‘Amigo’ Clip Begins Its Descent Into Madness [Exclusive]
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look at the psychological horror Amigo, featuring comedian David Pareja losing his mind as he cares for his immobile friend,
In Amigo, a violent accident convinces good-natured David (Pareja) to accommodate and care for his best friend, Javi (acclaimed creature performer Javier Botet). But as the two of them begin arguing, the truth about their toxic, homicidal relationship bubbles to the surface – and madness soon takes hold.
The film is described as “an intense cinematic journey that echoes Misery and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, Amigo is a journey to the heart of deep, dark, gothic Spain that offers a radical twist to the amazing chemistry that Botet and Pareja have previously displayed in their comedy sketches together.”
A co-release from Dekanalog and Raven Banner, the acclaimed thriller, which played Fantastic Fest and Sitges, opens in U.S. and Canadian cinemas this Friday, December 2nd.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
