Deadline shares the international trailer and news that the Paraguayan horror hit Morgue has been picked up for world sales by Argentinian outfit FilmSharks.
Released late last month in Paraguay, the low-budget breakout from writer-director Hugo Cardozo is about a first day from hell for a hospital security guard.
“On his first day as a security guard, Diego Martinez is assigned to the night shift at the Hospital Regional. On his rounds, he notices the hallways can be unsettling at night until he accidentally notices he’s trapped inside the morgue.”
FilmSharks, Guido Rud’s Buenos Aires-based remake rights specialist, says it already has multiple distribution offers on the table for the movie, which could see remake interest too.
The film has attracted more than 55,000 admissions locally and is already the seventh best-performing film of the year in Paraguay for new distributor MB Films. The movie is largely Spanish-language but it also includes Paraguayan dialect Guarani.
