Black Mandala presents: HIDDEN IN THE DARK (2025)
Black Mandala presents the psychological horror film HIDDEN IN THE DARK, directed by Kristian Gatto. A young woman haunted by the past. A clinic that promises healing, but harbors unspeakable secrets. Memory and survival spiral into a chilling descent.
Deep in the remote mountains, a reclusive hospital resident conceals a disturbing gift: the ability to feel emotions and past events embedded in places and objects. Her power once made her an invaluable asset to the police, but when she fails to locate a missing girl, the guilt consumes her.
Desperate for peace, Maya agrees to undergo an experimental treatment. Instead, she finds herself trapped in a sinister facility. There, she meets Gabriel, a mysterious psychiatrist with his own agenda- who forces her to question everything and sets her on a path to escape… or madness.
