Black Mandala, who has brought you films like What the Waters Left Behind and its sequel, presents the trailer for the haunting psychological horror film Hidden in the Dark, directed by Kristian Gatto.

 

A Chilling Premise

 

This chilling descent into memory and madness follows a young woman haunted by her past. She seeks healing at a remote clinic that harbors unspeakable secrets.

Deep in the remote mountains, a reclusive woman named Maya possesses a disturbing psychic gift: the ability to feel emotions and past events embedded in places and objects, known as a “retrocog”. Once an invaluable asset to the police, her power becomes a curse after she fails to locate a missing girl, leaving her consumed by guilt.

Desperate for solace, Maya agrees to undergo an experimental treatment. Instead of finding peace, she awakens to find herself trapped in a sinister facility. There, she encounters Gabriel, a mysterious psychiatrist with a dark agenda, who forces her to question everything she thought she knew. Maya is now on a terrifying path to either escape or madness.

 

The Talent Behind the Film

 

The cast includes Donka Avramova, Marco Benedetti, Velizar Binev, Charita Cecamore, and Borislav Chouchkov. The music is composed by Francesco Marzola, who also serves as the producer.

Hidden in the Dark is set to debut later this year. In the meantime, check out the new trailer.
