Portugal is a small when it comes to producing horror films, most of them come in the form of shorts, just like “Papa Wrestling” and “Banana Motherfucker”, and this one(judging by the trailer) looks like one hell of a fun ride in all it’s 70s grindhouse fuelled glory. Something the horror fan base should definitely sink their teeth in.
