The premise
Aram is a wearied accountant with an unbearably dull existence. With a nagging wife who berates him for not being assertive enough, and a measly paycheck, he quietly suffers while awaiting a long-deserved promotion. But there's more to Aram than his mild-mannered demeanor lets on: he has been secretly devising a scheme to finally get what he feels he is owed. One day he asserts his power menacingly when he kidnaps a schoolgirl and keeps her tied up in an abandoned warehouse. What seems like the perfect plan soon unravels into his worst nightmare, and his carefully constructed scheme comes crashing down piece by bloody piece.
Horror Vault's take
Aram is a meek, overlooked accountant whose simmering resentment finally boils over into a desperate and disturbing act — kidnapping a young girl in a bid to seize the control his life has always denied him. What he imagines as a bold, carefully laid plan quickly spirals into a darkly comedic nightmare of escalating chaos and bloody consequences. This Mexican horror-comedy walks a razor-thin line between cringe-inducing laughs and genuine menace, rooting its tension in the pathetic grandiosity of its would-be villain. Fans of pitch-black comedy with a violent edge will find plenty to squirm — and snicker — about.
