Lauded as one of the best debut films in years, THESIS is a gripping Hitchcockian thriller that delves into the dark side of human curiosity and the macabre allure of snuff films.
THESIS (aka Tesis) is the directorial debut from award-winning Alejandro Amenábar (Open Your Eyes) and features early performances from Spanish icons Ana Torrent, Fele Martinez and Eduardo Noriega.
Angela, a film student, is working on her thesis about audiovisual violence. While researching, she discovers a hidden tape that appears to be a real snuff film, depicting the brutal murder of a young woman. Intrigued and horrified, Angela teams up with Chema, a fellow student with a penchant for horror films and the macabre, to investigate the origins of the tape. As they delve deeper, the investigation quickly turns perilous, as the pair find themselves entangled in a dangerous web of secrecy and murder, putting their lives at risk as they get closer to the truth.
