Chilling Theatrical Trailer For Spanish Ghost Story NO DO (THE BECKONING)

We are great fans of Spanish film maker Elio Quiroga in these parts, in no small part due to his genre-mashing tour de force La Hora Fria - or The Dark Hour - a film that didn't find nearly the audience it deserved with its ambitious blend of post-apocalyptic scifi horror. Since La Hora Fria, Quiroga has been hard at work on his next film, No Do, a picture which once again fuses genres into a unique and compelling blend. Is it a haunted house story? Religious conspiracy theory? A loss-driven drama? Yes to all, and it's a wee bit more, besides. Here's how the sales agent describes it:

The film tells the story of Francesca, a young pediatrician who has been traumatized by the loss of a child through crib death. When the family moves to a new home in the country, supposedly to help her recover from the experience, she begins seeing completely inexplicable things. Even worse she gradually faces the possibility of going completely mad because of the visions and apparitions she continuously witnesses. The answer to Francesca’s problem is hidden in some “secret No-DO’s”, news programs made in the forties to inform Church leaders about miraculous happenings in Spain, and which are thought to have disappeared.

The old newsreel footage is a fascinating device here, bringing in elements of spirit photography and a healthy dose of religious conspiracy and cover up while also bringing an interesting historical layer to the proceedings. The Spanish theatrical trailer has just arrived, check it out below the break.
