The Ancines Woods
Directed by Pedro Olea
Produced by Amboto
A dark, paranoid period horror film that blurs the line between superstition and reality as a vulnerable outsider becomes the target of a community's fear and suspicion.
Benito Freire, a pedlar in a small village in northern Spain suffers from epileptic seizures and rumours start to spread that he may be a werewolf and responsible for a series of killings. The local Abbot is called upon to form a team to investigate, in an effort to halt the harrowing murders.
