Hierro first caught my attention when I was working on my other blog the Peoples Movies doing a article on last years Film4 Frightfest in which the movie was part of the line up.
There was very little information apart from a short synopsis there was positive chatter about the movie as it came from the producers behind Pan's Labyrinth & The Orphange, the movie simply dissappeared of the face of the earth.
Now nearly a year on after its release in its native Spain Hierro is getting a limited UK release on 18 June and after the break you can check out the international trailer for the movie.
You cant argue but some of the best intense horror/thrillers movies in the past few years has come from Spain everything from Pan's Labyrinth, Orphange right up to [REC] franchise which has brought a fresh look at the zombie genre. You'll get the intensity but also the dark edginess, the thrills and spill you expect from a horror flick and even though Hierro has been rated the dreaded 12A do expect shocker.
Synopsis: While travelling by ferry to the island of El Hierro, Maria's the young Diego goes missing. Has he fallen overboard? Has he been abducted? Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Diego simply vanished. Six months later, as Maria is fighting to overcome the pain of her loss, to pick up the pieces of her life and start over again, she receives an unexpected telephone call. A child's body has been discovered and she has to return to El Hierro. On the island, a strange and threatening landscape, populated by sinister, malevolent looking characters, Maria is forced to confront her worst nightmares. As she travels along the terrible path that will lead to her son, Maria will ultimately make that most unbearable discovery of all: that some mysteries are better left unanswered. - source 24FramesPersecond
