Paco Plaza

returns with another of his horror films "a la española".

After hits like the

REC

zombie saga

or the story based on true events

of

Verónica,

on October 22 will premiere

La abuela

, of which EL MUNDO premieres its first trailer.

The movie

tells the story of Susana, forced to return from Paris, where she works as a model, to take care of her grandmother after suffering a stroke.

What begins as a quiet coexistence with the woman who was for her as a mother, ends up turning into a paranormal nightmare.

The script is written by

Carlos Vermut

, who won the Golden Shell of San Sebastián with the peculiar

Magical Girl,

and who has directed films such as

Who will sing,

with the participation of Najwa Nimri.

Almudena Amor and Vera Valdez will give life to the two protagonists of the film: the first makes her debut as an actress, adding this project to another that will be released in the autumn by Fernando León de Aranoa;

Valdez is a Brazilian actress known for being Coco Chanel's fetish model

.

Paco Plaza was born in Valencia in 1973. He graduated in Information Sciences from the University of Valencia and from the ECAM (Escuela Superior de Cine y Audiovisuales de la Comunidad de Madrid) and began his career with some short films such as

Abuelitos

or

Romepepié

, that opened doors for him at different festivals. In 2001, his first feature film,

The Children of Abraham

, received the Great European Fantastic Film Award at the Sitges Film Festival;

however it was the

REC

trilogy

that catapulted him to fame

as a chilling director.

He continued that renown through the story of Verónica, the young Vallecana who played the

ouija board

cost her her life

: a production that received 7 Goya nominations.

His latest film moved away from the horror genre, but it remained unsettling;

Together with Luis Tosar, he premiered

Quien a Hiermata

, an original way of tackling drug trafficking in Galicia.

Now he returns to fiction with

La Abuela

, a film that promises, at least, a good dose of scares.
