Urban Legend (August 1) Credit – TriStar Pictures

Urban Legend is a slasher thriller film directed by Jamie Blanks from a screenplay by Silvio Horta. The 1998 film is set on the premises of a private New England university, and it revolves around a group of students as they witness a series of murders that seem to be based on popular urban legends. Urban Legend stars Jared Leto,...

Set against the backdrop of the 1992 Sevilla Expo, this Netflix thriller begins with a devastating explosion that kills Alvaro, an executive involved in the expo’s plans. Amparo (Marian Álvarez), his widow, struggles with the chaos of grief and suspects his death was not an accident. Enter Richi (Fernando Valdivielso); a former cop turned security guard whose struggle with alcoholism mirrors the societal deterioration that lies under the surface.

The serial killer, known as the “Curro Killer,” leaves behind a Curro doll, which was originally a symbol of hope but has since been warped into a harbinger of retribution. This first murder sparks Amparo and Richi’s complex inquiry, in which flames veil the truth—both real and metaphorical.

The narrative thickens throughout six episodes, with each new victim related to the fair. Amparo’s tireless pursuit reveals a series of horrible killings, exposing societal cracks and bureaucratic inefficiency. The...

Although Netflix's 1992 unfolds like a typical crime thriller, it reels viewers in with its distinct characters and the performances of the actors who play them. Serving as an addition to Netflix's catalog of compelling Spanish TV shows, 1992 primarily focuses on a vicious serial killer and two investigators who set out to find the truth about his identity. Many aspects of 1992's overarching storyline are predictable because they struggle to rise above the well-worn tropes of the genre.

However, the series thrives when it focuses primarily on the chemistry between its dynamic protagonists, Amparno and Richi. Even though their characterizations seem derivative of other duos who have appeared in several other similar detective dramas, the actors who play them do a brilliant job of capturing their struggles and vulnerabilities. Since the primary cast members and characters play a crucial role in making 1992 more compelling and watchable, many viewers may be...

Streaming platforms prefer shows and miniseries over movies because it keeps a user engaged for a longer period of time. A viewer might watch a 90-minute film and log off, which means less activity and less revenue. But if a viewer starts a show or a miniseries, especially if it can be binged, then they’ll be logged in for upwards of 200 minutes, which means more activity and more revenue. This greed for engagement (allegedly) motivates producers and OTTs to push storytellers to turn their feature-length scripts into episodic ones. I know that that sounds wild, but if you watch a decent amount of shows and miniseries, you’ll begin to notice which of them were meant to be a movie and were then forcibly expanded into a show or miniseries. Some of them may fly under the radar, but some of them have such paper-thin plots due to all...

Ya está aquí el primer tráiler de “Al Otro Barrio”, una comedia social basada en la historia original y en la película “Jusqu’ici tout va bien”, escrita por Khaled Amara, Mohamed Hamidi y Michaël Souhaité y dirigida por Mohamed Hamidi.

En “Al Otro Barrio”, intentar engañar a Hacienda ha sido una opción demasiado tentadora para Andrés (Quim Gutiérrez), pero no contaba con que le pillaran. Y eso es exactamente lo que le ha ocurrido. Además de la multa millonaria que le ha caído encima, ahora debe trasladar sus oficinas al barrio de Los Caños, en las afueras más marginales de la capital, o eso le parece a él. Pero lo cierto es que Andrés se estaba aprovechando de una jugosa subvención por tener allí su sede, sin haber pisado nunca el barrio.

Sony Pictures International Productions and Amazon Prime Video recently joined forces with Álex de la Iglesia on the feature film series “The Fear Collection”.

It kicked off with Álex de la Iglesia‘s Veneciafrenia, released in Spain last November.

Next up is Venus, hailing from horror veteran Jaume Balagueró, the co-director of Rec and Rec 2, not to mention the filmmaker behind Sleep Tight and The Darkness.

The second film in the anthology film series is described as a supernatural horror story that’s set in an urban survival environment with elements of modern witchery.

Following its World Premiere in the Midnight Madness program of the Toronto International Film Festival (read Meagan’s review here), Bloody Disgusting has the official international trailer for the film the fest described as “cosmic horror within the concrete corridors of a cursed apartment complex on the outskirts of Madrid.”

"He's just like him." "I hope this one lasts a bit longer." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a dramatic series titled Fanático from Spain, created by Dani del Águila, Federico Maniá Sibona and Yago de Torres. This has one hell of a concept: When a trap artist's biggest fan tries to take over his idol's persona, he finds out that being a superstar isn't as easy as it looks. "Quimera unleashed the madness, Lazaro the rebellion." Fanático is a Spanish Netflix series about the death and resurrection of a famous musician. When Quimera, Spain's greatest musical idol, dies in front of his fans during a concert, Lazaro, an unconditional fan who looks very similar to him, begins to take over his persona and pretend to be the dead performer. That's when things get really crazy. Starring Lorenzo Ferro, Roger Gual, Carlota Urdiales, Eva Almeida, Hamsa Ouncer, and Fernando Valdivielso.
