A Candle for the Devil

In the rural outskirts of Spain lies an unassuming, family-run hotel that becomes anything but ordinary when its owners take it upon themselves to become self-appointed judges and executors of moral codes. The two sisters, devoutly religious and intolerant towards what they perceive as sinful behavior among their female guests, meticulously monitor the actions of their lodgers. When they determine that a guest's conduct falls short of their strict moral standards, they carry out a chilling punishment, resulting in a series of gruesome murders. This haunting tale delves into themes of obsession, intolerance, and the blurred lines between morality and justice, all set against the backdrop of an idyllic Spanish countryside. The film masterfully builds tension as it explores the sisters' motives and the consequences of their actions, ultimately leaving viewers questioning where personal beliefs should end and the law begin.
