Demonic evil spreads like a pandemic across the Argentinian countryside in Demián Rugna's (Terrified) unanimously acclaimed, Sitges-winning, sadistic exorcism horror.

Near lifeless, grotesquely swollen, reeking, and covered in body fluids, a man lies in a shed in the Argentinian countryside, whimpering for death. He is possessed by a demon, and to prevent the evil from spreading, brothers Pedro and Jimi drag him onto a truck to dump him far from their lands. This macabre incident sets the stage for the year's most violent and surprising horror fest, where not even children, goats, or pregnant women are safe. Demián Rugna has created an intricate, somber, and deeply disturbing masterpiece with its own deeply fascinating mythology.
