It's been a long time coming, but the release date of December 12th has finally been set for Paco Cabezas first feature length project, the road movie horror Aparecidos (The Appeared). A Spanish/Argentine co-production the movie stars Ruth Díaz (Malena) and Javier Pereira (Pablo).

Synopsis: Malena and Pablo, two brothers travelling in Argentina, discover a diary that documents horrendous crimes committed by the author 20 years ago. The night after the discovery, a family is killed following in an identical manner to one incidence in the diary. Now Malena and Pablo need to discover what is real and what isn't. Something dead from the past, is now in the present.

There were reports that IFC films had bought the U.S. rights to the film, but nothing seems to have come of that as yet. So now that the Spanish opening date is set we just need some bright, forward thinking and enlightened film buyer (hint, hint) from an English speaking country, to pick up the film. Below we've included links to the latest official trailer, plus a few new chilling clips, for good measure.
