A chilling descent into familial horror, Rosario marks Felipe Vargas’ haunting feature directorial debut. The recently released trailer has sent shivers down spines, showcasing an eerie and downright terrifying glimpse into a world where the past refuses to stay buried and supernatural terrors reign.
An Evil Unleashed
Emeraude Toubia plays the titular character, Rosario, a successful stockbroker on Wall Street. However, her world is thrown into disarray when she’s forced to spend a night with the body of her estranged grandmother, Griselda, who has abruptly passed away. Adding to the unsettling atmosphere, David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil) portrays Joe, a watchful and unsettling neighbor, while José Zúñiga plays Rosario’s father, Oscar. Diana Lein and Paul Ben-Victor round out the talented cast.
The film’s premise sets the stage for a claustrophobic and intensely suspenseful narrative. A heavy snowstorm traps Rosario inside Griselda’s apartment, isolating her from the outside world and amplifying her growing dread. As the night stretches on, Rosario finds herself confronted by supernatural forces that have taken possession of Griselda’s corpse.
What begins as a somber vigil quickly becomes a terrifying battle for survival. Rosario discovers that she has become the target of a deadly family curse—a generational evil that threatens to consume her soul. To break this curse and save herself, she must confront the dark secrets of her past. She will have to challenge everything she thought she knew about her family.
A Chilling Vision
