A boy keeps having visions of murder and death. He doesn't know if he's doing these terrible acts himself or whether they're just nightmarish visions.
Sebastián (Christian Borromeo) is a pretty messed up kid. He keeps having visions of death.
This has made him a loner and misfit.
He has a creepy relationship with his mother (Helga Liné). He obviously lusts after her, and she obviously knows and promotes it.
Julia (Berta Cabré) tries to include him at school.
He takes her up a tower and attacks her.
She falls to her death.
She's definitely dead, but did he really do it? Or was this another lucid vision?
He has dinner with his brother and his hot girlfriend...
Angie (Alexandra Bastedo)
Every time he has a vision, he bleeds.
A nice gratuitous topless scene from Alexandra Bastedo.
Whoa. Back to back unrelated topless scenes.
Angie talks with Olga (Irene Gutiérrez Caba) who warns her. She is in touch with the supernatural.
Sebastian "sees" his brother José die, and indeed he does die in a car accident.
Ol Olga goes into a trance.
Angie asks what's the matter. Olga sees shit surrounding the boy, Sebastian.
Angie meets with Sebastian, and he shares his problems with her.
Sebastian has a vision of Julia (Berta Cabré) and his brother as corpses.
Pretty horrifying.
Olga puts Sebastian under hypnosis to get in touch with his past life.
Sebastian is led to this old abandoned manor - where he lived in a past life.
Angie surprises him by showing up.
Sebastian finds a picture of the girl in his visions - another girl named Julia (Virginie Blavier)
Angie stays by his side.
Whether real or imagined, Sebastian sees Julia (Virginie Blavier) by his bedside.
He's back in 1830.
Julia takes a bath.
Sebastian walks down the hall with an ax, killing anyone in his way.
He comes after Julia.
It's hard to see with the steam and the fuzzy filter lens, but he hacks the hell out of her.
When Sebastian comes to, back in 1980, he finds Angie is dead.
He shatters the mirror with his mind. THE END
Much better than I thought it was going to be. It really sets a dark and uneasy vibe, with some genuinely chilling moments.
Double Feature: Reincarnation shit was the rage in the seventies through the early eighties. So, you had indirect reincarnation films dealing with past lives like The Shining, or you had The Reincarnation of Peter Proud (1975) which is basically the same as this film, and would make a great double bill.
★★★★★★★☆☆☆
