Although a trailer for Elio Quiroga’s Spanish spookster NO-DO (THE BECKONING) has been in our video section since last June, for some reason we never inked a follow up story on her. Well all that shite is changing today, as we not only have a new Spanish trailer to leer at, we’ve got an elongated plot rundown to pump or deflate our desire to see the damn thing. Below, as always!
Starring Ana Torrent, Francisco Boira, Hector Colome, Rocio Munez and Francisco Casares:
The film tells the story of Francesca, a young pediatrician who has been traumatized by the loss of a child through crib death. When the family moves to a new home in the country, supposedly to help her recover from the experience, she begins seeing completely inexplicable things. Even worse she gradually faces the possibility of going completely mad because of the visions and apparitions she continuously witnesses. The answer to Francesca’s problem is hidden in some “secret No-DO’s”, news programmer made in the forties to inform Church leaders about miraculous happenings in Spain, and which are thought to have disappeared.
Pretty promising, even if the first few sentences of the plotline seem nothing new. But throw in the phrase Church leaders and voila…creepy is born!
Maria Aguila, Jon Ander Aguirrezabal, Antonio Barbero, Andrea Bracamonte, Carla Canalles, Marissa Carrasco, Antonio Carreno, Jorge Casalduero, Javier Castell, Rafael Cendon and Miriam Cepa fill out the supporting cast.
For all things NO-DO (THE BECKONING), take a tour through the films Official Site. There you’ll find all kinds of stills, synopses, a making of video (in Spanish), cast and crew info, etc.
Enjoy the two trailers!
NO-DO star Ana Torrent will star alongside the unbearably hot Olga Kurylenko in THERE BE DRAGONS!
