US Spanish-language cable net Ultra Film is planning to kick-start the first half of February with a slate of suspense and science fiction featuring a not-so-friendly imaginary friend, bloodthirsty creatures from outer space and a secret solution that breeds aggressive and venomous spiders.

Also featured this month on the network is the tension-filled story of hypnosis that turns bad dreams into a real-life and terrifying nightmare.

The fright-fest begins the first of the month with the premiere of Stevie (Falsa Amistad), where a barren couple adopts a little girl with a seemingly harmless imaginary friend that evolves into a malevolent paranormal presence.

An elite Special Forces unit meanwhile faces multi-tentacle opposition 5 February in Arachnicide (Arácnicidio). When the soldiers are sent to Uganda to bust a vicious drug-growing ring, they discover that the criminals have a mysterious solution that produces horrific poisonous spiders.

And, Ultra Film will also follow the last living humans as they crash-land on a strange world inhabited by flesh-eating aliens and post-apocalyptic beings, with Survivor (Sobrevivientes) debuting 8 Feb.

The 12 February adds another dose of mystery and suspense in Patient Killer (Paciente Asesino), where a psychoanalyst uses hypnosis to help a tormented patient only to open a Pandora’s Box of unexpected and horrifying consequences.
