Porto Alegre, BR — HellBent Pictures is excited to announce the Latin American Premiere of Evan Marlowe’s life-sized puppet horror Abruptio at Fantaspoa, Brazil’s acclaimed genre festival returning to in-person screenings. Comedy, mystery, blood, A-List voices, action, and puppets combine in the first-of-its-kind surrealistic horror/thriller.
Abruptio features the voice talents of James Marsters (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), Hana Mae Lee (Pitch Perfect), Jordan Peele (Nope), Christopher McDonald (The Faculty), Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Darren Darnborough (“True Blood”), Rich Fulcher (“Rick and Morty”), and the iconic Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses) in one of his final roles.
After years in production, Abruptio is screening at festivals around the world. At Kansas City’s Panic Fest, Marlowe took home the Audience Award for Best FX, Feature Film. The film will next screen in person at Fantaspoa on April 28 and April 30.
