They Always Come at Night
Galicia, Spain, 1976. An sinister past slowly but surely creeps into what was meant to be a pleasant family dinner. Bad conscience and a cruel history, the Spanish Civil War and Franco’s dictatorship, simmer beneath the surface. The horror is always lurking but rarely explicit. As in John Carpenter’s The Fog (1980), no one can hide from the misty monsters of the past.
Victor Català announces himself as a filmmaker to watch with his feature debut, with atmospheric cinematography and a colour palette inspired by the 70s. They Always Come at Night is not without humour, but oozes of slow, gothic melancholy and mystery.
