Born in Spain but raised in Argentina, Adrian Garcia Bogliano has been at the forefront of Latin American genre films for the past decade with titles including PENUMBRA, COLD SWEAT, HERE COMES THE DEVIL and his first English language film LATE PHASES.

“Easily the best horror movie that’s come from Mexico since Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth”.

“Raw emotion, violence and tension…
a dark and sexually-driven horror film.”
