Incidente<\/strong> (Argentina-2011; dir. Mariano Cattaneo)<\/p>\n

Argentinian writer\/director Mariano Cattaneo and his crew have recently completed work on a zombie horror film that takes a camera verit\u00e9 or “faux documentary” approach to the genre, in the obvious tradition of [Rec<\/em>] (Spain-2007; dir. Jaume Balaguer\u00f3 and Paco Plaza) and its Hollywood remake Quarantine<\/em> (US-2008; dir. John Erick Dowdle), with their on-the-spot doco\/news reporter. Before those, of course, there was … well, I don’t really have to mention The Blair Witch Project<\/em>, do I?<\/p>\n

Apart from the “fake doco” horror standards, director Cattaneo also lists other influences, namely Demons<\/em> by Lamberto Bava, and the Stephen King novel Desperation.<\/em> In fact he sees Incidente<\/em> as a demonic film rather than one that features mind-destroying infection (such as 28 Days Later…<\/em>) or zombies as such. Here, demons are “using humans as clothing”. In essence the film is about a demon-ridden building. (Source<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Set in an abandoned five-story factory, Incidente<\/em> was filmed in what almost amounts to real-time:<\/p>\n

The film was made, between rehearsals and filming, over three weekends and one evening for scenes in the beginning: the police presentation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He sees it as a way of pushing Argentinian cinema in new and exciting directions.<\/p>\n
