‘Everyone Will Burn’ Trailer – Strange Girl Heralds End of the World in Spanish Supernatural Horror
Drafthouse Films, known for its commitment to genre-defying cinema, is bringing apocalyptic supernatural horror movie Everyone Will Burn to select theaters this week. The official trailer teases the end of the world with the arrival of a peculiar girl with supernatural powers.
Everyone Will Burn opens in select theaters December 1 and will be available on Digital on December 5.
The Spanish horror movie premiered at the Sitges Film Festival and racked up multiple festival wins around the world. Directed, co-written, and cinematography by David Hebrero, the film centers on Lucía, a strange little girl who just might be connected to a local legend about stopping an impending apocalypse.
Everyone Will Burn follows “María José (Macarena Gómez, HBO’s ‘30 Coins‘), an outlier in her small Spanish town, who is grieving after her young son’s suicide. As she teeters on the brink of suicide herself, she encounters a mysterious young girl (newcomer Sofía García) caked in dirt. It is quickly revealed that the girl has telekinetic powers and might be the harbinger of the apocalyptic prophecy that exists within town legend. Despite her penchant for violence, María José feels an instant kinship with the girl because, like her late son, she has dwarfism — and the two of them face off against the vitriolic community who want to nip the potential hellscape in the bud.”
Watch the stunning technicolor trailer below to get a feel for the strange, genre-bending supernatural feature and the mysterious events signaling impending doom.
The cast also includes Rodolfo Sancho, Ana Milán, Rubén Ochandiano, Germán Torres, Ella Kweku, Raquel Lobelos, with Fernando Cayo and Saturnino García. Hebrero co-wrote the screenplay with Javier Kiran and shares D.P. credit with Ona Isart.
Everyone Will Burn will start a theatrical run at Alamo Drafthouse theaters in NYC, LA, and Austin on December 1, before arriving on Digital next week, on December 5.
It may not seem like it but The Pope’s Exorcist was a hit at the box office last year, scaring up $76.9 million on a production budget of just $18 million. Academy Award winner Russell Crowe plays real-life exorcist Gabriele Amorth in the horror film, and it didn’t take long for Screen Gems to start thinking about a sequel. It seems it’s now actually happening.
The Pope’s Exorcist producer Jeff Katz took to Twitter last night to officially announce The Pope’s Exorcist 2, tweeting: “Amorth Nation — I just got the call. It’s officially happening!”
Katz added in last night’s tweet, “Thank you to the amazing #ThePopesExorcist fans. You made this happen. Gas up your Lambretta – and get ready to ride.”
According to a recent interview with Russell Crowe, a trilogy had originally been planned at Screen Gems, which could end up happening if the sequel performs as well as the first film.
Stay tuned for more as we learn it.

“We set that character up that you could take him out and put him into a lot of different circumstances,” Crowe recently said. “And remember that the man that’s based on, Gabriele Amorth, he wrote twelve books. So we have more than enough source material to do one or two more of those films. But that probably won’t be until next year.”
There’s nothing remarkable about The Pope’s Exorcist, either good or bad, but a fun performance from Russell Crowe makes it worth a watch. He’s able to elevate the material from forgettable to enjoyable, which would explain why even Fangoria is demanding a sequel.
Julius Avery (Overlord) directed The Pope’s Exorcist.
From Sony’s Screen Gems, The Pope’s Exorcist is based on real-life exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth, “the legendary Italian priest who performed over 100,000 exorcisms for the Vatican.”
