Today, XYZ Films unleashed the first teaser and poster for the upcoming Mexican occult horror Huesera, the breakout feature debut from Michelle Garza Cervera, which will receive a theatrical release under their new distribution arm following the Tribeca Film Fest where it will make its world premiere as part of Tribeca’s Midnight section.
Garza Cervera, a rising young director in the Mexican genre film scene, has been recognized internationally for her celebrated short films that have played in over a hundred film festivals around the world, including Fantastic Fest, and the Fantasia International Film Festival, and Sitges.
In Huesera, Valeria’s (Natalia Solián) joy at becoming pregnant with her first child is quickly taken away when she’s cursed by a sinister entity. As danger closes in and relationships with her family become fractured, she’s forced deeper into a chilling world of dark magic that threatens to consume her. A group of witches emerges that could be her only hope for safety and salvation, but not without grave risk.
The chilling film stars Natalia Solián, Alfonso Dosal (Netflix’s Narcos: Mexico), Mayra Batalla (Prayers for the Stolen), Mercedes Hernández (Identifying Features), Aída López (Capadocia), and Martha Claudia Moreno.
Machete and Disruptiva co-produces with Señor Z, Maligno Gorehouse, IMCINE, Terminal, Simplemente, and Estudios Churubusco, and is co-written by Garza Cervera and Abia Castillo.
Huesera will be released theatrically in North America by XYZ Films following its global film festival run which begins with Tribeca on June 9, 2022.
