During
1871's Black Plague epidemic in South America, young priest Ernesto ventures
off to Buenos Aires where thousands of people are sick and dying. Enroute,
he stops at his family estate but discovers the plague has also invaded
those walls. As his brother dies in his arms - choking on the black vomit
- Ernesto becomes infected. Days of dementia follow as the priest soon
faces the devil himself.
Here
is another exceptional horror film from Argentina, a country that has
recently become a reservoir of top quality thriller fare. Following in
the footsteps of cinema pioneer Daniel de la Vega (NECROPHOBIA,
BLOOD
BROTHERS, et al), director Calzada has chosen to take his
vision into the realm of Passion Plays where horror faces off against
religion.
