"Thanks to The Horror Collective for giving DIABLO ROJO PTY new bus stops and giving tropical terror a chance to go further! I'm sure they are the best for our Panamanian horror movie and that makes me so happy!" adds director Sol Moreno.
“We couldn’t be happier!” exclaims producer J. Oskura Nájera. “Our bus is in the best hands! Shaked Berenson and Jonathan Barkan are undoubtedly the best who can drive a bus full of Panamanian frights to the audiences of Canada and the United States through the best crypts of North America.”
Jonathan Barkan, The Horror Collective’s VP, Acquisition and Distribution, Feature Films states, “Being a part of DIABLO ROJO PTY, Panama’s first horror film, is an incredible honor. This movie is a total throwback to the ‘80s horror films I grew up watching. It’s full of practical FX, has a great score, and is wicked amounts of fun! I can’t wait for North American audiences to see this one!”
