A monster game animator saved a neighbor's little boy in an accidental fire, and his hidden evil thoughts were awakened in a sudden panic. Spanish director Carlos Belmoud's new film, written and directed by himself, is good at psychological thrillers, moving the narrative routines of classic werewolf movies to the lives of modern ordinary people, showing the hero's desperate struggle trapped in moral taboos. The film uses a long shot to play the silent interpreter, gradually presents the dark and distorted psychological activities of the protagonist with zero soundtrack, and sets off the image of the monster in the game animation with the "black painting" of the master painting Francesco Goya. Won four nominations for Best Director and Best Actor in the Spanish Goya Award in 2023.
