A found-footage horror film that traps a journalist in a wax museum with a cannibalistic killer, trading psychological depth for visceral dread and paranoid atmosphere.

A young journalist has to spend a night in Barcelona's Wax Museum to investigate paranormal activities. He has no idea Dr. Knox, an insane cannibal surgeon, hides in the museum at night.
