Trailer For Horror Short Film LA NUEVA (THE NEWCOMER) a Mix of THE BREAKFAST CLUB, CARRIE, and EVIL DEAD

I’ve got a trailer here for you to watch for a creepy short film currently making the festival rounds. It’s titled La Nueva (The Newcomer), and it has just completed a year of successful distribution, visiting most of the best fantastic genre festivals in the world and becoming, thanks to its tour, the horror short film of the year. 

Since its premiere at the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival (considered by the specialized press as the best fantastic genre festival in the world), it has toured more than 250 international festivals in more than 30 countries. It has won more than 100 awards in all its technical sections, including the prestigious Stan Winston Golden Skull, the highest award for a horror short film at the "Screamfest" in Los Angeles (the oldest horror festival in the United States).

The short film is directed by Ivan Villamel (who already obtained great worldwide repercussion with his previous short film Mr.Dentonn), and co-written with Raul Cerezo (author of the feature films The Passenger and The Elderly). It is a horror story set in a religious high school, where a conflictive group of students will face a new teacher who is not what she seems.

Lots of tension and twists that keep the audience on edge, with references to 70's horror films, in a different slasher than usual. It has been described as a mix between The Breakfast Club + Carrie + Evil Dead.

This short film, starring Amaia Sagasti in the lead role of a teacher, and supported by a large group of brilliant young actors, is produced by the Spanish company Eye Slice Pictures.
