Our suggestions
On the edge of the Antarctic circle, a young man, Friend, comes to a desolate island poised to take up the post of weather observer. But he finds no trace of the man he has been sent to replace, just a deranged brute in the lighthouse who has witnessed a horror he refuses to name. Friend realizes that something else lurks on the island, when nightly invasions of unknown creatures emerge in the dark from the ocean.
"With an immersive visual and impeccable cinematography, 'Cold Skin' takes us to a lighthouse in a remote island, which is infested with terrifying creatures. Xavier Gens's competent direction ('Hitman: Assassin 47') and Daniel Aranyó's cinematography ('7 Days in Havana') deserve credit for creating a dark atmosphere conducive to terror. In its social criticism subtext, it adds elements of classics like George A. Romero's 'Night of the Living Dead' and the recent 'The Shape of Water'."
