La Raíz del Mal

Natalia and Daniel, a young professional couple, are expecting their first child and face a series of paranormal events. These are triggered when the couple finds a story Daniel wrote in his teens. The terrifying events begin to drive them apart, until Natalia and Daniel discover that the fictional story they found is only an expression of the reality they are living—past and present. Daniel drastically decides to put an end to the curse that hangs over them, unwittingly falling into a new circle of destiny, where they will be consumed by the ghosts of their past.

Directed by Andrés Heidenreich, La Raíz del Mal leans on a strong ensemble — Noelia Campos, Freddy Viquez, Melvin Jimenez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2024.
