The selection for the second edition of Blood Window gathers six very different productions from five countries.
One of them comes from Ecuador, a country not much prone to genre films: Sed, by Joe Houlberg. A film of unwholesome atmosphere, where a blind young woman and her friends will have to face their ghosts and their most hidden desires.
From Argentina will be there Testigo íntimo, by Santiago Fernández Calvete. A thriller, more than a horror movie, where the fight of two brothers for the same woman will lead to a bloody ending where nothing is what it seems.
From Brazil comes a sketch film, As fábulas negras, dark, dirty, full of references and love the genre films, as it couldn’t be other way, keeping in mind that among its producers is Rodrigo Aragao (from whom in this same section last year his film Mar Muerto was selected) and the legendary José Mojica Marins. The group of directors is completed by Petter Belestorf and Joel Caetano.
At last, there are three selected films from Mexico. Luna de miel, by Diego Cohen, is the story of an obsession, the story of a man who will do whatever it takes to make a young woman to love him without conditions. Los parecidos, by Isaac Ezban, an in-depth view of an apocalyptic Mexico in natural and political terms, depicts the fear of the other in a very original way. Finally, Scherzo diabólico, by Adrián García Bogliano, promises an interesting, and not conventional at all, confrontation between a teenage girl and the man who kidnapped her.
