MUMBAI; Synapse Films has picked up the rights of three terrifying feature films by celebrated Fantastic Fest and SXSW filmmaker Adrián García Bogliano, the Argentine director of festival favorite Cold Sweat and the upcoming Penumbra taken by IFC Midnight.
In Rooms For Tourists a busload of girls fall prey to a town of terror… what connects the victims? The young filmmaker of Watch’em Die takes a job that leads to horror. Four young girls stop to help a woman in the street and it leads to rape horror and death in the breath-stopping I Will Not Die Alone.
“I am a huge fan of Adrian’s films and have seen every single one. I feel that he may be the most talented new filmmaker I have come across,” says Synapse head Jerry Chandler.
“He is a master of making the most of miniscule budgets and his attention to detail is unmatched. I was hooked when I first saw Rooms For Tourists —-the atmospheric dread is palpable early on. I Will Not Die Alone is somewhat similar to I Spit On Your Grave, only it’s a great movie! And Watch’em Die is much more fun to watch than Hostel or its myriad imitations.”
Synapse Films recently released brand-new remastered Blu-ray releases of James Glickenhaus’ The Exterminator, William Lustig’s Manic Cop, and Frank Henenlotter’s Frankenhooker with Tarantino-producer Lawrence Bender’s Intruder releasing this December.
