Bloody-Disgusting recently came across news of a Brazilian indie film titled ‘Beyond the Grave’. The horror-fantasy film was written by Davi de Oliveira Pinhero and stars Rafael Tombini as a vengeful cop named Lockheart. It is currently in post-production and looking for international distribution. Read on for more info on the film.

The storyline of ‘Beyond the Grave’ follows a dark journey through the wastelands of a dystopic Brazil. In the forsaken landscape, Lockheart will join forces with a group of survivors and face his demonic nemesis and the rage of the “returners” who inhabited the world.

Davi had this to say about the upcoming film.

This is not a zombie or serial killer film, but a reaction to the the recent production as well as to my own preconceptions of what the movie should be. It’s a violent and emotional experience, mixing possession, black magic, the living dead and intense doses of suspense, character work and spanking action.

Beyond the Grave is full of strong characters and cool set pieces that I have thought for a long time. It’s a real dream to be able to bring such intense images to the screen.

You can view the first full trailer for the film over at the official website.
