A new poster for Nacho Cerdá’s The Abandoned - previously entitled “Bloodline” (Twitch articles: #3, #2, & #1) - has been added to the website of production company Filmax International (Sociedad General de Derechos Audiovisuales S.A.).

The screenplay for The Abandoned was written by Cerdá, Karim Hussain, and Richard Stanley. The movie apparently stars Anastasia Hille, Karel Roden, Carlos Reig, Valentin Ganev, Paraskeva Djukelova, Kalin Arsov, Svetlana Smoleva, and Anna Panayotova.

Below is a synopsis for The Abandoned from Filmax International’s website.

An American film producer named Marie returns to her homeland, Russia, where her mother’s dead body has been found under bizarre circumstances. She never knew her, having been adopted and brought to America as a baby. The only clue to what might have happened is an isolated, abandoned farm in the mountains that supposedly belonged to her natural parents.

Being the only next of kin, she inherits the place, but no one will take her there as local superstitions state that the area is… DAMNED. Only one man will embark on such a long and dangerous journey… A stranger that oddly seems to know quite a bit about her history… But once they arrive, the guide mysteriously disappears, forcing Marie to explore the derelict location alone. It is in ruins, scarred with evidence of savage violence.

She discovers someone else on the property… A man named Boris, who claims to have been lured there in exactly the same manner, so that he could discover the truth behind his unknown past as well.

They become stranded in the immense compound, plagued by terrifying, ghostly visions… The problem is that the ghosts that wander around are THEIR OWN. Dead replicas of themselves marauder between the buildings in the night…

Time begins to move in reverse as history re-lives itself in front of their very eyes. While both their ghosts, illustrating exactly how they will die, patiently await their living counterparts to expire.

Can they escape their destinies? Or kill their own ghosts?

A cycle of horror comes to fruition, as they discover the reason they have been summoned for this perverse reunion…

And the brutal secret behind their bloodline.

With so much amazing talent involved, why does this film look like yet another unnecessary and boring ghost story in the wake of J-horror? Somebody take this subgenre out back and shoot it in the head. Thanks.

The Teaser looks amazing…

Senior Cerda has demonstrated what he can do viscerally with Aftermath and Genesis, one raw and umcompromising and the other poetic. As an up and coming filmmaker, I envy his talents and look forward, with great anticipation, all of his future works…

I, for one, and one of many, of his captive audience....
