That is what it is about

Down! When the film ends, a child hides under the seats to secretly watch the horror film that follows in the cinema. A handful of other guests stray into the Cine Opera on this stormy night. Cinema, horror, darkness. What more could you want? Or so thinks a maniacal murderer who only has eyes for the audience instead of the film. The knives are sharpened, so it's curtains for one last, blood-red performance in which the audience plays the leading role.

What you should know

A dark hall and sinister companions on the screen as well as in the cinema. It's almost like HARD:LINE. Only in this case, it's a sinister character who is out to get the audience. Director Contenti is not squeamish about the protagonists. He delivers an enjoyable splatter film of the noble trash brand that is made for a festival: entertaining and full of nostalgia, this film is a partly very hearty declaration of love to horror cinema itself. We like it!

Direction

Uruguayan filmmaker Maximiliano Contenti has mainly worked on funding programmes at major festivals and attracted attention with short films and documentaries. But his heart beats for genre film. As a child of the 80s, he showed enthusiasm for adventure and horror films at an early age and went deeper and deeper into the material. He later studied at the Escuela de Cine del Uruguay, the film school in Montevideo. Contenti is also the founder of the production company Yokoh Films.
