Necrophobia spooks
No, this is NOT a movie about having sex with dead people (that would be Necrophilia). NECROPHOBIA is an Argentinean supernatural thriller coming to us from German Val and Nicanor Loreti, the writers of the wild torture horror BREAKING NIKKI (which I last told you about here). If NIKKI was any indication, these guys have got some sick talent for the genre. This bodes well for NECROPHOBIA’s prognosis. Loreti called the story “A cross between Italian gialli and David Mamet, with a touch of David Lynch. It’s psychological, with a murder investigation thrown in.” The flick’s director, Daniel de la Vega (DEATH KNOWS YOUR NAME), sums up the synopsis as follows:
“It’s a tale about the fragility of reality and about how everything we take for granted can change in a single day, and turn our lives upside down. The storyline follows the plight of Dante, who is shocked by his twin brother’s death. From then on, his life becomes a living hell. Dante’s trapped by the necrophobia he suffers [as a result of his sibling’s passing], and is forced to defeat his fears and inner demons, or he’ll be devoured by madness. A series of bloody murders only makes things more complicated for him.”
That sounds pretty deep and, hopefully, gory. I’m really digging that teaser poster (above) as well. Mr. de la Vega also dropped this promising little piece: “It will be gory enough to please fans of the horror genre, especially those who like to see killings perpetrated with really big scissors!” I’m cool with that.
Filming is supposed to begin for 28 days in Buenos Aires, using HD cameras, however no set date has been issued. No word on the cast yet either. Maybe the filmmakers have Productionphobia. Yes, that was a horrible joke. Sorry, but I’ll keep you posted on any further news.
