Following its release in North America by Dark Sky Films, Adrian Garcia Bogliano's acclaimed psychological thriller SCHERZO DIABOLICO will be released in the UK on November 7th 2016 by Matchbox Films with the new title EVIL GAMES.
After
losing his job and marriage, a middle aged office worker combats
mid-life crisis by kidnapping his bosses teenage daughter. But the
abduction does not go to plan and he soon finds himself victim to an
unexpected orgy of revenge and violence.
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. EVIL GAMES
marks a return to his native Spanish language and a return to the
acclaim of his previous films with a World premiere at Tribeca and Best
Film awards at Grossmann and Dead Lake Fantastic Film Festivals in
Slovenia and Serbia.
UK genre stalwart Kim Newman said after the UK premiere at FrightFest "Bogliano is shaping up as a modern master, showing an
increasing and effective combination of genre thrills and character
exploration”.
EVIL GAMES is the latest in a strand of Latin American genre films to be released in the UK by Matchbox Films and Jinga Films including PARA ELISA, THE ENTITY, FACE OF THE DEVIL, HONEYMOON and THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME.
In support of its UK release on DVD and VOD, EVIL GAMES will screen at Cambridge Film Festival and Cine Excess in Birmingham.
“Easily the best horror movie that’s come from Mexico since Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth”.
– Horror Freak News
“From a Shyamalan-worthy twist to a Tarantino-fueled ending…a crazy ride”
- Heaven Of Horror
“Raw emotion, violence and tension…
a dark and sexually-driven horror film.”
– Jay Kay, Icons Of Fright
