Los Vampires

The Fantasia International Film Festival has announced a stacked second wave of titles for it’s 30th edition, further cementing this years lineup as one of the summer’s most exciting genre-film events.

Dark genre selections recently announced for the festival which runs July 16 – August 2nd in Montreal, Canada includes “Los Vampires”.

In 1930 Hollywood, a Spanish actor (Henry Ian Cusick, Lost, MacGyver) is cast in the night shoot of a soon-to-be-legendary vampire film, forced to imitate the English-speaking star (Thomas Kretschmann, The Pianist, Spectre) who performs the same role by day. The two actors regularly meet at the transitory hours of their shoots, and a rivalry stirs between them. All the while, a string of murders are occurring on and around the soundstage. With names respectfully altered, Craig Mitchell’s Los Vampires is a fantastical fictionalized account of the making of George Melford’s Spanish Dracula (1931), the arguably superior version of the Universal Horror classic which had been shot overnight on the same sets Tod Browning’s landmark picture used during the day.
