Screamfest Horror Film Festival stands as a cornerstone of the horror genre, boasting the largest and longest-running festival of its kind in the United States. You can learn more about this year’s festival by checking out the official site. Teques Chainsaw Massacre played on Friday, October 13. 

Director Rodrigo Hernández-Cruz, wrote this movie with Carlos Marín and Alfredo Mendoza, has created this horror comedy about film students who head to Teques, Mexico with soap opera actress Ana Cecilia Burgos (Jessica Ortiz) to make a horror movie. Reynaldo (Juan Ugarte) is the director who thinks he knows more than he thinks he does. Virginia (Tatiana del Real), Tania (Florencia Rios) and Pau (Danae Reymund) are the crew stuck with making his movie look good.

They soon learn that the movie that they are making is based on a real killer. And that killer? He’s hunting all of them one by one. This movie goes from comedy to straight up slasher and doesn’t look back. If you’re looking for gore, well, this has tons of the sangre y tripas.

Don’t get too attached to anyone in this.
