You just know its all going to end badly, when a horror thriller gets a name like Tranquility Valley, and Spanish director Xavi Giménez is set to take us there next year. His second project as director for movie house Filmax (responsible of course for “[REC]”), Giménez has previously worked as Cinematographer on some big names in Spanish genre Cinema - including 'The Machinist' and 'Transsiberian' - so he’s well placed to deliver the goods. Starring; Marcel Borrás, Adolfo Fernández, Fernando Guillén Cuervo and Eduardo Farelo Tranquility is tipped as “a disturbing thriller about a re-education centre, which promises to reintegrate difficult youths back into society, through very controversial methods.”

Synopsis: Louis doesn't know what to do with his sixteen year old son Frank. He's drinking, smoking dope, getting into trouble sometimes not even coming home at night. Louis is desperate; he has to do something with him, and now! Frank is abruptly awoken by two men gripping him tightly. His father is standing in the room. ‘It's for your own good' he says. Frank is dragged outside and off into a waiting car. During the long night drive Frank's imagination runs wild, where is he being taken? Finally the car turns off the road, through the window he sees a large and attractive estate isolated in the middle of the countryside, it doesn't seem quite so bad after all. This is Tranquillity Valley.
