No Abras la Puerta by Mexican director Humberto Hinojosa, and co-produced by Tigre Pictures and Filmadora, premiered on ViX+ on November 30. The film’s producer Marco Polo Constandse, partner of Filmadora, assured that they are proud of this movie he describes as the more distinct horror film they have made, which involved great challenges.
“This is our last release of the year, the third project in which we work in collaboration with Tigre Pictures – owned by Beto Hinojosa and Pablo García -a creative relationship that we value very much because they offer us stories that we are not doing at Filmadora. Beyond being a great director, Beto has a visual freshness that we highly value,” he said.
This is Filmadora’s second production for ViX+, after Enfermo Amor, its third horror film after Más Negro que la Noche and Vuelven.
The film idea was by Tigre Producciones, while its development, search for resources and post-production of Filmadora. “It was challenging to make terror believable in a world increasingly cynical and where there is a collective of images in our heads, which makes it more difficult to surprise the viewer. Another challenge was the cast, since our main characters are two teenagers. Fortunately, we found Iñaki Godoy and Ximena Lamadrid. Another simpler challenge was the world around it, in which we had the opportunity to work with excellent talent with great acting quality.”
This cast included Alberto Guerra, Rubén Zamora, Carolina Politi, Enrique Arreola, Mauro González, Hernán del Riego, Roberto Quijano and Elena de Haro. “It’s amazing to have these two young actors and surround ourselves with these great talents,” Constandse said.
He mentioned that with the direction of Beto Hinojosa and the photography of Marc Bellver they were able to create the perfect environment for terror. “What we did was set it on a non-specific city, without iconography that suggested it is Mexico City, just to make the viewer feel that what they see is possible. The locations in which we used were also very important to elicit this atmosphere,” he explained, after noting that Rodrigo Dávila’s music was another element that added a plus, along with the visual effects.
“We combine digital visual effects with special effects on set. This combination allows for a realism that cannot be accomplished only with digital effects,” he commented.
