Santi, a young high-school student with a serious physical reaction to sunlight, is forced by his health to move with his single mother to a shadowy, isolated village in the mountains of Spain where the inhabitants begin to reveal themselves as strangely xenophobic. When terrible, violent events begin to occur, Santi becomes first a pariah at school and then strongly suspected by the police of hideous murders. Santi himself, however, wonders if he is not the next victim.

VIBE

This film wraps you in a suffocating blanket of dread. The isolated setting and suspicious locals create a palpable sense of unease, making you question everything and everyone. It's a slow descent into paranoia and fear.
