Next Monday in Bilbao: Tour Macabro XVI at Caostica!

This program is more than a showcase — it's a threat looming over Mexico and Bilbao, one that could become a macabre and chaotic annual tradition, through a journey into the depths of the darkest reaches of the human psyche, unleashing our most hidden, repressed, bizarre, and shabby fears; featuring monsters found in the room, in the house, in the trash, in the elevator, and in the most wretched corners of our existence.

Macabro, one of the festivals with the strongest tradition in Latin American genre cinema, is sending its paranormal suitcase from Mexico Macabro for the third consecutive year, in its 16th edition, to unleash chaos and desolation upon Bilborock, on a night that promises to steal the souls of everyone in attendance.

You have been warned.
