It is an abandoned outpost town, where a mythical killer, the sadistic Dr Matarga, tortured his patients in the darkness and solitude of the ancient salt mines. Now, it is the focus of Angela, a final year psychiatric student, and her study to disprove the paranormal. Arriving in the remote and crumbling town, the scientific research is derailed when strange phenomena begin to occur. But is what Angela and her student friends are seeing real, are they going mad, or worse still, has the sinister Dr Matarga returned. Terrified and alone, they try to free themselves and flee the town, but nothing they now experience, is quite what it seems. (Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment)

No! Now Spanish creators have also jumped into the septic tank of teenage “horror” mainstream. Spain is certainly not one of the superpowers of this type of soulless sterility, so I’m very disappointed to see something like this coming from there. A derivative story about students going to an abandoned mining town in the country’s backwaters to research about a doctor-psychopath. It had potential, the setting of abandoned towns always works on me, but the way it’s executed is so unoriginal – and not only that, but also uninteresting and bland – that it cannot offer anything horror-wise (at least not for the more experienced viewers). There are a couple of chaste bloody murders, overlit mines, several crazy 3D effects and a predictable twist, the most shocking fact of which is that the creators were serious about it. A waste of time. 3/10
