The Abandoned
The Abandoned is a Spanish horror film from Nacho Cerdà which promices to be more than a gory slasher flick.
Marie (Anastasia Hille - The Hole, Cutting It) returns to Russia, where her mother’s dead body has been found under bizarre circumstances. She never knew her, having been adopted and brought to America as a baby. The only clue as to what might have happened is an isolated, abandoned farm in the mountains that supposedly belonged to her natural parents. Being the only next of kin, she inherits the place, but no one will take her there as the local superstitions state that the area is…DAMNED. A cycle of horror comes to fruition, as she learns the real reason she has been summoned for this perverse reunion with her past… And the brutal secret behind her family.
The Abandoned is a bloody tale that sits in the genre of ’haunted house horror’ but manages to subvert the obvious trappings with it’s shocking story and high production values.
Set for DVD release on 19 May 2008 courtesy of Momentum Pictures.
The cast headed by Karel Roden (The Bourne Supremacy, Hellboy, Blade 2) and Anastasia Hille (The Hole - one of my Favourite British Horror Films).
