Doctor Helena Jara (Mercč Montalą) wants to prove a theory that
schizophrenia is connected to paranormal phenomena, so she invites five
highly schizophrenic patients (Cląudia Pons, Tąnia Sarrias, Dafnis
Balduz, Ferran Carvajal, Ferran Albiol) of hers and her colleagues to the
most haunted house of the region, where she, paranormal investigator Kram
(Raśl Įlvarez) and nurse Luz (Leyla Rodrķguez) basically just see what
happens. Some interesting things occur, like the fact that Kai (Dafnis
Balduz) can actually see the dead daughter (Miriam Planas) of Celda
(Tąnia Sarrias), whom she so far thougth only she can see, and that the
daughter can actually gradually be brought to let other people into her
mother's life. But then another patient (Ferran Albiol) is caused to have
a heart attack by his dead wife's vicious ghost (Babeth Ripoll), and from
here on all hell breaks loose, as there seems to be a demon in the house,
a demon who's especially after Alinara (Cląudia Pons), the youngest of
the group and a girl with a dark secret. And after Helena and Kram go
M.I.A. and their patients are pretty much left to fend for themselves (the
whole thing's clearly over nurse Luz's head as well) the demon sucks up
Alinara - and now the others, who have all grown fond of the girl, have to
figure out a way to get her back, at no matter what cost ... Psychophony
is a very nice little ghost story, not so much because it has anything new
to add to the genre (to be honest, it hasn't), but because it tells its
story character-based rather than as a hanger for special effects
overkill, it allows itself to have heart rather than cynicism, and still
features enough shocks and scares to work as a horror movie. And a very
competent cast of course doesn't hurt all that much, either. Sure, on
closer analysis, not all in this film makes perfect sense, but as long as
you watch the movie, the plot flows very well, and the whole thing manages
to entertain you throughout. Very nice!
