Thesis
My name is Ángela. They're going to kill me.
Directed by Alejandro Amenábar
Produced by Las Producciones del Escorpión
A visceral, paranoia-soaked thriller about a film student whose academic investigation into violence becomes a nightmare when she discovers she's being hunted by the killers she's studying.
While working on a thesis about audiovisual violence, film student Ángela finds a snuff video where a girl is tortured until death. Soon she discovers that she was a former student in her university, and that the authors of the video are not very far either.
