WikiPedia says: "A Costa Rican Miguel Gomez film premiered on October 29, 2010, presented the urban legend behind the plot Durán Sanatorium, with its similarly titled film "The Sanatorium" using the cinematic technique of the mockumentary .
In it, a group of young film aiming at a home on the site and the mystery behind him come face to face with danger and under attack from the nun's hospital and other spirits that inhabit it.
Everything is told from a perspective of both horror comic as well representing the characteristic choteo Costa Rica, the way the stories of paranormal events are always told with a tinge of comedy in Costa Rica and how angry reaction of the Ticos to a situation that frightens them or frustrated."It was directed by Miguel Gomez.
