File 253
Directed by Abe Rosenberg Fishbein
A found-footage paranormal investigation into an abandoned psychiatric hospital that trades on institutional dread, missing-person mystery, and ambiguous supernatural threat.
In 2013 a psychiatric clinic which served for more than 50 years caring for patients in Mexico City was demolished. A few months before its demolition, four young men came to investigate the clinic, determined to discover the truth about rumors of strange and paranormal events, recording everything with which they encounter. Today, the whereabouts of these four young men are unknown, remaining only fragments of their recordings.
