Earlier this week Jake made your jaws drop with the new trailer for Antonio Chavarrias’ CHILDISH GAMES. Alright maybe your jaws didn’t drop but the thing doesn’t look half bad.
That sentiment is just enforced today with the release of several new stills from the flick and a new international one-sheet. So what do we get in these new shots? What else? Subtly creepy kids! Scroll away above and below for the goods and enjoy!
Daniel receives an unexpected, and unwanted, visit from a friend who he hasn’t seen since his childhood. His friend is obsessed with his daughter and insists that Daniel has to meet her. Daniel does his best to get rid of him and tries to forget the incident. That same night his friend commits suicide.
Laura, Daniel’s wife, suggests they go to his friend’s funeral. There they meet his daughter, a little girl, barely seven years old, who since the death of her father has been taken into foster care. Laura convinces all parties that the best thing is for the little girl to go and stay with them.
But the little girl’s presence in the house starts to have an adverse effect on the couple when fears and memories which Daniel thought he had long since buried start to come creeping back inside his head. The same obsessions and fears that took the life of his friend start to take control of Daniel. A growing sense of isolation engulfs Daniel in the house, which until the arrival of the little girl, he had thought belonged to him.
CHILDISH GAMES stars Juan Diego Botto, Barbara Lennie (below), Nora Navas, Agata Roca, Magica Perez and Marc Rodriguez. It will be dropping into Spanish theaters on March 9th with a US release hopefully soon to follow.
