99.9 (Spanish; Castilian: '''99.9: La frecuencia del terror'''|lit=99.9: The Frequency of Terror|links=no) is a 1997 Spanish horror film directed and co-written by Agustí Villaronga. The film stars María Barranco as Lara, the host of a radio show focused on psychic and paranormal phenomena, who learns that her ex-boyfriend has been found dead in a small Spanish village. When she travels to the village, she discovers that he had been performing experiments to connect with otherworldly spirits. The film's title has been described as referring to both the dial of a radio station and as an inversion of "666" (the "number of the beast").[1]
