As per Variety, U.S. sales company Shoreline Entertainment has nabbed the worldwide rights to Chilean horror flick Yokai from first-time director Cristobal Echevensko. This marks the very first Latin American film that the company has ever scooped up.
“As the buzz is building on Latin American genre films, I thought it was important that our first move into that sector was a game changing film,” said executive VP Sam Eigen.
Penned by Echevensko and described as a story of suspense with supernatural elements of terror, Yokai centers on Lydia, a 28-year-old employee of a jewelry store who tries to steal a valuable diamond from a man named Yokai. Yokai is a serial killer in his spare time, living at home with all the ghosts of his victims.
