Ghost Project, also known as Side Project and Paranormal Encounters in the UK, begins with a trio of ghost hunters equipped with a device that looks like an old video camera crossed with one of the rifles from Aliens investigating a factory that was the scene of a deadly fire.

A.K. Tolstoy’s A Taste of Blood, not be confused with the recent Canadian cannibal film of the same name, or H.G. Lewis’s 1967 splatter epic, is a new vampire film based on an old story, Tolstoy’s 1839 short story “The Family Of The Vourdalak” to be exact. It’s been filmed a few times over the years, most notably as a segment of Mario Bava’s Black Sabbath starring Boris Karloff.
This version, shot in Argentina under the title Sangre Vurdalak was filmed by writer/director Santiago Fernández Calvete. His credits include The Second Death and Intimate Witness, as well as co-writing the recent release The Exorcism of God. Can his experience working in the genre make A Taste of Blood easy to swallow?

Instead there were several years of silence between it and the announcement of The Exorcism of God. And a few more years before the finished version made its way to festivals. As always in cases like these, the question is, was it worth the wait?

Fernando Díaz’s Machaco Films and Roxana Ramos’ Aramos Cine have partnered to set up a joint venture: La Puerta Roja, focused on horror and fantasy movies as well as working with prominent genre directors from Ibero-America. Both companies are based in Buenos Aires.
The idea sprang from Machaco and Aramos’s co-production partnership on Demian Rugna’s next project “When Evil Lurks.” Machaco had already produced Rugna’s “Terrified,” awarded at the Austin Fantastic Fest among a flurry of international kudos, and whose remake rights were acquired by Guillermo del Toro.
A cinema-tv production company, Machaco Films was founded over 20 years ago. Productions include Fernando Díaz’s “Soul’s Square,” and Rossana Díaz Costa’s “Trip to Timbuktu” and “A World for Julius,” based on Alfredo Bryce Echenique’s same-titled novel.

Paola Suárez, producer of the breakout Argentine mob drama “La Chica que limpia,” died on Sunday after suddenly collapsing in Córdoba, Argentina, at the age of 41.
Her death comes just months after Fox gave a series greenlight in May to “The Cleaning Lady,” a U.S. version of “La Chica que limpia” created by Miranda Kwok, which is scheduled to bow as a midseason entry in the 2021-22 season. “La Muchacha que limpia,” a Mexican makeover produced by WarnerMedia Latin America and Btf Media, aired on HBO Latin America from June 25.
Sporting glasses and a huge grin, Suárez embodied the huge energies of a young generation of Latin American film producers who took Buenos Aires’ Ventana Sur by storm from its second edition in 2010, turning a sales market into an informal international co-production meet attracting thousands.

Argentinean director Santiago Fernández Calvete's The Second Death is an oddity: A hard-boiled, supernatural mystery that revolves heavily around Catholic dogma. Its engagement with religion is far more complex than the slew of exorcism movies we've been subjected to as of late, and in some ways, its plot goes into far more audacious places than any of those. At the same time, the tough, no nonsense style of the film results in a final product that feels surprisingly subdued, and while it's often moody and evocative, it could have used a bit more showmanship and drama to really drive its intriguing premise home. The titular term, according to Christian beliefs, refers to the eternal suffering that the soul endures after death in the Lake of...
