Toxic (2020)

sleepless dreadroad-trip nightmarereality unravels

Overview

Science FictionThriller

In the middle of a mysterious insomnia epidemic that slowly takes on catastrophic dimensions, Laura (39) and Augusto (42) flee the city in their motorhome to get away from the chaos.

The road is depopulating, the silence grows and it is increasingly difficult to differentiate the reality from the dream.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Argentinian genre cinema has been quietly dominating lo-fi apocalypse stories — this joins the camp of 'Aterrados' and 'El Incidente' in using national economic anxiety as horror fuel.

Insight

The 80-minute runtime isn't just budget constraints — it's structural. Herrera calibrated the film to mimic how insomnia collapses time perception, with the middle 40 minutes designed to feel like a single feverish night.
