The Inner Flame

2025 · 73 min

A slow, disorienting plunge into dream logic and quiet dread, where every conversation feels like a riddle and the house itself seems to watch.

Directed by: Cristián Sánchez
Genres: Fantasy, Mystery
Starring: Luciana Echeverría, Luis Dubó, Constanza Quinteros

Overview: A filmmaker arrives at the house where a friend disappeared. She inquires about her with a man who holds a candle in his hand; with an acolyte who enters people’s dreams; with a forgetful woman, with a denier, and manages to escape the seduction of a satanic group, but is captivated by a demon.
