PussyCake was certainly one of the more gonzo films to do the film festival circuit this year. But as the latest film from Argentinian director Pablo Parés who also gave us the Plaga Zombie trilogy and I Am Toxic should we expect anything less?
The title refers to the all girl punk rock band PussyCake, singer Elle, Sara (Aldana Ruberto), who is the drummer and Elle’s girlfriend, bassist Sofi and guitarist Juli (Sofía Rossi). There’s also their manager Pato (Flor Moreno; The Talking Guts) who is hoping to hook up with Simón at the band’s upcoming gig, a record company showcase no less.
So, they hop in the van and make the trip to the gig. But when they reach their destination, on foot because something fried the van’s engine,...

Barcelona — Projects “Deus Irae,” “The Occupant,” “9 Steps’ and ‘Fiesta” won prizes at the 4th Sitges Pitchbox, hosted by Spain’s Sitges Fantastic Film Festival in partnership with online platform Filmarket Hub and godfathered this year by Ron Perlman. Awards were announced Friday Oct. 5.
“Deus Irae” aims to be the feature debut of Argentine Pedro Cristiani, a co-writer of the acclaimed sci-fi short “Moebius.” A supernatural thriller and a follow-up to Cristiani’s short of the same name, “Deus Irae” follows Father Javier whose mandate is to examine and explain alleged miracles and Satanic events.
According to Cristiani, “the horror elements are explicit, but the visual treatment enhances its monstrous beauty.” Creature design is inspired by the creations of Dante Alighieri, Hieronymus Bosch and Francis Bacon.
The first 26 minutes are already produced and the film expected to be completed in Argentina. It is backed by Cristiani, Simon Ratziel and Guido Volpi,...

Welcome to the third installment of my ongoing series of articles that collects great horror short films.
If you have not already done so, please check out the first two installments of this series “Watch 15 Great Horror Short Films” and its follow-up “Watch 13 More Great Horror Short Films” not only because you’ll love them but also because films and filmmakers mentioned in those articles are referenced in this one.
Short form horror aficionados will also want to check out a recent article I wrote called “The Greatest Horror Anthology Film Segments of All Time”.
As you readers know, the horror short film is an artistic endeavor that can serve as a film industry calling card. A perfect example of this is the recent announcement of the feature film version of Can Evrenol’s superb horror short Baskin.
Combine successes like that with the very strong film festival presence of...
