Aterrados

This feature film by Rugna — with a large audience turnout in cinemas and positive feedback from international critics — marked a turning point in the current state of Argentine horror cinema. In the film, a neighbourhood is plagued by a series of paranormal events that keep the community on edge. Inside the homes, horror unfolds. Considering the traumatic past experienced by the country during the last civic-military-ecclesiastical dictatorship of the 1970s, the story of Aterrados reveals multiple layers of meaning in the creation of spaces that shift and consume their inhabitants, while life outside continues as normal.

Synopsis: A series of paranormal phenomena shakes a Buenos Aires neighbourhood: disappearances, the undead, mysterious voices, and strange murders occur while a group of investigators tries to find an explanation.
