Don't Leave the Kids Alone

A routine night out turns deadly when Catalina leaves her sons, Matías and Emiliano, home alone. What begins as carefree play in their new house rapidly curdles into a claustrophobic nightmare. As the hours stretch on in the dark, the siblings’ isolation becomes a trap, transforming the domestic space into a site of dread.

While Catalina struggles with panic from the outside, the true terror resides in the empty rooms and the silence where laughter used to be. The situation escalates from ordinary evening to acute horror, revealing that the most frightening monsters are often the ones that grow in the dark while parents are away. Ana Serradilla anchors the narrative’s rising tension, but the film finds its power in the quiet, creeping dread of an empty home.
