A TV crew alongside a medium, a friar and a killer with regrets spend the night inside a haunted hotel where a guy murdered prostitutes in the 1950’s. Soon they discover the place is really haunted, the friar is possessed by an evil force beginning a new massacre.
Probably the nastiest offering of this year’s Spectober lineup, LAS NUEVE CARAS DEL MIEDO is sorely underseen and ahead of its time stylistically – blending “true-crime” storytelling with a supernatural slasher (some online have compared it to a cross between GHOSTWATCH (1992) and an episode of the X-files).
Featuring a cast of mostly reprehensible people dying in increasingly gnarly ways, this movie has a surprising amount of bile. Viewers be warned!
