Trailer
Why watch this film?
This is a movie written and directed by Owen Egerton ("Festival of Blood"), backed by Blumhouse Productions, the production house behind contemporary horror hits like "Get Out," "Insidious," "The Purge," and "Happy Death Day." "Mercy Black's Possession" draws inspiration from popular folklore spirits like "Bloody Mary," "La Llorona," "Veronica," and "The Queen of Swords," as well as real-life events like the Mary Bell case and the Slender Man case—both about murders as ritual sacrifices (Egerton wrote the script while researching the latter case). Starring Daniella Pineda ("Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom") and Elle LaMont ("Alita: Battle Angel"), the movie tells a story about taking responsibility for past mistakes, and while it may not be the scariest entry in the genre, it is above average enough to make for an engaging supernatural horror offering.

Blood Fest
In recent years, the slasher genre has been receiving a lot of homage. Films from all over the world and from different filmmakers have been looking for ways to pay tribute to classic productions like Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween. Now, Blood Fest attempts to bring together the maximum number of references from the genre in an incredibly fun plot: young people go to a party to celebrate these bloody cinematic baths. Obviously, it's not a movie to be taken seriously. Many things are exaggerated, and some aren't even done well. But the homage is there, showing how slasher challenged standards and brought a new look to horror cinema. Traditional fans of the genre will certainly have a good time.

28 Days Later
Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs – and it’s absolutely impossible to contain.
The Jack in the Box Rises
When Raven is sent to an all-girls boarding school, she unleashes a demon from a mysterious vintage jack-in-the-box hidden on the school grounds. Will the students make it out alive, or will the demon claim the victims it requires to remain alive?
Nudus
From director Gibrán Bazán, pupil of legendary cult filmmaker Juan López Moctezuma (Alucarda), NUDUS is a science fiction thriller that, with few resources, aspires to create the worst conceivable dystopia of our digital age: a world in which everyone's data is accessible to everyone, and for any purpose, after a major global hack. The plot follows a woman (Carla Hernández) who, upon waking up from a prolonged coma, is confronted by a stranger (Álex Crusa) who seems to know everything about her: everything she has written on WhatsApp and Facebook, all the videos she has sent to her contacts, all the humiliating information she has said in private. From this moment on, NUDUS seems more concerned with the mystery of its characters than with the greater background of their situation, so it becomes more about the exploitation of its female protagonist than a reflection on technology and data privacy. However, despite the plot going off the rails, the situation lends itself to exemplifying a catastrophic scenario of these breaches in privacy.
