Three women. Three timelines. Three continents. And one chilling wail that echoes through their lives. Andrea, Camila, and Marie have never met, but each is haunted by a cry they can’t escape. "The Wailing" is a psychological horror rooted in ancestral trauma — an eerie web of past and present, seen and unseen. Martín-Calero’s debut is atmospheric, quietly terrifying, and deeply human.
Fun fact: The film won the Silver Shell for Best Director at the 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival — a rare honor for a debut feature.
Pedro Martín-Calero is a Spanish director known for his award-winning work in music videos and advertising. "El llanto" marks his feature-length debut, praised for its striking visuals, atmospheric horror, and multilayered storytelling.
