David Dastmalchian Leads in Chilling Possessed Grandmother Horror Film ‘Rosario’
In an exciting development in the world of horror cinema, a “high concept horror film” titled “Rosario” is set to grace the screens, featuring a talented ensemble cast. The film stars David Dastmalchian (known for his roles in “The Boogeyman” and “Late Night with the Devil”) alongside José Zúñiga (“Twilight”), Diana Lein (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Paul Ben-Victor (“The Irishman”), Emilia Faucher (“CODA”), and Emeraude Toubia (“Shadowhunters”), according to a report by Variety.
The narrative of “Rosario” is situated in New York and centers on Rosario, portrayed by Emeraude Toubia, a highly successful Wall Street stockbroker who becomes trapped in her estranged grandmother Griselda’s apartment during a snowstorm. The situation takes a chilling turn as Griselda has passed away, and her corpse falls under the grip of supernatural forces. Rosario finds herself the target of a deadly family curse, and she must confront her own past to save both herself and her soul.
The screenplay for “Rosario” was penned by Alan Trezza, known for “We Summon the Darkness.” This film will also mark the feature directorial debut of Colombian filmmaker Felipe Vargas, who has previously worked on “Milk Teeth.”
Arianne Fraser, CEO of Highland Film Group, expressed their anticipation, stating, “We cannot wait for cameras to roll on this smart and chilling film in the vein of the Blumhouse movies.”
Highland Film Group is responsible for worldwide sales of “Rosario” at AFM 2023, adding to the excitement surrounding this upcoming horror offering.
