Evil Sex is a 13-minute horror-comedy that blends the fantastic with dark humor. When the Peñafuerte brothers gather at the mansion of their recently deceased father—an eccentric millionaire—they expect a straightforward reading of the will. Instead, their lawyer reveals a series of bizarre and unsettling conditions they must fulfill in order to claim their inheritance. As the night unfolds, family tensions rise and strange events blur the line between greed, the supernatural, and absurdity. Packed with twisted humor and eerie surprises, Evil Sex delivers a sharp, entertaining tale where inheritance comes at a disturbingly peculiar price.
