我有毒
I Am Toxic
Following the success of their feature debut Jennifer’s Shadow (2004) – an exercise in American Gothic set in a scary land called Argentina – Pablo Parés and Daniel de la Vega worked for a US company on a post-mega-disaster wasteland zombie film in which South America had been turned into an all-purpose,all-materials junkyard,with the undead as the last humane entities around (forget about the humans here!).The project never materialised,but Diego Parés,Pablo’s brother,started to write and draw a comic series based on the screenplay – which so far remains a ruin,as only parts were finished and published.The ECish beauty and balls of Diego P.’s labour of love have now been congenially transformed by the directorial duo into a delightfully old-(1970s)school low-budget production,closer to Romero and Dante than Fulci and Lenzi.And the IFFR audience is in for the treat of treats:they get to see the film and can also enjoy the unfinished comic in an exhibition.
