For your consideration. Let us say that Horror Short Film of the Year were something that was officially awarded by globally recognized group of our peers. Then we say that the honor was awarded to the horror short that accumulated the most festival stops during the year, combined with the most awards, we’re talking volume here. Iván Villamel and Raúl Cerezo’s La Nueva (aka The Newcomer) would certainly make a strong case for being awarded that honor for 2023. So, officially that award doesn’t exist but even in name it is something you have to consider for La Nueva. The short film from the director of Mr. Dentonn and co-written by one of the writer-directors of La Pasajera (The Passenger) and Viejos (The...

The more things change, the more they stay the same for Westworld star James Marsden.
His return to Westworld was confirmed for viewers in episode four, “Generation Loss,” for those who might not have guessed he was the hero from season four’s premiere who flitted from the shadows to save Christina from a panicked, unstable and now dead stalker Peter Myers (Aaron Stanford).
Shepherded to the “sublime” at the end of season two, it looked as if Teddy’s time in the HBO series’ universe had come to an end. But with his return, it seems like Marsden’s fan-favorite character got some kind of sentient upgrade while he was away for season three.
Teddy also retains the same personality as the host Dolores and audiences fell in love with — even seemingly carrying memories from the duo’s potential former lives.
Following Marsden’s return,...

There’s something wrong with senior citizens in The Elderly (Viejos). The record-breaking heat wave has them behaving eerily, and the temperature continues to rise. Filmmakers Raúl Cerezo and Fernando González Gómez, fresh off The Passenger, opt for slow simmering dread in an atmospheric examination of society’s alienation of the elderly. But the restraint and cryptic nature of the horror renders it […]

Road trip movies certainly aren’t new but some have come to define cinema and so it takes something special to stand out from a crowded marketplace. Don’t Make Me Go, the latest from Actor/Director Hannah Marks is a Road Trip movie with a difference, it stars John Cho as Max Park, a single dad who discovers he has a terminal disease and intends to make the most of the time he has left with his daughter Wally, played by Mia Isaac, with whom he has a fractious relationship.
The bulk of the film is dedicated to the pair’s journey across the States to his college reunion, making stops along the way to visit Casinos, dance and bond in both bizarre and heartwarming fashion. As the film unwinds we get to know why Max is perhaps so uptight and protective with his ex-wife Nicole running off with a...

When we shared some of the first images from The Edlerly (Viejos) we were a little ahead of ourselves when we included a teaser poster image. Out of respect for the filmmakers,, Fernando González Gómez and Raúl Cerezo (The Passenger (La pasajera)), and production we pulled that image and waited for the appropriate moment, read permission to share it with you again. With only days seperating us from the horror film's world premiere at Fantasia this Saturday, July 16th that moment is today! The teaser poster features a pair of wild, crazed eyes, likely belonging to Zorion Eguileor who plays Manuel in the film. There is nothing reflecting in the eyes but the darks rings most certainly suggest the influence of the supernatural in this...

Grimmfest, Manchester’s International Festival of Fantastic Film have announced the first wave titles for the 2022 festival – which will be returning to regular venue, The Odeon Great Northern, in Manchester on October 6th – 9th, for four high-impact, fear-filled days of the very best in genre cinema. Check out this opening barrage of international frights:
A young girl, struggling to awake from a coma, navigates the nightmare-freighted world of her own subconscious, in Ryan Stevens Harris’s astonishing steampunk gothic fairy tale, Moon Garden, which evokes the best of Jan Svankmajer and Terry Gilliam, Cronenberg and Clive Barker, for an emotionally charged, deeply personal narrative of redemption and renewal, that will enchant and haunt in equal measure. Grimmfest are thrilled to be hosting the film’s international premiere.
An international premiere, too, for Scott Slone’s whip-smart, genre-savvy reinvention of the perennially popular Paranormal Investigation Found Footage trope, Malibu Horror Story.

Madrid is in the throes of a brutal heat wave. An elderly woman jumps off a balcony and lies bleeding on the street below. Her widower claims a magnetic energy drove her to her suicide. His son moves him to their flat to take better care of him despite his wife’s protests, who fears the worst. Only his teenage granddaughter seems to feel real empathy for him. Thus begins “Viejos” where a mounting sense of dread pervades the atmosphere and the temperatures in Madrid rise to ominous levels.
Shot over six weeks between Madrid and the Navarra region, “Viejos” is the second joint outing by directors Raúl Cerezo and Fernando González Gómez whose previous film, “La Pasajera,” sold to Dark Star in the U.S. and more than 25 territories. “Viejos” vies for the top prize in the prominent Cheval Noir section of Montreal’s 26th Fantasia Int’l Film Festival.

They will soon understand that to save their lives they must abide by...

Produced by Jose Luis Rancaño (“The Night My Mother Killed My Father”), “The Passenger” follows a group of strangers on a road trip who get abruptly interrupted when their van accidentally hits a female hiker in the middle of the night.
