The year is 1961. Jackie Bumbry has a black eye. Her house is full of police officers. Her husband, Terry, is being spoken to in the other room. A family counselor is brought in to speak with Jackie about her relationship with her husband - and how she is white and he is black. But all Mrs. Bumbry wants to talk about is the strange lights she and her husband saw last night.

『ブレイド2』や超大作『ヘルボーイ』の成功でハリウッドでも注目を集めるメキシコの異才、ギレルモ・デル・トロ監督がスペインに招かれて撮ったホラー映画。激情型の男を演じたスペインのビッグスター、『オープン・ユア・アイズ』のエドゥアルド・ノリエガや、新星フェルナンド・ティエルブの熱演も見ものだ。ヨーロッパの血塗られた歴史と風土に培われた、怨念のすさまじさが霊を生息させ、さらに恐怖の結末を招く。
