‘A Yard of Jackals’ Trailer: Tension Mounts in Tallinn Black Nights Frantic Psychological Thriller, From Chilean Newcomer Diego Figueroa (EXCLUSIVE)
The film bowed this week in Tallinn Competition ahead of Ventana Sur and its Chilean theatrical release via Storyboard Media.
Cryptic and gripping, the trailer glimpses the resounding suspense the film has in store, as Raúl’s once-tranquil existence fades into his self-inflicted obsession to prove that the atrocities close to home are real and that he’s in imminent danger. Both the trailer and the feature in full lead an audience to lean into Raúl’s predicament full-throttle, invited to embody him as an expertly crafted score, composed by Diego de la Fuente Curaqueo, amps up his distress. Each helicopter in the distance, each blood-curdling howl, each suspenseful dose of dissonance serves to intensify the film’s mental burden, creating a gut-wrenching abyss of mounting despair that nods to the era, 1978, when Chile was floundering under the hushed state violence of Augusto Pinochet.
