A babysitter-free pizza party curdles into haunted-house horror with a psychological twist when two brothers are left home alone in this Mexican midnight festival hit.

Widow Catalina has just moved into a sprawling new house with her sons, but when the babysitter doesn’t show, she’s forced to leave them alone for the night to finalize the property deal. What starts as unlimited gaming and junk food quickly turns sour as each brother becomes convinced the other has violent intentions. Emilio Portes (Belzebuth) mashes up Home Alone with Insidious in a referential crowd-pleaser packed with nods to Craven and Kubrick. Cancel the babysitter and leave the kids home alone for the ultimate cinematic experience.

Midnight Mania

One of the screenings of this film is a Midnight Mania screening. Midnight Mania showcases the year’s best indie thrillers and splatter horror, just as they’re meant to be seen: late at night, in the dark, and on the big screen. At Skeppet, you can buy a beer to enjoy in the auditorium. Cinema, beer and blood – exactly as it should be.
