Anorexic teen Claudia (Martha Higareda) is admitted to a private treatment center (you know the kind: big haunted house in the middle of the woods) after two suicide attempts. The handful of girls there are a typically unruly bunch except for introspective Josefina (Danny Perea) who is on her second stay the center. When Claudia notices scratches on the insides of Josefina’s legs in the locker room, she advises Josefina to tell the center's strict director Dr. Bernarda (Veronica Langer) but Josefina insists that “no one can stop Andrea.” Claudia learns from Dr. Lucia (Monica Dionne) that Josefina is on her second stay at the center and that the first time she became friends with a girl named Andrea who hanged herself in the center’s locked-off tower. When the other girls learn of Andrea's existence (and one actually sees her apparition), they decide to hold a seance at the same moment that Claudia has escaped from her room and made her way into the tower.

Co-writer/director Gustavo Moheno's remake of late, underrated director Carlos Enrique Taboada (whose exquisite LIBRO DE PIEDRA has also just been remade) doesn't hold a candle to the original. Despite the relatively restrained supernatural tone and some likable if not exactly sympathetic young female characters, the script is a mess and the ghost neither evokes fear nor pity. In Taboada's original film, Marga Lopez's dragon headmistress (quite a contrast to her concerned protagonist in LIBRO DE PIEDRA) is even more terrifying than the ghost but the equivalent character in the remake is more bland and pathetic than loathsome (and a more sympathetic adult character's motives have been made suspect by making certain aspects of the original film more blatant). As a remake, not particularly good. As a standalone horror film, it's rent-worthy but forgettable (though certainly less insulting than much of its American contemporaries).
