Wikipedia article
'Nos Miran' ('They're watching us') is a 2002 Italian/Spanish film directed by Norberto Lpez Amado and produced by Csar Bentez and Emilio A. Pina. It was later distributed in video form by Warner Home Video. It is a thriller starring Carmelo Gmez with Icar Bollan, Margarita Lozano and Francisco Algora.
The film's tone was different from the previous installments, becoming more family-friendly since W. Bros. underperformed at the box office due to its violence and dark overtones. The budget of the film was an estimated $1,000,000. Production was troubled, with many actors considered for the main roles. Filming locations included Madrid.
The film was released in Spain in September 2002. 'Nos miran' received favorable reviews upon release, but over the years the opinion has gone from favorable to mixed.
