ANGEL NEGRO PREMIERES AT CANNES TODAY!

TROMA PRESENTS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL SOUTH AMERICAN HORROR FILM OF 2001

Cannes, May 22nd- Today at Cannes, Troma Entertainment proudly presents Angel Negro, a masterpiece in terror.  In the spirit of Hitchcock, Carpenter and Raimi, Angel Negro will bring you into a nightmare from which you may never awaken. 

A tragic accident leads to the disturbing disappearance of a ravishing young girl named Angel Cruz. This mysterious manifestation occurs on the evening of Angel’s high school graduation.  Did Angel Cruz vanish, or did she die? Ten years later, the bodies of Angel Cruz’ former classmates begin showing up....dead....very dead!  Is the ghost of Angel Cruz committing these murders, or has her spirit possessed some one still living?

One of Angel’s former classmates, Gabriel (Alvaro Morales), now a handsome forensic doctor, starts to investigate what is happening. He hopes to save himself and warn the rest of his former classmates. Will Gabriel uncover the truth of the Black Angel….or will he die trying? Can he stop loving her?

The brilliant anti-dictatorship symbolism combined with the frightening terror has rendered Angel Negro a major milestone for independent filmmaking around the world.  The first feature length horror movie from Chile, a country formerly unable to produce such films due to the Pinochet dictatorship, Angel Negro has received tremendous critical acclaim. It was South America’s huge box office success of the year 2000. A major suspense film with a brilliant cast, stylish cinematography, and directed by a bright new talent from South America, Jorge Olguin, Angel Negro has been an official selection at numerous prestigious film festivals around the world, including Sitges (Spain), Fantasia (Canada), Fantasporto (Portugal), and the Fantafestival (Rome).

Perversely romantic and somatically terrifying, Angel Negro is a horror movie you will never forget.
