It’s an oceanbound combo of survival horror and action thriller.
Black Mandala and Del Toro Films have announced that EYES OF THE ABYSS, the latest from director Daniel de la Vega (JENNIFER’S SHADOW, WHITE COFFIN), will be released in North America, the UK and Ireland, Australia and New Zealand by Uncork’d Entertainment. Scripted by Luciano Saracino, Gonzalo Ventura and de la Vega, it stars Verónica Intile, Carolina Alfonsín, Kevin Schiele, Raymond Lee, Cristian Mariani, Pablo Turturiello and Gustavo Pardi. The synopsis: “Somewhere in the depths of the South Atlantic, a soldier [Intile] wakes up aboard a warship. She is surrounded by corpses–her memory is a labyrinth. Soldiers storm the ship, they have a mission to accomplish, and she must attack with lethal precision in a desperate fight for survival. Wars, beyond death, produce echoes that sail on, seeking revenge. Who will dare to face the Eyes of the Abyss?”
“On a warship laden with corpses and threatening to sink,” de la Vega says, “the film explores the suffering of those caught between life and death, with bold visual aesthetics and a fragmented narrative that defies the conventions of the genre.”
