Nightworld is a Bulgarian psychological horror thriller directed by Patricio Valladares and starring Robert Englund and Jason London.
It is the first feature film produced by Open Frames, a subsidiary of Global Group.
[1][2] After he is forced to kill a teenager in self-defense, former LAPD police officer Brett Irlam retires to Bulgaria.
Her suicide sends him into a depression that worries his friend Alex, who suggests he take a security job in Sofia.
The job has only one major responsibility: watching CCTV footage of cameras in a locked warehouse.
Though he occasionally hears strange noises, Brett is more worried about his nightmares, which he sometimes has trouble distinguishing from reality.
Brett meets local café worker Zara, who is surprised the building needs security.
When Martin arrives the next day he is satisfied that the situation is under control and refuses Brett's suggestion that they investigate the warehouse.
Once the guardian dies, Jacob believes the barriers put in place may be weakened enough for powerful entities to enter our world.
[3] Englund had also worked with Curci several times previously, including a big project that fell apart.
[4] Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote that although the film has a "rich, shadowy look", it is mostly "buildup without payoff".
