First Concept Art For Chilean 'Fable-Horror' HUMANIMAL!

I've been saying for a while now that genre film fans need to keep an eye on Chile and here is yet another example of one compellingly strange picture coming from the South American nation. Titled Humanimal it is being directed by Francesc Morales who did some work on Jorge Olguin's zombie picture Solos and is described by Moreales as a "fable-horror".

"It's a horror story told from the point of view of a group of animals. The story starts when Turtle and Fox, two animals that live on a abandoned house, must learn how to act like humans. It will feature known Chilean actors Ramón Llao and Sebastián Layseca on the main roles, they will be dressed as animals on child-like costumes."

With a premise like this it could go either way, obviously, but Morales' connection to Olguin - one of the best the nation has to offer - is reassuring as is the fact that he's using credible actors. Done right this could be creepy as all hell - Orwell's Animal Farm is an obvious example of how this sort of premise can be played effectively for adults - and judging from the series of concept images that Morales sent in he's certainly not aiming to make his characters cute and cuddly.
