Now Playing Synopsis: An embittered concierge at a Barcelona apartment building plots to make one happy-go-lucky resident completely miserable in this psychological thriller from [REC] and [REC 2] co-screenwriter/co-director Jaume Balagueró. Marcos (Alberto San Juan) is a wretched man who subsists on the pain of others. Though the residents rarely take notice of him, Marcos furtively observes every intimate detail of their lives, seething at the first signs of optimism and cheerfulness. Carefree tenant Clara King (Marta Etura) is far too perky for Marcos; the happier she gets, the deeper her doorman sinks into despair. In order for him to be happy, Marcos realizes, Clara will have to suffer. Though at first Marcos' plan to torment Clara from afar goes off without a hitch, things start to fall apart when the scheming doorman gets too confident for his own good. Just as Clara begins to suspect that her curious bad-luck streak may be coming to an end, however, Marcos summons all of his strength and resentment to deliver one last devastating blow. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Luis Tosar, Marta Etura, Alberto San Juan, Iris Almeida, Petra Martínez, Carlos Lasarte, Margarita Roset Movie Details

Now Playing Synopsis: Argentinean filmmaking duo Adrián and Ramiro García Bogliano follow up their 2010 debut Cold Sweat with this slow-burning thriller concerning a ruthless businesswoman who encounters a murderous cult while attempting to rent out a dilapidated Buenos Aires apartment. Marga (Cristina Brondo) is a successful entrepreneur from Barcelona with little patience for the people of Buenos Aires. She's in the capital city to find a new tenant for her family's crumbling apartment as the locals eagerly await the solar eclipse scheduled to occur later that day. Crossing paths with smooth-talking real-estate agent Jorge as she waits impatiently for a prospective lessee, Marga is taken aback when he claims to have a client who gladly will pay four times her advertised rental rate if the paperwork can be handled posthaste. But as the skies begin to dim, Jorge's associates begin filing into the building with an unmistakable sense of purpose. Something ominous is unfolding right before Marga's eyes, and by the time the moon moves into position, a shocking ceremony signals a coming darkness that could consume the entire world. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Cristina Brondo, Camila Bordonaba, Sebastian Muniz, Mirella Pascual, Diego Cremonesi, Victoria Witemburg, Omar Gioiosa, Maria Nela Sinisterra, Gustavo Garzon, Arnaldo André Movie Details Play Trailer
