The Curse of La Patasola trailer previews horror film based on Amazonian folklore

Vertical Entertainment will be giving director AJ Jones’ feature debut The Curse of La Patasola, a horror film based on Amazonian folklore, a theatrical and VOD release on January 14th. Two weeks ahead of that release date, we’ve managed to get our hands on the trailer, and you can check it out in the embed above!

Scripted by Jones and Shaun Mathis, The Curse of La Patasola has the following synopsis:

While on a weekend camping trip, two struggling couples encounter an infamous vampiric monster from Amazonian folklore, testing their relationships, their courage, and their will to survive.

The film stars Najah Bradley (Black Box), Patrick R. Walker (You Might Be the Killer), Mark Pettit (Who Is Killing the Cheerleaders?), and Gillie Fitz, a.k.a. Gillie Jones (The Body Sculptor), with Luciana Faulhaber (The Girl Who Invented Kissing) as La Patasola herself. AJ Jones also has an acting role in the film.

The Curse of La Patasola was produced by Carlos Velasco and Gillie Jones.

As described by Wikipedia,

The Patasola or “one leg” is one of many myths in South American folklore about female monsters from the jungle, appearing to male hunters or loggers in the middle of the wilderness when they think about women. The Patasola appears in the form of a beautiful and seductive woman, often in the likeness of a loved one, who lures a man away from his companions deep into the jungle. There, the Patasola reveals her true, hideous appearance as a one-legged creature with ferocious vampire-like lust for human flesh and blood, attacking and devouring the flesh or sucking the blood of her victims.

Sounds like an interesting creature to me!
