Brazilian splatter master Rodrigo Aragão released today a new trailer for Mar Negro (Black Sea), his third low budget gorefest in five years. It is his biggest production to date and it sure looks to follow the fun and mayhem of the other films of his so-called "eco-horror trilogy": Mud Zombies (2008) and The Night of the Chupacabras (2011). Aragão brought his big guns this time and the trailer shows some very impressive makeup effects designed and executed by the director himself. Here's the official synopsis: A strange contamination strikes a fisherman's village. When fish and shellfish become evil creatures that transmit death and destruction, the lonely Albino risks his soul for the love of his life, in a desperate fight for survival. Despite being...

Having helmed his second movie The Night of the Chupacabras in 2011, Brazilian director Rodrigo Aragão follows up his debut feature film, Mangue Negro (aka Mud Zombies) with another flick in the Negro series, The Black Sea (aka Mar Negro, which literally translates as Dark Sea) which sees an ocean-based contaminant, “a mysterious Black Spot” which turns fish and crustaceans into sea monsters and people into blood-dripping zombies…
A strange black spot approaches the coast, bringing death and destruction to a fishing village. In a desperate flight to escape the chaos, lonely Albino fights for the great love of his life at the risk of his own soul.
