What the Waters Left Behind – original title: Los Olvidados (“The Forgotten”) – is a 2017 Argentine horror film written and directed by Luciano Onetti, Nicolás Onetti (Francesca; Sonno Profondo). It apparently recalls The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes.

Ignoring the warnings, and after a brief tour, they get stranded in the real life ruins. Contrary to what they thought, they begin to realize that they are really not alone…
