There’s imagery here evoking everything from INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS to Lovecraft.
Black Mandala has released the trailer and posters for INTO THE ABYSS, which won three awards at the Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre Film Fest. Directed, produced and edited by Matías Xavier Rispau, who scripted with Boris C.Q. and handled the cinematography with Juan Facundo López, it stars Martín Rispau, Germán Baudino, Chucho Fernández, Demián Salomón, Jorge Alagastino and Paula Brasca. The synopsis: “They came from heaven, installing perpetual night. Then the deluge that would change humanity forever. Bannon [Martín Rispau] is trapped in the middle of a city isolated and covered by a black and rainy sky, which epitomizes the end and decay of the old world. Seeking to leave the condemned area, he will realize that his very existence drags the vestiges of that world and must be put to the test or perish in the Abyss.”
“The film attracts by a proposal where the viewer can be carried away in the adventure by the classic form and style,” filmmaker Rispau says, “with genres such as science fiction and terror, but without losing, at the same time, a personal and human nucleus with which many will be able to find themselves.”
