New Zealand-based sales and distribution company Black Mandala has picked up international rights to Spanish-language genre film and 2023 festival hit “I’ll Crush Y’All” (aka “Os Reviento”).

Portrayed by Mario Mayo, Gabriel, better known as ‘Tarado,’ is a former boxer who lives in a secluded village outside the city with his father and his dog. He could still box, but to avoid what led him to spend a few years in prison, he prefers to lead a quiet life. The death of his father and the shady dealings he was hiding attract a wide range of characters to his home, each with worse intentions than the last: a brother with a troublesome new girlfriend, an angry admirer, mobsters with dark purposes, and thugs looking for a stolen bag of money.

It debuted at the FantasticFest in September and won the audience prize at both FantasticFest and the Sitges genre film festival.

"Don’T Move! Don’T Breathe! Don’T Make A Sound! They’Re Coming!" Just in time for Halloween, Synapse Films will be releasing its 2-disc Tombs of the Blind DeadBlu-ray on October 24th!

Amando de Ossorio’s unique 1971 Spanish shocker Tombs of the Blind Dead was an international horror hit that spawned three sequels and countless imitations. Now, over 50 years after its debut, Synapse Films is proud to bring this Spanish horror classic back from the grave in a brand new restoration with killer extras that would wake the dead!

The first of four official films in the series, it begins with a trio of friends getting together for a camping trip that quickly turns into blood curdling horror as a legion of long-dead Knights Templar rise from their graves in search of human flesh! When the Templars were originally executed for their cannibalistic rituals, they were hanged outside...

Synapse Films has detailed its upcoming of Amando de Ossorio's genre film Tombs of the Blind Dead (a.k.a. "La noche del terror ciego") from 1972 starring Lone Fleming, César Burner, María Elena Arpón, José Thelman, and Rufino Inglés.

The three-disc set (2Blu-ray/CD) is expected to arrive on the market later this year.

Synopsis:

When Amando de Ossorio made Tombs of the Blind Dead (La noche del terror ciego) he had been active in the Spanish film industry as a writer and director since the early 1950s, mostly working on Westerns. After having a minor hit with the 1969 vampire film, Fangs of the Living Dead he decided to follow it up with another horror film. The result spawned three sequels and secured the director’s place in genre history.

Synapse Films have recently restored Tombs of the Blind Dead for an upcoming Blu-ray release and that print premiered as part of this year’s Fantasia film festival. As a long time fan of the entire Blind Dead franchise, I was curious to see how it compared to previous releases.

Virginia is in Lisbon...

Made in the wake of Night Of The Living Dead but before the craze for horror films that dominated European cinema for much of the Seventies, Amando de Ossorio's vividly realised tale of terror would prove hugely influential. It has recently ben restored by Synapse Films and it screened as part of the 2021 Fantasia International Film Festival in all its original glory. Though aspects of its story stretch credulity even within the bounds of fantasy and it is at times spectacularly silly, it is delivered with rare style and panache. There is much here to admire and to tremble at.

The story hinges on three twentysomethings who decide to take a trip together. Virginia (Maria Elena Arpon) and Roger (Cesar Burner) are best friends. Betty (Lone Fleming) is Virginia's former boarding school roommate, whom they chance upon at a swimming pool. Sparks start to fly immediately between Betty and.

Here’s a title for you: Demon Witch Child (1975). This is the kind of title that conjures up images of crucifixes, and vomit, and crises of faith; a title that demands you confront your own relationship with the spiritual and contextualize your role in existence.

This is not that film.

Released in March in its native Spain, Demon Witch Child (a Rob Zombie song title if I’ve ever heard one) didn’t haunt Stateside drive-ins until May of the following year. Pay no heed to the critics, who immediately dismissed this as another The Exorcist rip off; instead, Demon Witch Child (aka La endemoniada and The Possessed) picks some of the strangest angles to come at that revered material from - so much so that it ends up doing its own thing in peculiar and fun ways.
