The Beckoning: First Preview
From Spanish director Elio Quiroga, here’s come a ghost story with international title “The Beckoning” aka “No Do”. Quiroga was well known before with his film “La Hora Fria” (The Cold Hours), a stunning little post apocalyptic genre bender revolving around a small band of humans trying to survive in an underground bunker after a catastrophic event unleashed both aliens and zombie-like hordes upon the earth.
With a story that revolves around ghosts, the Spanish civil war, and a series of secret, hidden documentary films the basic synopsis sounds equal parts Flicker and The Devil’s Backbone, here’s the relevant bits of the press release:
Shot in Spanish with substantial high-tech effects, “NO-DO” is a horror story in which a woman sees ghosts. The explanation to their appearance lies in an old NO-DO newsreel (i.e., one of the state-sanctioned documentaries made during Franco’s regime).
The film speculates around the little known “Secret NO-DOs”, made in the 40s for the Catholic Church in Spain. It is told that those confidential films were used by exorcists to document supernatural events using a special film emulsion designed for this purpose. Some “Secret NO-DOs” are rumored to be stored in subterranean vaults in the Congregazione del Santo Uffizio, Rome, but its existence is officialy denied by catholic church leaders.
