- Synopsis
- El Duende is a psychological horror steeped in Latin American mythology. A successful artist orphaned at a young age returns to her native Colombia with her eight-year-old son and husband to rebuild their lives after infidelity shatters their family. Surrounded by lush forest, the family’s dream of building an eco-lodge is derailed when they mistake a shrine to El Duende for a junk heap and burn it. El Duende begins to terrorize her and stalk her son. With her husband refusing to believe their misfortune is due to a mythical creature, she confronts her own fears and draws from her mysticism and intuition - gifts she has long forsaken – to save her family and free herself from a lifetime of grief, guilt, and convention.
