Huesera: The Bone Woman star Natalia Solián finds herself dealing with one creepy night shift in the trailer for Torment (Tormento), an indie supernatural thriller currently making an impressive showing at the Mexican box office.
Olallo Rubio, considered one of Mexico’s most influential podcasters and an established documentary filmmaker, writes and directs Torment.
Torment was released in theaters in Mexico on November 13, where it opened to fourth place at the box office and now stands as the second-best Mexican horror debut of 2025, behind only Blumhouse’s first Mexican original horror movie, No Me Sigas.
In the film, Solián stars as an exhausted security guard who’s transferred to a morgue. On the first night shift, the guard is confronted by demons- both of the supernatural and personal variety.
It’s “a nightmare in a nightmare, the storm described in a realist mode which is not so common in U.S. genre movies,“ Rubio told CNN en Español. “If Natalia hadn’t accepted this character, I would have shelved the project. There are actors who act emotions and others who feel these emotions, and Natalia is one of those performers. It feels psychologically dangerous, but Natalia is like that.“
Based on the original 2019 movie Morgue by Hugo J. Cardozo, Torment also stars Hoze Meléndez, Fernando Banda, and Dolores Espinoza. The film was produced by BH5 Studios, distributed by Videocine, and is represented internationally by FilmSharks.
Watch the trailer below, along with images and a poster, which introduces a single-location thriller filled with eerie shadows and a menacing figure that torments a fatigued insomniac.
Stay tuned for more on Torment as we await US release details.
