Synopsis
The Devil's Backbone
Spain, 1939. In the last days of the Spanish Civil War, the young Carlos arrives at the Santa Lucía orphanage, where he will make friends and enemies as he follows the quiet footsteps of a mysterious presence eager for revenge.
The Nice Ones
When Kate joins her boyfriend’s friends at a remote countryside retreat, old wounds resurface as strange lights appear in the sky. As unease grows, members of the group begin to change—becoming unnervingly calm, kind, and “nice.” Dismissed as unstable, Kate struggles to convince the others something is wrong before the force behind it spreads.
