Play Dead
 

Horror fans should prepare for a nightmarish experience with Play Dead, the latest terrifying film from director Carlos Goitia. With a screenplay by Gonzalo Mellid and Camilo Zaffora, the film throws viewers into a relentless survival story where death might not be the worst fate. Produced by Nicolás Onetti, known for his work on What the Waters Left Behind, this film promises an unflinching descent into terror. 

Play Dead stars Paula Brasca, Catalina Motto, Luca Espindola, and a talented ensemble cast who bring this chilling tale to life.

The story follows Alison, played by Paula Brasca, who wakes up badly injured in a dark and cryptic basement. She quickly realises she is surrounded by corpses and must use every ounce of her wits to avoid the same fate. 

With no way out, she makes the desperate choice to play dead, hoping to blend in and escape unnoticed. But as she listens to the horrors unfolding above her, she discovers a disturbing ritual is taking place. The more she learns, the clearer it becomes that she is in unimaginable danger. 

Drawing inspiration from horror classics like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Don’t Breathe, and The Collector, Play Dead delivers a relentless mix of suspense and gruesome horror. The film’s claustrophobic setting and visceral tension make it a terrifying watch, ensuring audiences will be on edge from start to finish.
