Three bandits without a plan, twenty-one hostages with no escape, twenty-four hours of pure horror.

This is the story...

... of Lynx, Buzzard and Toad, three amateur criminals fleeing from a robbery gone wrong.

... of a class of high school students taken hostage during a trip to an abandoned former hospital.

... of the former Boeri sanatorium, which hides layers of cursed stories, buried in its crumbling walls and dark bowels.

... of a girl with an extrasensory power that allows her to perceive Evil.

... of animals and humans transformed into beasts by certain ghosts of the mind and the ferocity of their torturers.

  • A provincial town suspended in a foggy, silent land, and hidden secrets that teem beneath a seemingly peaceful surface.

  • A tense and fast-paced horror-thriller for young people, following in the footsteps of Stephen King, with echoes of the new frontiers of serial horror: Hill House, Marianne; and classic chiller brand cinema: The Shining, The Orphanage and The Others.
