XYZ Films has today released the first teaser and poster for the upcoming Mexican occult horror Huesera, the breakout feature debut from Michelle Garza Cervera, which they’ve acquired for theatrical release in North America as one of the first slate of titles under their new distribution arm and an early pick-up ahead of the Tribeca Film Fest.
In Huesera, Valeria's (Natalia Solián) joy at becoming pregnant with her first child is quickly taken away when she's cursed by a sinister entity. As danger closes in and relationships with her family become fractured, she's forced deeper into a chilling world of dark magic that threatens to consume her. A group of witches emerge that could be her only hope for safety and salvation, but not without grave risk.
Alfonso Dosal (Netflix's "Narcos: Mexico"), Mayra Batalla (Prayers for the Stolen), Mercedes Hernández (Identifying Features), Aída López ("Capadocia"), and Martha Claudia Moreno also star.
Michelle Garza Cervera co-wrote the script with Abia Castillo.
Huesera will world premiere on June 9th at Tribeca as part of the festival’s Midnight section. The film will be released theatrically in North America by XYZ Films following its global film festival run.
XYZ Films will represent the title for sales in additional territories and most recently introduced it to international buyers at the 2022 Cannes Marché du Film.
The film has long been a title to watch on the industry circuit and was previously selected for the esteemed Blood Window and Fantastic 7 showcases at Cannes and spotlighted as a buzzed-about project at the Guadalajara Film Market when it was in pre-production.
