The Squad
Director: Jaime Osorio Marquez
Actors: Juan Pablo Barragán, Alejandro Aguilar, Mauricio Navas
PlotA group of elite commandos is sent on a mission to investigate a remote and abandoned military outpost in the Colombian mountains. Upon arrival, the squad discovers unsettling evidence of a violent struggle and strange occult symbols. The tension within the team escalates as they find no trace of the missing soldiers who previously occupied the outpost. Their radio and other means of communication malfunction, intensifying their isolation. As they explore further, each member experiences inexplicable phenomena, and the psychological strain starts to fracture their unit.
The environment grows increasingly hostile as distrust and paranoia take hold of the commandos, each man haunted by his personal demons. With supplies dwindling and no signs of rescue, the team's unity disintegrates under the weight of fear and uncertainty. Confronted with both internal conflicts and an unseen external threat, they face a descent into chaos that brings their already fragile mission to a perilous tipping point.
