Spectre - Peliculas para no dormir


Regreso a Moira (Spectre, 75 min)
Seen on the 22nd April 2008

A series of short Spanish terror films under the name of "Peliculas para no dormir", Spectre or Regreso a Moira is the first deliver. Tomas lives a marriage plagued with memories from his early youth or late teens. Growing up in Franco's Spain, religion intolerance and sleepy town gossips seem to be the normal context for him. Later in life, he returns to the same town but at least 40 years later after his wife Greta dies.

He starts remembering the time when in his village the rumour of a witch performing black magic on the hills spreads around. Soon it is clear his relationship with Greta has been overshadowed by a mysterious pact and the proof of this is a card that he's had in his hands all this time. His closest friends seem to remember something shameful surrounding Tomas life and marriage. Did he see the Devil. Did he played with fire..
