This stylish Spanish horror film stars Paul Naschy, the legend of international horror who has played countless monsters and villains, garnering a reputation as the Spanish Lon Chaney. In the tradition of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, the story unfolds as a group of former students from the Monte Alto International High School return to pass a night in it's now-shuttered confines; the proceedings are recorded by the tech-savvy Jordi (Zoe Berriatua), who wears a mini-cam in his hat. The school has been closed down since a brutal bloodbath perpetrated by an insane security guard years earlier. The group is a motley bunch, led by the confident and logical Ramon, whose motivations as the night progresses are cast in an ever more doubful light. As the kids are picked off one by one, they encounter visions of the previous massacre, and the question presents itself: is the murderer human or not? Naschy's evil night watchman is played with characteristic aplomb, making this late-career performance a resounding testament to a lifetime spent perfecting villainy. The gut-wrenching suspense and well-executed gore make this chiller a truly terrifying experience.
