Vampus Horror Tales

[Available Feb. 14 on various digital and VOD platforms.] Bodies drop like flies in this unsatisfying, black-and-white, bleak, gruesome, violent, 102-minute, 2020 horror film in which a murderous, cannibalistic gravedigger (Saturnino Garcia) presents five vignettes on Halloween night: 1) in Manuel Martínez Velasco's The Wedding, a jealous man (Félix Gómez) isolates a bride (Elena Furiase), who is in her wedding dress and all set to marry, in the hopes of being with her forever; 2) in Erika Elizalde's Birthday, jealousy runs rampant when three lesbian friends (Montse Pla, Daniela Dardanelli, and Dunia Rodríguez) take a creepy amusement park ride in a horror-filled tunnel; 3) in Isaac Berrocal's Second Date, a crazy Spaniard (Nacho Guerreros) brings an unsuspecting blind woman (Erika Sanz) to an isolated house outside of Madrid to convince her to build a family with him; 4) in Piter Moreira's Lineage, a hotdog-caused pandemic is raging and a devoted husband (Federico Repetto) tries to care for his wife (Vicky Jorge) who has become a vampire; and 5) in Víctor Matellano's Vampus, various victims (Diego Arjona, et al.) succumb to the sinister gravedigger (Saturnino Garcia) who has a hungry pet.
