Remember a few weeks ago when I told you about THE VAMPIRE IN THE HOLE, a Spanish feature purportedly shot for only $1? An extended trailer featuring statements from the cast and crew along with new footage has surfaced; check it out below. As an added bonus, you can get a sneak peak at the first five minutes of the film on the official website.
Vampirism is a newly discovered viral illness whose initial stages spread as quickly as the flu. May has just turned seventeen and has become infected. She is the only vampire in her family and her neighborhood and, as such, her life changes dramatically. In her daily surroundings she is now seen as a monster: kids throw stones at her and she is bullied at work. However, May tries to adapt by following the rules and norms set by the government on infected citizens who wish to fit back into society.
Opinion is divided about what should be done with the “infected”. Should one accept them, or reject them? And this division foreshadows a future war where racism and intolerance will inevitably hasten the definitive rift between humans and vampires.
Sonia Escolano and Sadrac Gonzalez co-wrote and co-directed the picture. It stars Alba Castillo, Raul Quiros, Maria del Barrio, Gillian Apter, Imanol Reta, Alvaro Pascual, Merce Estrada, Paloma Alma and Sung Woo Kim. The film is due out later this year.
