Description

The Phantom of the Monastery on Blu-ray

The Phantom of the Monastery(US Standard Edition)

Director: Fernando de Fuentes

Cast: Enrique del Campo, Marta Roel, Carlos Villatoro, Paco Martínez, Victorio Blanco

Made in the wake of La Llorona’s success and directed with flair by Fernando de Fuentes (regarded as one of the masters of early Mexican cinema), The Phantom of the Monastery (El fantasma del convento) tells the macabre tale of a troupe of hikers who become lost in a forest and take refuge in a haunted monastery. There, they encounter shape-shifting shadows, ominous sealed doorways, and a cellar crowded with coffins...

An expressionistic Gothic triumph which has tragically languished in obscurity outside of Mexico, The Phantom of the Monastery has now been lovingly restored and is presented on Blu-ray at long last in a world debut edition, with a selection of illuminating extras.
