Horror. Sogecine, Dimension. 2001.
D: Alejandro Amenábar.
P: Fernando Bovaira, José Luis Cuerda, Sunmin Park.

“A woman who lives in a darkened old house with her two photosensitive children becomes convinced that her family home is haunted”.

A smart twist on the classic ghost story in this very effective film of the horror genre, which lately has rarely seen writing, directing and acting of this level. Its achieved cinematography recalls the look of the foggy Universal horror films. Striking for its use of sound and its inversion of the usual genre codes.

Significant production contribution: Cinematography (Javier Aguirresarobe); Screenplay (Alejandro Amenábar); Direction; Acting (Nicole Kidman, Fionula Flanagan, Alakina Mann)
