Last Friday, the apocalyptic supernatural Spanish horror film Everyone Will Burn was given a theatrical release in select locations (that is, New York, Los Angeles, and Austin) by Drafthouse Films. Now the film has made its way to VOD (it’s available on iTunes at THIS LINK), and to help you decide whether or not this is one you’d like to check out, we have the trailer embedded above.
David Hebrero, who has racked up many credits as a cinematographer and a gaffer, directed Everyone Will Burn from a screenplay he wrote with Javier Kiran. The story centers on María José, an outlier in her small Spanish town, who is grieving after her young son’s suicide. As she teeters on the brink of suicide herself, she encounters a mysterious young girl caked in dirt. It is quickly revealed that the girl has telekinetic powers and might be the harbinger of the apocalyptic prophecy that exists within town legend. Despite her penchant for violence, María José feels an instant kinship with the girl because, like her late son, she has dwarfism — and the two of them face off against the vitriolic community who want to nip the potential hellscape in the bud.
María José is played by Macarena Gómez, who genre fans may know from the likes of Dagon, Witching and Bitching, Sexy Killer: You’ll Die for Her, Shrew’s Nest, The Horror Network Vol. 1, 30 Coins, The Black Gloves, and/or Deep Fear. Newcomer Sofía García plays the mysterious young girl. Also in the cast are Rodolfo Sancho, Ana Milán, Rubén Ochandiano, Germán Torres, Ella Kweku, Raquel Lobelos, Fernando Cayo, and Saturnino García.
Hebrero and Kiran produced Everyone Will Burn with Enrique Garcia-Gasco and Deja Gordon. Hebrero made his feature directorial debut with the 2019 romance Dulcinea.
