Coming-of-age dystopian zombie film Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse will be released on demand on June 3 from Firebook Entertainment.
From the executive producers of Huesera: The Bone Woman, the Mexican production is written and directed by Isaac Ezban (The Similars, Parallel).
In a dystopian future ravaged by a viral apocalypse, three young brothers find themselves isolated in a remote cabin deep. As they navigate this desolate world, they harbor a dark and disturbing secret in their basement—a presence they must feed to ensure their own survival.
Farid Escalante Correa, Leonardo Cervantes, and Mateo Ortega Casillas star with Norma Flores, Horacio F. Lazo, Carla Adell, Juan Carlos Remolina (“Who Killed Sara?”), and Noé Hernández (“Narcos: Mexico”).
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of Fantasia, “This coming-of-age horror fantasy gets bleak, as dystopian tales tend to, with Ezban plunging three young boys into gruesome, harrowing scenarios. But it’s offset with bursts of levity, whimsy, and a sense of impressive style that sets this post-apocalyptic story apart, even when familiar hallmarks creep in.”
