The multipart shocker sees theatrical release in September.
Epic Pictures’ Dread line, in association with Iconic Events, brings SATANIC HISPANICS to theaters September 14, timed to the start of Hispanic Heritage Month. Information on venues and ticket pre-orders can be found here. The omnibus movie’s segments, which take a wide variety of approaches and inspirations from Hispanic folklore and culture, were directed by Mike Mendez, Demián Rugna, Eduardo Sánchez, Gigi Saul Guerrero and Alejandro Brugués. The cast is headed by Efren Ramirez, Greg Grunberg, Hemky Madera, Jonah Ray Rodrigues, Patricia Velásquez, Jacob Vargas, Ari Gallegos, Demian Salomon, Christian Rodrigo and Michael C. Williams. The synopsis: “When police raid a house in El Paso, they find it full of dead Latinos, and only one survivor. He’s known as The Traveler, and when they take him to the station for questioning, he tells them those lands are full of magic and talks about the horrors he’s encountered in his long time on this earth, about portals to other worlds, mythical creatures, demons and the undead. Stories about Latin American legends.”
