Haddock Films and Tornasol Films, the producers behind Juan José Campanella’s 2010 Oscar-winning The Secret in Their Eyes, are teaming with 16:9 Cine and Warner Bros. Argentina for Cristian Bernard’s horror feature Under Your Feet (Bajo tus pies), reports Variety.
Bernard (76-89-03, D-Graduated) and writer-editor Hernán Moyano (Dubicel, Sudor Frío) penned the script, which is inspired by real events.
It follows Priscilla, a mother who decides to move with her two small children and leave the past behind. But in their new home they will meet three mysterious sisters who live in the apartment below, the subject of a strange mystery that other neighbors regard with indifference.
With a visual style and concept art influenced by horror titles such as Rosemary’s Baby, The Tenant, The Shining, and The Others, its first two acts will be a psychological thriller, where evil is not seen. In the third, the movie will become an horror fable, a sinister fairy tale, according to Sánchez.
“This is a project aimed at a young audience, avid consumers of horror distant from Argentine cinema policies,” Bernard said.
Under Your Feet will tentatively start principal photography from February.
