The story follows Rebeca, a nurse with a history of domestic abuse, as she begins working the night shift in a quiet hospital where whispers of the legendary ghost “La Planchada” haunt staff and patients alike. As Rebeca strives to prove herself to her colleagues, she is drawn deeper into the hospital’s chilling mysteries and unsettling occurrences after dark. The film draws on Mexican ghost lore and classic atmospheric terror, blending psychological unease with supernatural threat. Through shadowy hallways and tense interactions with both the living and the spectral, Turno Nocturno explores fear, guilt and isolation in a setting where the past and present feel dangerously intertwined. Produced by Sony Pictures International Productions and EFICINE 189, the movie has screened in festival contexts and rolled out to broader audiences in 2025, with attention continuing into early 2026. With its slow-burn tension and eerie hospital backdrop, Turno Nocturno will appeal to fans of supernatural horror rooted in folklore and psychological fear.
