Earlier this year, it was revealed that Shudder had acquired Issa Lopez’s interesting festival hit Tigers Are Not Afraid as an exclusive to their streaming service, after a limited (and possibly expanded) theatrical release beginning on August 23rd.
Today they released their first official trailer, along with a new poster for the movie.
Shudder’s official description for the film reads, “A haunting horror fairytale set against the backdrop of Mexico’s devastating drug wars, Tigers Are Not Afraid follows a group of orphaned children armed with three magical wishes, running from the ghosts that haunt them and the cartel that murdered their parents. Filmmaker Issa López creates a world that recalls the early films of Guillermo del Toro, imbued with her own gritty urban spin on magical realism to conjure a wholly unique experience that audiences will not soon forget.”
Reviews from the festival circuit have been overwhelmingly positive, with Stephen King and Guillermo Del Toro lending their names to quotes for the new trailer.
