sourceTwitch
Miguel Angel Vivas Secuestrados aka KIDNAPPED gets its final intense trailer which in cuts could be the closest movie to censorship  cuts to A Serbian Film but its not as grotesque though but still disturbing. Vivas wants you to everything not miss anything and its all shot in 12 parts, so no blinking. The movie looks very intense, disturbing piece that must be seen as a whole to appreciate what Vivas is trying to do.

Jaime, Marta and their daughter Isa have just moved into a luxurious new house. Marta begins to prepare the dinner and puts a bottle of champagne on ice to celebrate the move. As night falls, three hooded men violently force their way into the house. Panic ensues and soon the real violence will begin.

With he recent release of Skyline, Monsters plus next March's World Invasion:Battle Los Angeles on the cards it seems that Alien Invasion movies are the 'in-genre' at the moment. You could search the world including our own backyard and you'll find similar movies poping up everywhere and ALONE(Solos) is Spain's addition to the genre.
Directed by Mexican Pablo Olmos Arrayales who now lives in Spain and Alone will be his feature debut after a sucessfull award winning few years directing Short films. Well a little confession this trailer is actually for a movie not been made yet but it does look fantastic and looking at the source post they does say the filmmaker is working on the script for itand expect the movie in the next year or two. If this is to help prmote his idea to potential studios I dont think he has much to worry about!

Trailer For YELLOW (CRUZANDO EL LÍMITE)

source Quietearth
Xavi Giménez  is renowned for his cinematography on many big movies including The Machinist (Christian Bale) and more recently Agora (Rachel Weisz) but no w he makes his directoral debut with CRUZANDO EL LÍMITE (Yellow). I dont have much info on it but it does look very impressive especially for a debut feature, very gritty and the boot camp type drama, maybe like a das experiment for young adults . The movie will be out sometime this year in Spain and if Spain is anything like Hollywood it could be within the next 3 months.

Luis is the single father of sixteen year old Fran. Father and son are both going through a rough patch. In a desperate attempt to salvage their relationship Luis has taken a dramatic decision: to enroll his son in an “education” center.

Although Luis believes he is doing the right thing, the truth is he doesn’t know everything he should about the school’s methodology. Outraged by his father’s betrayal, Fran will do his best to show everyone at the school that he is not about to give in. But the school’s specialty is precisely to fight that kind of behavior.

Outside, Luis can’t help but wondering if he’s done the right thing; inside, Fran is going through a Guantanamo-like experience. Father and son have never been further apart.

It's A coming of Age Tale For A Robot in Kike Maillo's EVA

Source TwitchFilm (poster source Opium)
Daniel Bruhl's name became even more well known after last years Inglorious Basterds, before then more known for German/ Spanish movies. In the Basterd's he played  the charming but pyschotic Frederik Zoller but now we see him in a different light in EVA.
In this movie he plays Alex a cybernetic engineer who is asked to work on a robotic child and though we may not be used to seeing Bruhl in a part like this, this movie does look very good.You will see a little A.I resemblance with the robot child connection but overall this Spanish flick has a little more oompf than A.I as it looks evenly balanced from the actors, cgi even right down to the score, a good movie with a character story.
Read the synopsis and check out the trailer after the break...

The Year 2041.

Alex, a renowned cybernetic engineer returns to Santa Irene to carry out a very specific mission for the Robotic Faculty: the creation of a child robot. During the ten years he has been away from there, life has moved on for his brother David and for Lana, who after his departure, got her life back together.

By coincidence Alex's routine is altered in an unexpected way by Eva, who is Lana and David's amazing daughter. She is a very special, charismatic little girl. She and Alex have a special connection from the first time they meet.

They set out on a journey together, which will bring to them an revealing end.

EVA tells the story of a return, a reencounter and a loss.

Teaser For Spanish Horror (or Thriller) VERBO

Source ShockTilYouDrop
Alot of things in movieworld get typecast be it certain actors or the movie and its origin, so when we talk about Spain these days it tends to be gripping horror/thrillers.When it's the Horror genre there's a little checklist: Does it have director/producers from The Orphanage or Pan's Labyrinth? is it a Horror? is it a Thriller? or cant you tell? if you tick all the boxes on this checklist, it's Spanish! But nowdays the Spanish movies are very confusing when you cant tell which genre the movie should fall under, but what should be more import is the movie any good?
Verbo ticks all the box of the checklist with Eduardo Chapero-Jackson  who wrote and directed the movie which does look quite good despite his fetish for lightsticks! The soundtrack and visual effects do build this movie up to be a epic intense film.
Teaser Trailer after the break....

The story follows Sara, a teenager who doesn't understand the world in which she lives. Only Liriko, a mysterious character who projects enigmatic messages across the city, seems to understand her. Her search for meaning in this often depressing world will lead her to a secret place, where she will embark on a great adventure towards life, or death. If she succeeds, Sara could finally be able to leave her mark on the world.

Trailer For Eugino Mira's Baroque thriller AGNOSIA

source BloodyDisgusting
I've been waiting agonisingly for some new trailers to post on my blog, and we get this little beauty! Below is a teaser trailer for Spanish movie AGNOSIA which some websites are calling the next 'The Orphanage' or 'Pan's Labyrinth' well they are very close as the movie comes from the producers of those 2 movies Eugino Mira.

European Horror/thrillers especially Spanish ones over the last few years have been some of the best so when another one appears its does call out for our attention especially when the crap we see from hollywood be lucky to get 1 star (though there is a few good horror/thrillers in the indie movie scene).

If you like your movies dark,twisted, mind bending (not in the inception style), good story, beautifully shot maybe you should check out Agnosia, impressive is a word that springs to mind here.

The International Trailer For Spanish Thriller HIERRO

source Trailer Addict
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.

Trailer for Spanish Chiller Juega Conmigo (Play With Me)

source Dread Central
Above is the trailer for Spanish Juega Conmigo (Play With Me) directed by Jorge Jaramillo and Luis Fernando Mora. There's not alot of information on this movie apart from the little info Dread Central (who also struggled) could get. This creepy indie flick is about an very disturbed killer who has an mentality of an child, though its not alot sometimes litttle tidbits can just be as good as getting everything on a plate at once, it keeps the curiousity going.
I have no idea of when this movie will be out but I'll assume it will be sometime 2010 and if we're to go by the horror/thriller movies from Spain thats gone by Im sure this one will be a cracker!
