ROMASANTA: THE WEREWOLF HUNT



Based on the true story of Spain’s most gruesome Werewolf murders

In 19th Century Spain, a travelling seller with a woman in every town is the keeper of an ancient secret. This handsome, charming ladykiller may also be leaving a trail of bloody murder in his wake that the locals attribute to “the Werewolf of Allariz”.

Barbara lives with her sister, isolated in the deep forest. Her happiness comes when the mysterious seller comes to call, but why has he no fear of the wolves that lurk under the darkening trees and what does he keep hidden from view inside his wagon?

Based on the true facts of a real murder case, starring Horror veteran Julian Sands (Warlock, Rose Red) and directed by Paco Plaza (REC 1&2), Romasanta is a sensual, horrifying and boldly original take on the Werewolf genre.

I haven't seen this film, but like werewolf movies and those based on real serial killers so hope this will be to my tastes. Also, as a massive fan of Pan's Labyrinth, I'd love to see what Ivana Baquero is like in her very first film.

Its a decent gothic movie, Werewolves roaming the lands, terrified villagers, Julian Sands going all out. Its the sort of movie i would expect Hammer to produce nowadays, a double bill with Wakewood.
