Making its premiere at Beyond Fest on October 6th, we're thrilled to host the teaser trailer premiere for Cristian Ponce’s terrifying disaster-horror film A MOTHER’S EMBRACE.
"From the director of the acclaimed Brazilian horror film HISTORY OF THE OCCULT, A MOTHER’S EMBRACE takes place in 1996 and follows a young firefighter and her team who are called to help an old folks' home that is at risk of flooding during the worst storm to ever hit Rio de Janeiro.
As they try their best to evacuate the elderly, the firefighter soon finds that something sinister is lurking beneath the surface, and the residents are not as innocent as they first seemed. Entangled in their web, she must fight through her own traumatic past to escape."
The film stars Marjorie Estiano, Chandelly Braz, Javier Drolas, Reynaldo Machado, Val Perré, Angela Rabello, Helena Varvaki, Rafael Canedo, Maria Volpe, Mel Nunes, and Thelmo Fernandes.
