Serena is the manager of Paradiso Palms, an apartment complex whose residents scarcely value her efforts. Her routine is turned on its head when she discovers a disturbing death at the building. What initially seemed to be the outbreak of a virus, soon proves to be a much more terrifying reality: a new species of highly venomous spider is spreading at breakneck speed throughout the complex. Directed by Algeciras-born Ángel Gómez Hernández, the name behind Don't Listen (2020) and The Boogeyman (2023).
A maximum security prison ruled by a tyrannical warden is shaken by a series of horrific murders, the victims' bodies being placed on macabre display. Who is the culprit? And who will be the next victim? Amid improvised dance numbers and sudden prayers for salvation, brutal hand-to-hand combat and references to Kierkegaard, the inmates try to stay alive. Setting aside the rivalry between gangs, they decide to join forces to uncover the figure behind the deaths and face up to an invisible and supernatural enemy.
A new horde of sharks stalks a hot spring village, this time in the mountains, in the sequel to the riotous Onsen Shark / HotSpring SharkAttack (2024).

Paul and Marie have just moved to a new house in the suburbs with their son, just a few months old. During the housewarming party, their baby disappears.

But her husband begins to suspect that the child she has brought back is not their son.
Airi, a medium who helps lost souls across into the hereafter, is called to an isolated house in the country, where she is faced with a powerful being that challenges everything she thought she knew.

For the first time, her greatest adversary comes not from the spirit world, but from the living.

Three estranged siblings gather in their home village after the death of their father, setting out on a journey to scatter his ashes at his favourite spot alongside a remote river.

Trapped miles from any help and with no phone signal, they soon discover they are surrounded by masked killers who emerge from the woods.

Margot, a brilliant but insecure medical student, struggles to survive the frantic pace of her Emergency Room placement.

As the boundary between her diagnosis and her actual reality becomes blurred, Margot discovers with horror that her body is beginning to replicate the same mysterious illness she is trying to cure.

In 1755, a Franciscan friar, Father Rubís, discovers that the novices at a cloistered convent are suffering from bites and a strange anaemia.
