Black Mandala Films presents the first images of the new horror movie “1978”, directed by Luciano and Nicolás Onetti ( “ABRAKADABRA”, “WHAT THE WATERS LEFT BEHIND”).
The WIP of the film had its world premiere at Marché du Film (Cannes Film Festival) during the Blood Window Showcase. “1978” will start the international festival circuit in October with big announcements coming soon.
Synopsis:
During the World Cup final between Argentina and Holland, in times of military dictatorship, a group of torturers violently breaks into a home and kidnaps a group of young people to take them to a clandestine detention center.
What begins as an inhumane interrogation turns into a true martyrdom: the wrong group of people have been kidnapped. They turn out to be part of a macabre cult guided by an unknown supernatural force. The clandestine detention center will become hell itself…
