The Squad, a Colombian horror flick that hit Fantastic Fest earlier this year, didn’t generate all that much buzz at the Austin, Texas event. Those who caught it called it a drag and uneven. Well, a trailer has come along for you to check out. You’ll find it inside.
Jaimie Osorio Marquez’s film is In the foggy mountains of Colombia where nine soldiers trudge through muddy terrain in search of an outpost that they believe has been invaded by guerrillas. As they approach their target, one of them is brutally injured, forcing them to prematurely enter the base instead of waiting for backup. Once inside, they’re greeted a pile of dead bodies and a series of ritualistic markings meant to ward off the devil. After discovering a lone, traumatized survivor and a cryptic event log, the men wait, sifting through their own differences with each other. Trapped, confused and cut off from the outside world, they begin to feel the strain of isolation closing in around them. They’ll grasp at anything to resolve what happened thereâ¦and what is going to happen to them.
