Currently in production and set in a "distant time but in a reality very near our own", writer Alejandro Hernández (Eskalofrío, review) and director Isidro Ortiz bring us a thriller, and what looks like a mystery.
Returnos tells the story of Alvaro, a man who after exile his village for ten years, returns to attend the funeral of his father. Once there, he tries to reconcile with his brother and to recover his daughter Mar. Everything get's complicated when Alvaro finds a prostitute dead in the road, her name is Lydia, and she is[was] a friend of his daughter Mar. Álvaro, fearing for the safety of his daughter, begins an investigation in a village in which nothing is what it seems and everyone has something to hide.
And here's a Spanish to English version:
With a script by Alejandro Hernández ("Ants in the Mouth", "Bad Seasons"), based on an argument...

Release date: October 28th (R1 DVD)
Director: Isidro Ortiz
Writers: Isidro Ortiz & Hernán Migoya & José Gamo & Alejandro Hernández

Review by: quietearth
Rating: 6.5 out of 10
While not a bad little film, Shiver suffered from some sputtering about a quarter of the way in. The sputtering came from a complete change in story direction, away from the spectacular beginning of the boy Santi, who suffers from a photosensitivity disease, running through the city as the dawn chases him. This was great, and it seems the storyline directions were endless, but that it would probably end up being something vampire-like as a visit to the doctors shows his disease progressing, and his canines growing. But no, after a short while, they head to the country, and toward a much simpler story line, one which suffers from a severe lack of ingenuity.
Santi has a diseases which makes him sensitive to the light,...

“Small village, big hell.”—old Basque proverb.
Frequent startle jolts in Isidro Ortiz’s Eskalofrío (Shiver) are determined to make you yelp outloud, even if perhaps a little too obviously. Yet another film that I first heard about on Twitch, Shiver premiered in the Panorama section of this year’s Berlinale to tepid critical response. Expectation factored heavily as audiences went into the film assuming it to be a horror flick when, in truth, it’s more a competent thriller with some horror tropes deferentially approached though never fully developed. Few disagree that the film is professionally mounted, the performances solid, and that it respectfully carries on the tradition of Spanish “horror” films like The Devil’s Backbone, Pan’s Labyrinth and The Orphanage, borrowing—in fact—teenage actor Junio Valverde from Backbone, Labyrinth‘s Oscar-winning set designer Pilar Revuelta, and The Orphanage‘s composer Fernando Velázquez to firm up its genre pedigree.

We've been following this horror flick out of Spain for a while now and even got a review from Eiff earlier this year, and now, it's finally getting a release here in the states courtesy of Dark Sky. It's going to drop on DVD on October 28th with both English subs or an English language option (I personally go with the subs). The film is about "Santi, a lonely adolescent who moves to a far-off village lost in the mountains with his mother. A series of odd events will shock the place and he will become the main suspect. The only way to prove his innocence will be disclosing the terrible secret the wood hides." The new trailer is on the official website, so check it out.

Isidro Ortiz did the fantastic film Eskalofrío (Shiver) which we reviewed here and it seems the Spanish horror site Aullidos just got the scoop on his next project. The film is based on a book by Amelie Nothomb in which a reality show called "Concentration" picks up random people off the street and dumped onto a big tanker out in the ocean from where the viewers at home get to watch them fight between each other and the guards (presumably). It looks like it's getting ready to roll, but apparently Ortiz is trying to pick up none other then Asia Argento to star in it. Yeah, I'll watch it! Art after the break.
