Sinopsis(1)
Mientras hace jogging por el bosque, Johanna es atacada por un psicópata armado con un taladro. Pero pese al agujero que este le hace en el cráneo, ella no parece haber muerto. Al menos, no del todo: Johanna vuelve a casa y se sienta frente a su ordenador para escribir una desesperada súplica de ayuda, mientras por sus mejillas se derraman lágrimas de un líquido negro parecido al petróleo. Las agresiones se suceden por toda la ciudad y pronto serán muchos los zombies autistas descomponiéndose frente a la atónita mirada de sus familias. (Sitges Film Festival)

I’m not used to giving more than two stars to this type of low budget jokes, but I’m making an exception this time. Sod the script and the cheap visuals! The film excels in the atmosphere, especially in the first and the last act. At the beginning it looks like some sort of crude thriller about maniacs who don’t kill their victims directly, but put them into a… very passive state. The second act mostly follows the investigation of the father of one of the victims and it’s the weakest, it doesn’t deliver anything very memorable and has plenty of holes in the logic. The third act unravels things pretty interestingly, has a thick atmosphere and even some truly tense and scary scenes (and I don’t mean at a “semi amateur movie standard”). The authors probably got their inspiration in the mythology of the X-Files, which I can’t blame. It’s nice to see low budget creators aware of their limitations and who don’t try to make something they don’t have enough resources for (for comparison, we have the recent low budget catastrophe from Sweden Blood Runs Cold). This makes Dark Souls nice to watch, even though it’s clear that it didn’t cost much. Thumbs up and keep an eye on the directors, if they get some money, we can expect good things from them.
