All of Them Witches

All of them Witches (Sobrenatural) is a 1996 Mexican supernatural thriller by director Daniel Gruener. Based on a screen play by Gabriel González Meléndez, it features Susana Zabaleta, Ricardo Blume, Alejandro Tommasi and Delia Casanova.[1][2] In 1996, this Spanish-language film is a winner of Prieto Mexico's Ariel and Diosa de Plata Awards. The following year it won the Colombia Film Festival Award for best cinematography.[3] The name of this movie matches that of a book of witchcraft that appeared in the 1968 film Rosemary's Baby.[4]

After Dolores (Zabaleta) hears a neighbor being killed, her husband Andres (Tommasi) tries to dispel her fears about gang activity in their apartment building. After he falls asleep, however, she overhears her husband muttering the murdered neighbor's name. Another neighbor, the witch-like Madame Endor (Casanova) warns Dolores that she is in danger and her concerns are then confirmed by her psychiatrist. Dolores begins to believe that disturbing events happening around are the work of the devil.[5]
