The premise

A television reporter and cameraman follow emergency workers into a dark apartment building and are quickly locked inside with something terrifying.

Horror Vault's take

When a TV reporter and her cameraman tag along with firefighters on what seems like a routine emergency call to a Barcelona apartment block, the night takes a catastrophic turn. The building is sealed from the outside, trapping everyone inside with a rapidly spreading horror they cannot explain. Shot entirely through the camera's lens, the film transforms a cramped residential stairwell into one of the most suffocating arenas in modern horror. What begins as a zombie-virus nightmare gradually reveals something far darker lurking at its core.
