Argentine genre siblings Nicolas and Luciano Onetti are celebrating the completion of their latest horror opus WHAT THE WATERS LEFT BEHIND (a.k.a LOS OLVIDADOS), with the UK release of their sophomore feature FRANCESCA which hits UK DVD/Bluray shelves this week, starting July 3rd.
If FRANCESCA is the ultimate homage to Italian giallo crime thrillers of the 60’s and 70’s made popular by Mario Bava and Dario Argento, then WHAT THE WATERS LEFT BEHIND is the ultimate homage to American backwoods horror of the 70’s and 80’s with strong references to Tobe Hooper’s seminal The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes.
For those looking to discover the Onetti’ brothers before WHAT THAT WATERS LEFT BEHIND hits the festival circuit, the UK DVD and Bluray of FRANCESCA is available to buy now from Amazon.
