost. A reunion weekend of old students friends will be disturbed when one of them confess that he successfuly decrypt a confidential file every hacker of the world try to decrypt.
A house (living room and dining room),9 actors speaking especially about computer science : onto the paper, Hous3 project is barely exciting, except for computer fans. This is all the more a surprise.
For his first movie, Manolo Mungia offsets his low budget by a lot of ideas, a flawless direction of the cast (each actor plays very well, helped by punchy dialogues) and a rhythm never grow less. Let it be a simple conversation to guess passwords or when the characters type on keyboards to decrypt code, the movie is never boring. The staging permits at each footage to capture the views of its nine characters while maintening the suspense (strenghtened by excellent musical choices).
Like other excellent movies like The Invitation (Karyn Kusama, 2015) or The Circle (Aaron Hann & Mario Miscone, 2015),Hous3 is a closed-room fully mastered (very good spatial management),also into its end fairly surprising (maybe a little too abrut for some people). Hous3 deserves to be discovered urgnetly and Manolo Mungia takes place into the list of horror/fantasy movies directors to pay attention to.
