Animas

Animas (Ánimas, 2018) is a Spanish psychological horror you can watch online on iFILM, co-directed by Laura Alvea and José F. Ortuño, with Clare Durant and Iván Pellicer in the lead roles.

Álex and Abraham are the kind of close friends who share the things they don't tell anyone else. Abraham is withdrawn, bruised by his home life. Álex holds the friendship together by force of will. When Abraham's father dies under circumstances nobody can explain, grief starts curdling into something stranger. Álex begins seeing figures that shouldn't be there, slipping between memories that aren't hers, losing her grip on what is real. The tagline says a teenage mind is a terrifying place — and this film commits to that idea without blinking.

Part coming-of-age drama, part slow-burn dread: Animas works best when it stays in the in-between, unsettled and unexplained. Stream Animas (2018) online on iFILM.
