Way the hell back in November we briefly touched on a movie from Wild Bunch called THE SQUAD. At the time, all we really knew was the joint featured some paranormal happenings at a desolate military base. Well now, thanks to our pals over at Twitch, we have a full synopsis, promo poster and official teaser trailer for the flick. Scope it…
Directed by Jaime Osorio Marquez, from a script he co-wrote with Diego Vivanco, THE SQUAD follows:
A special high mountain command composed of nine experienced soldiers that is sent to a military base in a desolate high-plains moor of Colombia with wich contact was lost several days ago and was believed to be the target of a guerrilla attack.
Upon arrival, the only person found inside the base is a peasant woman who is heavily chained. Gradually, the isolation, the inability to communicate with the outside world and the impossibility to escape, undermine the integrity and sanity of the soldiers, causing them to lose the certainties about the identity of the enemy and creating them doubts about the true nature of that strange and silent woman.
Prisoners of fear, paranoia and a dark secret that they carry, they will challenge each other becoming animals willing to kill one another in order to survive.
Juan Pablo Barragan, Nelson Camayo, Alexandra Aguilar, Andres Torres and Andres Castaneda are a few of the squad members.
THE SQUAD has a tentative 2012 release.
