But she soon realizes things are a bit strange when she discovers Ana sleepwalks around the house at night looking for prey. Isabél Zuaa stars, with a cast including Marjorie Estiano, Miguel Lobo, Cida Moreira, Andréa Marquee, and Felipe Kenji. This looks very peculiar and eerie, but it's that final shot with the freaky dog (boy?) that really sells this. I dig the hand drawn poster art, too. Here's the first trailer (+ poster) for Marco Dutra & Juliana Rojas' Good Manners, direct from YouTube: Clara (Isabél Zuaa), a...
