A movie poster for 'Amigo' directed by Óscar Martín with a black and white illustration of a hand holding a red bell, and the title written upside down at the bottom.

Winner of 25 genre festival awards worldwide, Amigo is a darkly comic psychological thriller depicting a bitter power struggle between two best friends.

Following a car accident that kills his wife and leaves his best friend David (David Pareja) with nothing but a scratch, Javi (Javier Botet, REC, Crimson Peak) is left bedridden. His body bears deep gashes, his lungs are filled with fluid that make talking painful and near impossible, his legs are inoperable. From scene one, we see the dynamic at play between the two survivors. David carries Javi into the house. They are fresh from the hospital, and David assures Javi that he will be there to care for him.

But... something is not right. Javi does not want David’s help. David starts noticing things out of place. He starts suspecting Javi of gaslighting him, despite the fact that Javi can barely move of his own volition. In a series of torturous scenes, the power dynamic settles into a disquieting groove. Reaching an aching fever pitch...

Transfixing and deliberately paced Amigo leaves one with an exquisite sense of dread.

A Co-Release with Raven Banner Entertainment.

  • "Amigo keeps the audience on its toes with a gutsy concept that will be shocking or discomfiting for many, and a compelling portrait of insanity, dependence and the fine line between love and hate when trust turns to betrayal."

    Alfonso Rivera

    Cineuropa

  • "Daring, ambitious, disturbing, and fascinating. A psychological thriller with some touches of black comedy (and a hint of gothic terror)."

    Diego Batlle

    Otros Cine

  • "A psychological thriller with excellent performances. An intriguing and often thrilling watch...very unique, with a blend of gritty and cold with surreal and nightmarish."
