#MacabroNocturno: We're back!
We're back! Every month, we return to Casa del Cine with programming straight from our macabre trunk. This month, we'll have director Laurette Flores (México Bárbaro) presenting her first short film, Bautizo.
La segunda muerte Director: Santiago Fernández Calvete Country: Argentina Year: 2012 Running time: 91 min Language: Spanish
Synopsis: A small town, a boy with supernatural powers, a policewoman determined to solve a series of crimes, corpses that have been incinerated. And the strange appearance of the Virgin Mary in each of these cases. All these elements make up the puzzle of La segunda muerte, a supernatural thriller that blends the classic elements of crime fiction with a somewhat apocryphal take on horror, tinged with religious overtones.
