Private Project

Dark Fears

Martín is the leader of a gang of kidnappers who, pressed for
the health of his son, decides to kidnap a wealthy young
woman who lives with her father. When they ask for the
ransom, they discover that he has disappeared.

While Javier, Martín's brother, faces the search for the father,
Martín and the rest of the gang try to obtain information from
the young woman at any cost.

Soon inexplicable events begin to occur and what seemed
like a simple job quickly turns into a nightmare where each member of the band must fight to survive their worst fears.

Director Statement

DARK FEARS seeks to project the darkest corners of the mind, that place where our lowest and irrational feelings inhabit. Without realizing it, they take over our world and eventually corrode us.

The fact of having lived for several years with an anxiety disorder such as agoraphobia, which is the fear of fear, allowed me to relate in a different way with that feeling we all have. I have put a magnifying glass on it during those years and learned a lot. From that learning this story is born, as a need to show how many times without realizing it we are prisoners of our own fears.
