This moody Spanish horror pays tribute to the old masters of the genre.

Without giving too much of the plot away, it’s a mixture of The Number 23 and John Carpenter’s very harrowing The Prince of Darkness, combining the apocalypse with occult rituals, numerology, and modern day scares.

From one of the directors of the Saw franchise, this is surprisingly coherent, full of mythological flavour, and actually frightening.
