With Evil Dead Rise not hitting cinemas for another few months, we are thrilled to receive an all-new demon-filled horror title out next week to tide us over. Legions, an unabashed love letter to Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead series, is available to North American VOD on January 19th from XYZ Films.
Argentinian filmmaker Fabián Forte’s latest release folds together the best of his previous cinematic endeavors: the comedic writing and direction of his 2016 hit Dead Man Tells His Own Tale is masterfully mixed with mystical horror of 2017’s Terrified – which Forte contributed to – and once you add a dash of slapstick gore and a whole lot of heart, and you have Legions of fun!
In the film, “a powerful sorcerer, Antonio Poyju (Germán De Silva), is locked away in an asylum, and wastes away in his imprisonment as evil, demonic forces take control of Argentina. If Antonio can escape the psychiatric hospital and find his daughter, Helena, their combined strength could save Argentina… but Helena has forgotten her powers. Now Antonio must reteach her the ways of magic… and be humanity’s last hope against ancient evil!”
Written and directed by Fabián Forte, the film stars Germán de Silva, Ezequiel Rodriguez, and Lorena Vega and is produced by Javier Diaz.
This wildly acclaimed Argentinian folk-horror powderkeg is rich with cultural vibrancy, all the while dwelling on the important role of heritage and belief in the mystical.
Get ready for Legions, out January 19th!
