ABOUT THE FILM
CANADIAN PREMIERE
Rooted in the chilling Galician legend of the Santa Compaña — a spectral procession of the dead — They Always Come at Night is an atmospheric Spanish folk-horror tale in which history itself comes knocking.
Galicia, 1976. On All Souls’ Night, a tense family gathering at an isolated country house is interrupted by frantic calls from a neighbour who insists that hooded figures are emerging from the mist. When the procession descends from the woods and the evening becomes a ritualistic siege, a dark secret buried since the Spanish Civil War resurfaces to collect a long-overdue debt.
Set in the uneasy aftermath of Franco’s dictatorship, Víctor Català’s haunting feature debut combines supernatural terror, historical reckoning and suffocating domestic tension to confront the guilt one generation leaves behind for the next. The film will make its Canadian premiere at VHS.
The Canadian Short Film Daddy Lazarus by Pablo Escobar Tuduri will screen before.
