Twitch, in association with GOMORRAHY.com, is now providing a downloadable version of the first trailer for Jorge Algora's Spanish-Argentine psychological thriller The Mudboy (El niño de barro) - a.k.a. "The Mud Boy" (alternative spelling) - that's much larger (320 x 239 vs. 196 x 110) than the one on the official website for the movie. Filmax (Sociedad General de Derechos Audiovisuales S.A.) is scheduled to release the movie theatrically in Spain on May 18th.
As was previously reported here on ScreenAnarchy, the screenplay for The Mudboy was written by Algora, Christian Busquier, and Héctor Carré. The movie stars Maribel Verdú as Estela, Daniel Freire as Petrie, Chete Lera as Dr. Soria, Juan Ciancio as Mateo, César Bordón as Octavio, Abel Ayala as Cayetano, Rolly Serrano as Blas, Oscar Alegre as Valentín, and Sergio Boris as Palacios.
Here's a synopsis for The Mudboy from the official website for the movie: "Based on a true story.
Buenos Aires, 1912. A series of brutal murders are sweeping the town.
Mateo (Juan Ciancio), a 10-year-old boy, holds a secret: sometimes his mind guides him to a dark place in his memory where he is eyewitness to a series of murders.
When his secret is revealed, many people think he is the murderer.
Estela, his mother (Maribel Verdú), with the help of a forensic policeman named Dr. Soria (Chete Lera), tries to find a rational explanation for the visions and then challenge the scepticism of Petrie (Daniel Freire), the police inspector.
Meanwhile murders continue... And chaos takes hold of the situation."
