‘Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse’ Clip Feeds the Beast in the Basement [Exclusive]

From  Evil Eye and The Similars writer-director Isaac Ezban comes a new coming-of-age horror story in Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse. An exclusive new clip introduces the dystopian world from the eyes of children.

Párvulos releases in theaters this Friday, April 4.

About the film, “In a dystopian future ravaged by a viral apocalypse, three young brothers—Salvador, Oliver, and Benjamin—find themselves isolated in a remote cabin deep within the woods. As they navigate this desolate world, they harbor a dark and disturbing secret in their basement, a presence they must feed to ensure their own survival.”

Farid Escalante Correa, Leonardo Cervantes, and Mateo Ortega Casillas star alongside Norma Flores, Horacio F. Lazo, Carla Adell, Juan Carlos Remolina (“Who Killed Sara?”), and Noé Hernández (“Narcos: Mexico”).

I wrote in my review out of Fantasia, “This coming-of-age horror fantasy gets bleak, as dystopian tales tend to, with Ezban plunging three young boys into gruesome, harrowing scenarios. But it’s offset with bursts of levity, whimsy, and a sense of impressive style that sets this post-apocalyptic story apart, even when familiar hallmarks creep in.”

It’s a viral outbreak dystopian horror movie framed from the eyes of children and a fairytale-like lens.

Watch the new clip below, which sees the older brothers out scavenging for supplies, unaware that the youngest has snuck into the basement to feed a lethal beast being held captive in a cage.
