aka El poder de las tinieblas

Poster of The Power of Darkness

The Power of Darkness (1979) follows a man who becomes convinced that a global conspiracy of blind people is secretly organizing against the sighted. As he struggles to convince others of his discovery, he retreats into darkness—both physical and psychological—writing a report in case his warnings lead to his own undoing. This mystery-thriller blends paranoia, existential dread, and political allegory in a haunting meditation on power, perception, and fear.
