Genre distributor The Horror Collective has announced that it has acquired North American rights to Sol Moreno's feature directorial debut Diablo Rojo PTY, as exclusively reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
The first Panamanian horror film, Diablo Rojo PTY already made a splash by playing theaters in its home country, and has been playing the festival circuit, including Canada’s Hexploitation Film Festival and the Panamanian International Film Festival in Los Angeles, CA.
"A 'Diablo Rojo' bus driver, his helper, a priest, and two policemen fall victim to a mysterious spell and end up lost somewhere in the Chiriqui jungle, where they will have to survive the creatures that inhabit the roads, with the old bus as their only refuge."
"Being a part of Diablo Rojo PTY, Panama’s first horror film, is an incredible honor," states Jonathan Barkan, The Horror Collective’s VP of Acquisition and Distribution for Feature Films. "This movie is a total throwback to the ‘80s horror films I grew up watching. It’s full of practical FX, has a great score, and is wicked amounts of fun! I can’t wait for North American audiences to see this one!"
Written and produced by J. Oskura Nájera, Diablo Rojo Pty features a stellar cast that includes Carlos Carrasco (Speed, Blood In, Blood Out) and Leo Wiznitzer (Causa Justa, Hands of Stone).
