It’s been an absolute banner year for horror, especially true for Screambox, the all-horror streaming service that’s now powered by, run by, and curated by the Bloody Disgusting team. Since taking over, we have dedicated time and heart to developing an entirely new experience and acquiring titles we’re excited about, all of it making for a year loaded with great horror.

Ahead of the New Year, here are some of the significant Screambox highlights for 2022. If you missed any of these, you can find them streaming exclusively on Screambox now!

Freddy’s Nightmares

Screambox kicked off 2022 by bringing the Nightmare on Elm Street spinoff series “Freddy’s Nightmares” to streaming for the first time as a limited exclusive. The anthology series had been unavailable previously. Aside from brief appearances on television over the years, “Freddy’s Nightmares” was only ever released on individual VHS tapes, so bringing...

Attendees also noted Buenos Aires event is becoming more of a project development market than a sales market.

Genre and animation titles dominated at Latin America’s leading film and TV market Ventana Sur as business vied for attention with the World Cup in Qatar, where the progress of the Argentinian national side led by Lionel Messi has created a festive mood in Buenos Aires.

Of particular interest at the market, which ran from November 28-December 2 and hosted screenings, presentations, panels and meetings, was the new Fan Latina Blood Window sidebar dedicated to female creators. Argentinian titles such as Jimena Monteoliva...

Co-director Jérôme Paillard says market ”exceeded our expectations, especially regarding the quality of the projects proposed in the different sections”.

Horror When Evil Lurks, drama León – both from Argentina – and fantasy drama Almamula, a co-production between Argentina, Italy and France, were among the winners as Ventana Sur came to a close on Friday in Buenos Aires.

The prizes come with development and/or completion funds, or attendance at partner events, underscoring Ventana Sur’s reputation as a critical support platform for Latin American content.

Demian Rugna’s Blood Window Screenings Award winner When Evil Lurks, the first Spanish-language production for...

Spanish Screenings on Tour, video games section among anticipated highlights.

Ventana Sur organisers anticipate a record number of participants to descend on Buenos Aires for the in-person return of Latin America’s leading audiovisual market running November 28–December 2.

This year’s edition is loaded with animation and genre, a profusion of works in progress as well as video game projects and the arrival of Spanish Screenings On Tour.

Ventana Sur is heading towards a record attendance this year as organisers said more than 2,500 participants including 400 from Europe, 100 from North America and 400 from Latin America (excluding Argentina) have registered so far.

“She Wolf” director Tamae Garateguy, one of the most exciting talents on Latin America’s burgeoning genre scene, is set to direct “Fuckin’ Sexy,” a sex doll horror movie set up at Argentina’s Machaco Films, producer of Damien Rugna’s “Terrified” and “When Evil Lurks.”

A bold swing, which is what Garateguy’s fans love about her, “Fuckin’g Sexy” is set on the Argentina-Paraguay-Brazil triple frontier where laborer Juan stumbles on a life-size latex sex doll. It proves “a device of death” but, in a long journey through the jungle, Juan comes to recognises its “noble heart.”

“Fuckin’g Sexy” looks like one undisputed highlight of Blood Window Fant.Latina, a new section at Ventana Sur’s Blood Window dedicated to six new projects by female horror/fantastic film directors, taking in other highly respected established talents such as Argentina’s Jimena Monteoliva (“To Kill the the Dragon...

Martin Basterretche's horror flick, El ultimo zombi (The Last Zombie) is hitting the festival circuit soon. It will play at Macabro in Mexico and Sitges in the coming months. El ultimo zombi was produced by Mariano Oliveros who has worked with a few friends of mine. He was a producer on What The Waters Left Behind, directed by Nico Onetti and directed a short film called Reinas del Bosque, starring Trauma's Ximena del Solar. He was also a co-producer on Jimena Monteoliva's Welcome to Hell. Oliveros sent along the trailer (en Espanol) and a smack of images to share with you today. Check them out below. “The Last Zombie” Sails To MacAbro And Sitges Argentine horror film “The Last Zombie” will be...

Auxilo (Help) was formally announced by Variety before the weekend. Alas, unheardof circumstances around a nationwide digital infrastructure outage here in Canada forbid us from following up that announcement until this morning, to get the best exposure. Auxilo, a new paranormal horror flick from Argentine director Tamae Garateguy begins production this August in and around Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've always been intrigued by Garateguy) and our friends at Del Toro Films are producing this new flick with Furia Films (The Last Heretic - in post) so I wanted to make sure there were as many eyes on this as possible. It’s 1931. Emilia, a...

Lucia lives with her mute grandmother, her abuela, at their remote home in the forest. Lucia has left a dangerous relationship with Monk, the lead singer of a satanic death metal band. Further to this toxic relationship is that she is pregnant with his child and he wants it back, before time runs out. Before time runs out for what?    From the onset director and co-writer, Jimena Monteoliva, states her motivation for Bienvenidos al infierno, and it is a characteristic that has been a constant with her since we saw her 2017 film, Clementina. After an opening glimpse at the danger that lies ahead for Lucia there is a scene where she is at a local shop. A radio broadcast reports on the latest...

Chile’s Sanfic Industria, the industry section of the Santiago International Film Festival (Sanfic), and Grupo Morbido, the Mexican horror conglomerate, have unveiled details for the 2021 Sanfic-Morbido industry events unspooling in early November, as well as a special poster designed by Chilean-Ecuadorian artist Alberto Montt to mark the occasion.

In August 2019, Sanfic and Grupo Morbido announced a collaborative venture which would see Grupo Morbido founder and CEO Pablo Guisa attend and participate in a dedicated genre project section at the South American festival. Later that year, the first ever Sanfic Morbido Fest prize was awarded to Pilar Díaz, producer of Florencia Dupont’s “Aracne.”

Their arrangement was expanded upon in February 2020, when the two organizations embarked on a joint horror initiative to promote and grow the genre cinema industry in Chile and South America at large. Like so many best laid plans at that time, however, arrangements were thrown into upheaval by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Our friends at Blood Window shot a reminder our way that they are launching a work in progress program at Bif-Market in Brussels next week. The market is running during the digital edition of the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival. Blood Window are presenting nine Latin American projects in development and in the post-production stage. A few if these names are familiar to us already. Some of them were are part of Blood Window Lab's virtual edition last December. Others are filmmakers have spoken of a lot in the past and others even as recent as this week. Argentine filmmaker Bernardo Bronstein will pitch his suspenseful horror Carla’s Body is Lying Next to Yours, which my friend Jimena Monteoliva (Welcome to Hell) is...

Another for the getting shit done category. My friend in Argentina, Jimena Monteoliva, was working on her next film, Bienvenidos al Infierno (Welcome to Hell), but had to stop production because of the global health crisis. After the second wave subsided Monteoliva and her crew cracked on and finished shooting the heavy metal satanic sacrifice horror flick.    Lucia lives secluded in a remote cabin in the middle of a forest with her grandmother, a mysterious and mute old woman. Lucia came to the inhospitable house of her grandmother to escape from the Black Monk. He is the dark and ruthless leader of a sect and father of the child she expects, who plans to murder both her and her baby,...

Good news out of Buenos Aires yesterday. Variety reported that my friend, Jimena Monteoliva, director of thriller-horror Clementina and dark fantasy Matar al dragon, will adapt the novel La Virgen Cabeza (Slum Virgin) from local author Gabriela Cabezón Cámara. She will direct the adaptation and produce the film under her Crudo Films banner with co-head Florencia Franco. Narrated largely by a journalist, Qüity, “La Virgen Cabeza” – Slum Virgin in English – is set in the El Poso shanty slum of Buenos Aires, where a transvestite prostitute, Cleo, begins to hear divine messages whispered to her via a cement Virgen Mary statuette. The figure instructs her, promising to alter the community’s fortunes for the better. A miraculously cleaned up El Poso is, however, destroyed...

An icon of Latin American genre movie production, Crudo Films, the Buenos Aires-based production house headed by Jimena Monteoliva and Florencia Franco, will diverge from the fantastic with the upcoming production “La Virgen Cabeza,” a big screen adaptation of the hit debut novel from local author Gabriela Cabezón Cámara.

Director of Fantaspoa and Morbido competition player “Clementina” and 2019’s “To Kill a Dragon,” Monteoliva is attached to fill the director’s chair once again.

Narrated largely by a journalist, Qüity, “La Virgen Cabeza” – Slum Virgin in English – is set in the El Poso shanty slum of Buenos Aires, where a transvestite prostitute, Cleo, begins to hear divine messages whispered to her via a cement Virgen Mary statuette. The figure instructs her, promising to alter the community’s fortunes for the better. A miraculously cleaned up El Poso is, however, destroyed by the police who move in with bulldozers, massacring much of its population.

This one kind of snuck up on us. Things being what they are we lost track of our friends at Final Girls Chile down in Santiago this year. But they have soldiered on and will be putting on a free online event in the back half of this week for all Chileans.    My friends Sol Charlotte and Jimena Monteoliva will have their movies, Diablo Rojo Pty and Matar al dragon (To Kill the Dragon), play during the festival. They will be joined by Laura Casabé and her film Los que vuelven (The Returned).    There will be short films, band sets, interviews and conversations with female leaders like Gabriela Sandoval, founder of Santiago Intenrnational Film Festival, or Sanfic, an important partner and currator of...

Today Blood Window announced the 15 projects selected for the official Blood Window Lab, part of the genre program at the Ventana Sur co production market in Buenos Aires, Argentina.   With a lot of filmmakers chomping at the bit to make movies post-pandemic there were a record 214 projects submitted from Latin American countries this year. Of the fifteen project chosen six would be directed by women and another seven would be produced by women as well. Not bad, not bad at all.    I have a number of friends with projects in the market this year. Sandra Arriagada (Apps) has a project called Matria which would be produced by Trauma's Lucio Rojas. Jimena Monteoliva would produce El cuerpo de Carla yace junto...

“Matria,” with “A Fantastic Woman” star Daniela Vega, and Raul Camarena’s “The Bus,” with Meraquí Pradis from “Dani Who?,” have both made the cut for December’s Blood Window Lab, the feature project competition at Latin America’s biggest genre movie market.

Part of Ventana Sur, a film-tv market-meet run by the Cannes Festival and Market and Argentina’s Incaa film-tv agency, the Blood Window Lab will be held online for the first time, running Nov. 30-Dec. 4. As state film funding plunges in Brazil and Argentina, 2020’s edition received a record 214 project submissions.

2020’s lineup shows Latin American fantasy genre at least holding up, despite the economic battering taken by many Latin American countries before and during Covid-19.

“Producers and directors are developing strategies to tell stories which are shaped to production realities but still maintain a freshness and do not ignore their social context,” Javier Fernández, head of the Blood Window program,...

Exclusive: Brazil’s Fantaspoa Fantastic Film Festival, which is the largest genre event in South America, has locked a partnership with local streaming service Darkflix to allow it to host its 16th edition online, and free for local audiences.

The 2020 edition of the fest was originally scheduled to take place in May this year, but had to be postponed due to the pandemic. As the virus is far from being contained in Brazil (the country now has both the second-highest number of infections and deaths in the world), organizers have ultimately decided that a physical edition will not be possible this year, and instead will pivot online.

Running July 24 – August 2, Fantaspoa will see Darkflix host a number of Latin American premieres of new genre films, and will feature a total of 110 features and shorts from 35 countries. Each title will have a cap of 5,000 viewers and will be geo-blocked for viewers in Brazil.

To Kill A Dragon, Skull: The Mask Of Anhanga, Penance Lane join sales roster.

Toronto-based genre label Raven Banner has acquired worldwide sales rights to several titles as it rounds out its Efm sales slate and has picked up Argentinian dark fairy tale To Kill A Dragon, among others.

Jimena Monteoliva directed the film about Elena, a young woman who is reunited with her older brother 25 years after being kidnapped. She tries to adapt to her newfound freedom but remains shackled by the terrors of her past.

To Kill A Dragon premiered at the Morbido Film Festival in Mexico and...

When Elena was a young girl her parents were brutally murdered during the night and she was kidnapped, seperated from her brother Facundo. Twenty-five years later, Facundo is a doctor and lives with his beautiful wife Valeria and their two daughters. Then Elena appears in the forest, injured and sick with a virus in her blood. Facundo is elated, Valeria is cautious. Facundo is eager to include Elena into his family but whatever took her twenty-five years ago wants her back. And it is coming for her. In Jimena Monteoliva's dark fairy tale, Matar al Dragon, there are a number of allegorical interpretations going on here at the same time. Monteoliva intended for Matar al Dragon to be seen as commentary of the brutal reality...

Here is an eye grabbing quad design for domestic horror, Matar al Dragón, from Argentina.  Houses and homes are often a theme in poster design, particular for horror films. The hoariest cliche over the past 15 years or so is the menacing house with roots growing out the bottom. So it is delightful to see this literal take on a house turned upside down, with a brush stroke heavy hand drawn design. Also striking is the two-colour palette, grey and maroon, which are out of phase, symbolic that there is to be a surface narrative, and a hidden narrative. It is a highly suggestive, and rather grand in its way. The quad...

As the calendar changes from October to November, Mexican horror fans will ascend for the twelfth year on Morbido Fest, a Mexico City-based festival dedicated to all things macabre, organized and executed by Morbido Group CEO and founder Pablo Guisa Koestinger.

This year’s festival will kick off Oct. 30 with a spectacle grander in its ambition than any Morbido inauguration before. Taking place within the Esperanza Iris City theater, more than 60 artists will perform six choreographed musical numbers with Guisa taking the reigns as master of ceremonies. Those familiar with Guisa and his public persona won’t be surprised to hear that his opening night wardrobe alone includes eight costumes, with more to come in the following days.

Somehow, the TV network owner, festival director, writer, publisher and radio host found time to make appearances in three high-profile films screening at this year’s fest: Paco Plaza’s “Eye for an Eye,...

On Friday morning the award ceremony was held for the Ventana Sur film market. Of special interest to us at Screen Anarchy were the winners of the awards for the Blood Window program, the genre focused co-production program of Vs.    Demian Rugna's Terrified (Aterrados) was awarded the Effff Latino Award for the best Latin American film of the year by the European Fantastic Film Festival Federation.    Jimena Monteoliva's follow up to last year's Clementina, To Kill The Dragon, won the Sofia Films Award.

Sales agent Film Factory eyeing Cannes sales launch.

Ana García Blaya’s Argentine drama The Good Intentions (Las Buenas Intenciones) dominated the Primer Corte awards for Latin American films in post-production on the closing day of Ventana Sur (14).

The feature directorial debut about a daughter and her dysfunctional father played to buyers on Thursday and was awarded the Cine+ Award and the Nmf and Color Print award. Film Factory acquired worldwide rights excluding Argentina on Thursday and is eyeing a Cannes sales launch.

Uruguayan social satire The Undefendable (Los Indefensos) by Matías Ganz won Le Film Francais Prize. The Good...

Buenos Aires — “The Good Intentions,” the first feature of Argentina’s Argentina’s Ana García Blaya, won two industry prizes, including the top European Vision Prize, at the 2018 10th Ventana Sur, which wraps Dec. 14 in Buenos Aires. It shared a third.

The award sweep, for a title in pix-in-pose section Primer Corte, was always on the cards. The father-daughter drama – in which a young girl, shunted between her divorced parents, has to choose between gong to live abroad with her mother or staying with her feckless father – played to applause and even, reportedly, some tears at an industry screening Thursday.

“It’s a portrait of a 2.0 family,” said Bruno Deloye, at France’s Cine + Club, which adjudicated the prize with Le Film Français’ Francois-Pier Pelinard-Lambert and Louise Ronzet from Udi, the latter two representing TitraFilms and Gomedia.

Deloye added: “The relationship between two parents and the three children is crazy,...

Ventana Sur’s Blood Window stands out as one of Latin America’s most important events for the promotion and advancement of genre filmmaking.

According to Blood Window coordinator Javier Fernández, genre filmmaking has become a Helms Deep-type bastion for independent filmmakers looking to create cinema on their own terms and with limited budgets.

“Genre is, in Latin America, where independent filmmaking is still happening,” said Fernandez. “Many independent filmmakers are turning to the fantastic to find a place in the market. Overall production for genre films has stayed steady, but more independent directors are turning to genre to save that independent nature of production.”

More than that though, it has provided a launchpad for a number of filmmakers looking to work internationally. Latin American genre provided the roots of filmmakers like Guillermo del Toro (“Cronos”), “Don’t Breath” director Fede Alvarez and “It” director Andy Muschietti, recently linked to...

Argentine filmmaker Jimena Monteoliva started shooting her new film To Kill The Dragon (Matar Al Dragon) last week. “To Kill the Dragon” is a nightmare that tells the story of two siblings cruelly separated since kids. The youngest, Elena, is confined in La Cueva, the world of darkness, where she leads a miserable life with a fearsome delinquent. While the eldest, Facundo, remains on the side of Paradise, where he lives a peaceful life as a doctor with his wife, Valeria, and two daughters. Twenty-five years later, destiny unites these two siblings by facing once again the family tragedy that separated them. To Kill The Dragon reunites Monteoliva with her Clementina co-writer Diego A. Fleischer, though that was not the first time they...

One of the takeaways from my trip to Morbido at the end of October was a sense that there is a burgeoning genre film community on the rise in Argentina. With films like What the Waters Left Behind from the Onetti brothers, Clementina from Jimena Monteoliva, Aterrados from Demian Rugna and Relicto from Laura Sanchez Acosta the country shows great promise as a key contributor to LatAm genre cinema in the years to come.    Filmmakers Ezequiel Endelman and Leandro Montejano from Buenos Aires are looking to add their names to that cadre with their Argentinian Giallo flick Crystal Eyes (Mirada de Cristal). They graciously passed along the trailer for their film, along with a collection of bill cards as well.     Buenos Aires,...

Jimena Monteoliva’s horror flick Clementina opens to find Juana, pregnant and unconscious on the floor of her flat, lying in a pool of blood. She wakes up in a hospital three days later. She has lost the baby and a social worker and police officer are at her bedside ready to ask her questions about the incident that left her bleeding to death. Her neighbour saw her husband Mateo leaving that night. They want to know if he was one who beat her and fled but she refuses to say anything. Juana returns home and begins to put the pieces of her life back together. Her body, still in recovery, reminds her of the life she once had inside her. She goes back to...

Programmers at the eighth Buenos Aires market handed out their annual awards on Friday when several titles rose to the top and the judges also unveiled selections from a vibrant inaugural animation section.

Mexican director Natalia Beristain’s The Goodbyes (Los Adiosos) from Woo Films, Zamora Films and Chamaca Films earned the European Vision Prize in the Primer Corte section for projects in post-production.

The Mexico-uk-Poland drama also won the HD Argentina Prize in the Latin American Vision section and tells of the life of renowned Mexican author Rosario Castellanos and her love for Ricardo Guerra.

Also in Primer Corte, the Film Francais Prize went to another multiple winner, Marcelo Caetano’s Brazilian entry Body Electric (Corpo Electrico), which also scooped the Habanero Award and the Sofia Films Award in the Latin American Vision category.

In a perfect world, you’d know the names Tamae Garateguy and Jimena Monteoliva already. Sadly, their urgent, black-and-white, giallo-esque She Wolf has yet to find U.S. distribution after hitting festivals in 2013. The film, which Garateguy directed and Monteoliva produced, was a raw, punk tale of a predator stalking the streets of Buenos Aires. It…

Argentinian helmer Tamae Garateguy made a quite an impression a couple years back with her feature She Wolf - a hugely stylish black and white psycho sexual thriller that won raves at Fantastic Fest and other festivals around the world. So what next for the talented director? Well, she was back at Fantastic Fest last year pitching her ambitious vampire project El Plata are the Mercado Fantastico project market and while waiting for that to come together has teamed up with producer Jimena Monteoliva to co-direct upcoming slasher All Night Long.
