Rapture (Arrebato) is a 1979 Spanish cult supernatural mystery that offers a deeply unnerving, atmospheric experience despite some longueurs and dated acting. The film carries significance as an influential work that shaped Pedro Almodóvar's filmmaking approach—Almodóvar himself provided voice-over work for a female character—with its themes of cinephilia, double narratives, queer euphoria and extended flashbacks echoing throughout his later career.

The film follows José, a struggling horror film director battling heroin addiction, played by Eusebio Poncela alongside Cecilia Roth as his co-dependent partner Ana. When José encounters his eccentric cousin Pedro, a fellow addict who channels his obsession into making increasingly surreal Super 8 films—including bizarre time-lapse footage of himself sleeping—he recognises a kindred spirit consumed by what Pedro calls "rapture": the euphoric sensation of filming that temporarily cancels out addiction's agony. Functioning as both a vampire film and an addiction narrative, Rapture explores the "sublime yet unwholesome" experience of total cinematic immersion, with most conventional scares reserved for the final five minutes, though disturbing imagery—including a red-eyed Betty Boop doll and an erect penis paired with burning cigarette ash—punctuates the uncanny atmosphere.
