Guillermo Amoedo on His Haunting Horror Comeback ‘Loved Ones’: ‘Loving Someone, Becoming Friends, is a Death Sentence in This Place’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Amoedo's ‘Loved Ones’ will pitch at the upcoming Sanfic-Morbido Lab for Spanish-language genre projects in August.

“Fortunately, and despite the fact that many remakes and formula films are produced, the horror genre seems to be an inexhaustible source of new ideas and proposals that, when well done, attract large audiences with budgets that are usually tiny in most cases, in comparison with big Hollywood productions,” he continued. The narrative takes place post-apocalypse after the ghosts of deceased loved ones have decimated their living counterparts at the opposite end of any pure affection, leaving only the solemn, unloved and emotionally deficit behind to roam the bleak remnants of earth. Having lent his skills to productions in Latin America and abroad, Amoedo admits the genre is oft-subjugated to the industry side-eye and hopes adding to the canon of increasingly successful horror films will loosen the reins on producers who choose the tried and tested over more ingenious leaps outside the bounds.
