Ha finalizado el rodaje de “Subsuelo”, el thriller psicológico de Fernando Franco basado en la novela homónima de Marcelo Luján.

“Subsuelo” sigue a Eva y Fabián, dos hermanos mellizos a punto de cumplir la mayoría de edad. Una noche de verano se verán involucrados en un trágico accidente. Las circunstancias concretas son, sin embargo, opacas y tan sólo parecen conocerlas ambos hermanos y Mabel, su madre.

Protagonizan la película Julia Martínez (“La Promesa”) y Diego Garisa (“Bienvenidos al Edén”) en la piel de los dos hermanos mellizos, junto a Nacho Sánchez (“Mantícora”), Sonia Almarcha (“El Buen Patrón”) e Itzan Escamilla (“Élite”). Completan el reparto Montse Díaz, Íñigo de la Iglesia, Elvira Cuadrupani, Lucía de la Puerta, Gerardo de Pablos y Jorge Cabrera.

Se trata del cuarto largometraje de Fernando Franco, que dirige a partir de un guion...

Akelarre

For his fifth feature, Argentinean director Pablo Agüero recreates a 1609 witchcraft trail for Akelarre, co-written by Katell Guillou (loosely based on Pierre de Lancre’s On the Inconstancy of Witches: Tableau de l’inconstance des mauvais anges et demons). Among the cast for the Spanish-Argentinean-French historical drama are Álex Brendemühl, Amaia Aberasturi, Garazi Urkola, Irati Saez de Urabain, Jone Laspiur, Lorea Ibarra, Yune Nogueiras, Daniel Fanego, Asier Oruesagasti, Iñigo de la Iglesia, Elena Úriz and Daniel Chamorro. Agüero’s 2006 short film “Primera nieve” played at Cannes, as did his 2008 feature Salamandra, which premiered in Directors’ Fortnight. But it was Agüero’s 2015 title Eva Doesn’t Sleep, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, which became a celebrated critical hit.…...

The Argentinian filmmaker finished principal photography – which took place in the Basque Country, French Basque Country and Navarre – at the end of June; the movie reconstructs a witchcraft trial. Seven weeks were sufficient to shoot Akelarre, the fifth film by renowned Paris-based Argentinian filmmaker Pablo Agüero (Eva Doesn’t Sleep), which is based on a witchcraft trial that took place in northern Spain in 1609. Principal photography began on the Biscay beach of Laga and wrapped in Zarautz, also stopping off at other locations in Navarre and the (French and Spanish) Basque Country. Toplining this historical drama (which conveys a feminist message) are Álex Brendemühl and Amaia Aberasturi, flanked by supporting actors Garazi Urkola, Irati Saez de Urabain, Jone Laspiur, Lorea Ibarra, Yune Nogueiras, Daniel Fanego, Asier Oruesagasti, Iñigo de la Iglesia, Elena Úriz and Daniel Chamorro. From a screenplay loosely based on On the Inconstancy of Witches: Tableau...

This looks freaky cool. A full-length international trailer has debuted for a Spanish horror fantasy film titled Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil, which has been playing at a few of the big horror film festivals in Europe since premiering in Sitges late last year. From Spanish filmmaker Paul Urkijo Alijo, Errementari does tell the story of a blacksmith outside of a small town, who is perhaps possessed by the devil. It's actually about a government commissioner investigating the blacksmith, and a young orphan girl named Usue who manages to sneak inside the smithy's place and discover the truth. Errementari stars Kandido Uranga as the blacksmith Patxi, Uma Bracaglia as Usue, plus Eneko Sagardoy, Ramón Aguirre, José Ramón Argoitia, Gorka Aguinagalde, Josean Bengoetxea, and Iñigo de la Iglesia. I'm not sure what to make of this, could be good or could be bad. The shot of the devil at the end is wicked.
