Dir. Adrian Garcia Bogliano / Costa Rica / 92 min / 2010
Whilst on a job three robbers murder a woman who before dying put an evil curse on them.
The hideout for their loot is an old crumbling house, whose owners have just made a pact with a stranger who handed to them a talisman imbued with powers.
Coincidence, or fate?
In the house the grip of black magic and the powerful talisman collide with horrifying consequences. Proving the dictum: “Beware of what you wish for: you may just get it.”
" From the first moment we are already that we are completely gripped in the suspenseful story "
