Genre HORROR
Theme Paranormal Investigation
Style Found Footage
Director: Abe Rosenberg Fishbein · Cast: Anna Cetti, Mario Escalante, Michel Chauvet, Juan Luis Tovar
The Story
Four young men investigate a real, since-demolished Mexico City psychiatric clinic shortly before it’s torn down, chasing decades of rumors about strange events inside. Only fragments of their footage were ever recovered.
Verdict
A solid, if fairly familiar, entry in the ever-growing abandoned-asylum subgenre. I think it’s worth checking out specifically if you’re curious about the Latin American found footage scene, since there aren’t as many well-known entries from that region on most lists like this one.
