A Fulci-Inspired Descent into Political Terror and Macabre Madness. The Onetti brothers have masterfully conjured a film that plunges into the depths of human depravity, intertwining political and supernatural horrors in a way that is as disturbing as it is captivating.

In 1978, directors Luciano and Nicolás Onetti conjure a nightmarish world that echoes the horrors of Lucio Fulci's apocalyptic cinema while weaving in the real-life political unrest of Argentina's "Dirty War." It effectively generates discomfort, fear and genuine horror.

The Onetti brothers unleash their full imagination to transform this inhumane torture center into a literal hell.

Excellent narrative structure that surprises from beginning to end. An impeccable aesthetic.
