Sin Fronteras takes a turn for the strange with 11 PM screening of La memoria del muerto, a horror film by Argentine director Valentin Javier Diment.
A stylish supernatural shocker that has been a hit at film festivals around the world. Argentina’s Memory of the Dead boasts some terrifying FX setpieces bathed in a candy-colored visual palette that makes Mario Bava’s gothic classics look monochromatic by comparison. Following the sudden death of her husband, Alicia assembles all his friends at a vast country manor for a reading of his final letter. But Alicia also has other plans in mind – helping her husband return from the grave with a spell that will put all of the gathered guests in mortal danger. Scary, hysterical and packed with mind-boggling visuals, Memory of the Dead is the cinematic equivalent of a fun-house ride. (Courtesy of the Guild Cinema)
"An absolute gore-splattered hoot of an import. Clearly inspired by Evil Dead 2, Ten Little Indians, and probably dozens of other stories in which people get killed in disturbing ways, Memory of the Dead is not the first horror feature from Valentin Javier Diment, but it has the raucous enthusiasm of a young Sam Raimi or Peter Jackson." - Fearnet.com
Admission $8 for general admission and $6 for student.
Hope you can stick around for this late night dose of Argentine horror, humor and camp!
