Director Pablo Pares has long been a favorite on the Latin American genre circuit, his
Plaga Zombie,
100% Lucha and
Zona Mutante winning fans with their scrappy energy and infectious love for the genre. And while Pares latest effort,
Daemonium, may be a low budget affair he's not letting the financial resources limit his ambitions, creating a series of short films that will later stitch together into a feature that fuses action, horror and scifi tropes.
The story of Daemoniun is set in an alternative universe, where
technology and magic co-exist like humans and demons do too. Thought as a
series of 5 chapters,in Daemonium we see Razor`s evolution ( who is
going to be the visible face of a dystopian government that only seeks
for a final war against hell), Rebecca`s deliberations ( who during all
the series will doubt about all she always believe in) and the birth of a
new hero placed by Fulcanelli (who will end up in Razor`s way and his
conquests, and will have to face his destiny).
The first episode of
Daemonium arrived online nearly a year ago and with the second due to follow on Friday there is a fresh trailer to capture your attention. Check it below.
