Uruguyan director Gustavo Hernandez created quite a stir with his debut feature, the single take horror
La Casa Muda (
The Silent House). An astounding piece of technical filmmaking that proved Hernandez had an uncommon knack for building tension,
La Casa Muda had its world premiere in Cannes before going on to release in its original version around the world while also spawning an English language remake. And now, four years later, Hernandez is back with his sophomore effort,
Local God (
Dios Local).
When a three-member cult rock band reunites to film a music video at an abandoned gold mine, they unleash the spirit of a sleeping demon/god that will force them to relive the horrors of their past.
With the film about to launch its festival tour - the world premiere is set for Fantastic Fest with Sitges to follow and further festivals awaiting their public announcement - ScreenAnarchy is proud to present the trailer for the film below. This thing is packed with absolutely fabulous imagery so turn the lights down low and the volume right up.
