A reality TV crew are filming in a Barcelona fire station when an emergency call comes through from a block of flats.

An elderly lady is screaming the place down but no-one can get to her.

That something horrendous is happening is evident from the way the authorities throw a cordon round the area.

Directors Balaguero and Plaza clearly had zip in the way of euros to work with, but their verve and imagination produces a Blair Witch-style nerve-shredder.
