“A fine day for an exorcism”, says the gentle plasticine creature tied to the bed in a diabolical scene from this animated movie which, to the surprise of some (our folk thought that a mixture of this kind could never exist and even that it was impossible) combines stop motion and gore in a delightful sleight of the hand which, as the red-splattered trailer shows or damns, started one “good day” and went on with a “bad day” that set off “another day”. The movie by Sam, Samuel Ortí Martí –author of Vicenta (2010), winner of 70 awards, 70– is produced, check this out, by Basque Films and Conflictivos Productions and the voices of Trini, Gregorio, Damian, Father Lenin and so on are provided by Mariví Bilbao, Álex Angulo (see you up there friends!), Concha Goyanes, Santiago Segura and Josema Yuste.
