- Our thoughts on this exciting news!
Alright, horror fans, gather ’round! We just got some news that’s going to send shivers down your spine. Seriously. We’re talking major spooky vibes incoming!
Remember Alejandro Hidalgo? He’s the brains behind ‘The Exorcism of God.’ Pretty intense stuff, right? Well, he’s not resting on his laurels. Not at all. He’s cooking up something new, and it sounds absolutely wild.
His next big project is called ‘The Hungry One.’ And yes, it’s a supernatural horror film. The best kind! This one is going to take us deep into Malaysia. Specifically, during their famous Hungry Ghost Festival.
Can you picture it? The whole atmosphere of that festival—the flickering lanterns, the street performances, the offerings for wandering spirits. It’s got such a unique, almost ethereal visual aesthetic. We can already imagine the unsettling colors and shadows Hidalgo will play with! It’s going to be stunningly eerie.
Kuala Lumpur’s own Abnormal Studios is handling all the worldwide sales for this flick. They’re actually showing it off right now at the Busan International Film Festival. Big moves! And guess what? Singapore’s Clover Films has already snagged the rights for some regions. Talk about hot property.
It’s always cool to see directors dive into new, culturally rich horror stories. It makes us think about other fresh takes on horror, like when MatPat decided to turn that creepy puppet show game into a Blumhouse movie. Different vibes, but both exciting!
Our Take
Honestly, we are beyond excited for ‘The Hungry One.’ Hidalgo has a way of making you jump out of your seat. And setting a horror film during such a visually rich cultural event like the Hungry Ghost Festival? Genius. We’re expecting a film that’s not just scary, but also beautifully eerie. Bring on the ghosts!
