El Lamento

A road, an accident, a fatal decision are enough for Carlos Luna to change the course of his life completely. Now Carlos Luna has a secret. A secret that begins to reveal itself through strange events that turn his life into a roulette wheel. The police suspect him and what he has done, but the mysterious disappearance of the plane where his wife and daughter were traveling makes him fly to Colombia. There, Carlos will become the toy of his own destiny. Strange apparitions haunt him day and night. His happy life is over, his family is gone, and fear has become his very breath. Carlos Luna has entered a dangerous labyrinth where running away is not an option.

Directed by Juan Camilo Pinzón, El Lamento leans on a strong ensemble — Humberto Zurtia, Marcela Carvajal, Isabel Burr — 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 2016.
