Precious Blood

Horror is born from the apprehension we feel from darkness and the presence of the evil that we assume inhabits it. This assertion is transformed in a terrifying way if we discovered that darkness doesn’t reside outside the world, but it lies within us. This is the case of Sister Isabel, a nun cloistered in a world of men, but whose internal enigma pulses powerfully and uncontrolled, capable of violently gripping the souls of the righteous. Including Salazar, an extremely modern priest for his time and despite this, deeply lost in the maze of human confusion.
‘Precious Blood’ is a film that despite being setted in the past, builds ideas that today are more tangible than ever: how detached and alien we are to barbarism? To what extent do we depend on our imaginary and religious conceptions to scare away the true monsters that we have built in ourselves and in others? How is that we have allowed the figure of God to take us away from our earthly urgencies? Only an honest and deep exploration of human horror will empower the film in order to shake the viewer’s core, steering the film away from jump scares in favor of a deep exploration of ideas that will last in the human mind.
