Spanish Thriller ‘The Truthers’ (2026) Premieres

The 2026 Spanish drama‑thriller The Truthers, directed by Roger Gual, follows Ruth, who returns to her rural hometown after her mother’s sudden death. Suspicious of the official cause, she probes the mystery together with her estranged father Martin, uncovering a secretive local religious cult and a darker family secret.

Critical response highlights a sluggish pace and thin writing, with reviewers noting the film’s failure to sustain tension or deliver incisive psychological insight. Despite an atmospheric premise, the narrative is described as overly drawn‑out and lacking the sharpness expected of a thriller.
