Burga

When the mind is your worst enemy

Directed by Alfredo Contreras

2023117 min6.9 / 10

A claustrophobic psychological horror that weaponizes unreliable perception and institutional paranoia to trap both protagonist and viewer in a maze of doubt.

Elena wakes up in a mental hospital room with no memory of anything. They tell her that she suffers from amnesia and that she suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. However, nothing is what it seems, and Elena will have to find a way to escape from there while fighting to keep her sanity and not confuse hallucinations with reality.
