Friday One Sheet: CRIME 101

After the opening credits and marketing from HBO’s True Detective, the silhouette/landscape design trope became fairly ubiquitous in movie posters.

Set in 2017, It Would Be Night in Caracas depicts political upheaval through the eyes of a Venezuelan writer desperate to flee the country. As the city collapses around her, she is threatened by revolutionaries, the police, and paramilitary operatives. Based on a novel by Karina Sainz Borgo, the film was co-directed by longtime filmmaking partners Mariana Rondón and Marité Ugas.

With the official end of Spooky Season in sight the build up to the Horrordays must begin. And while two of the three films premiering on Shudder next month might not fall under that category, the third one is most recognizable as a holiday horror classic.    In November everyone in all territories will get to watch Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story. Later on that month subscribers only in the U.S. will get to see the very good time-looping crime comedy, Sew Torn, and holiday horror, Krampus. We don’t know what the rest of us are going to do, but we will make due.    Regular programming of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans, Guts & Glory and The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs continue….
