Spain has been the recent mecca for interesting genre films, (off the top of my head, Abre los ojos (remade as Vanilla Sky), The Abandoned, [REC], The Others, The Orphanage, Time Crimes and Sexy Killer.) One of the godfathers of recent rise has been Álex de la Iglesia who has turned out science fiction, religious end-of-days, Haunting, westerns, and other genre fare with his own gallows humour spin. His resume is not spotless, but it is strong enough that it was kind of baffling that his 2008 Serial Killer film, The Oxford Murders, which stars John Hurt, Elijah Wood and Dominic Pinon never appeared on these shores. Well, two years after the fact, Magnolia has picked up the rights and are putting it out the film on July 7 (VOD) followed by limited theatrical release on August 6.
The film has been out on DVD in Europe for some time, but it is nice to see it officially show up in the US (and hopefully Canada).
The Trailer (from a few years ago) is tucked under the seat.
