“This vision that haunts you. It just means you’re part of this family.” Magnolia Pictures has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror film from Portugal titled Amelia’s Children, set for release in March in the US. This already opened in Portugal in January after premiering there at a genre festival last year. The latest from the filmmaker behind Diamantino. When Edward’s search for his biological family leads him to a remote, mysterious villa in the mountains in Northern Portugal, he’s thrilled to meet his long-lost mother and twin brother. However, he soon learns that he’s linked to them by a scary monstrous secret. The horror film stars Brigette Lundy-Paine, Carloto Cotta, Anabela Moreira, Alba Baptista, and Rita Blanco. This doesn’t look as good as it should, too many underlit scenes and generic scares about creepy family ties.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Gabriel Abrantes’ Amelia’s Children, direct from YouTube:
