SYNAPSE FILMS Rewards Fantastic Fest Favorite ADRIAN GARCIA BOGLIANO with Triple-Crown Feature Film Pickup

ROMULUS, MI — September 28, 2011 — Synapse Films has snared rights to three ter­ri­fy­ing fea­ture films by cel­e­brated Fantastic Fest and SXSW film­maker Adrián García Bogliano, the Argentine direc­tor of fes­ti­val favorite COLD SWEAT and the upcom­ing PENUMBRA, grabbed by IFC Midnight on the eve of the film’s Fantastic Fest world première.

In ROOMS FOR TOURISTS a bus­load of girls fall prey to a town of ter­ror… what con­nects the vic­tims? The young film­maker of WATCH’EM DIE takes a job that leads to hor­ror. Four young girls stop to help a woman in the street and it leads to rape hor­ror and death in the breath-stopping I WILL NOT DIE ALONE.

“I am a huge fan of Adrian’s films and have seen every sin­gle one. I feel that he may be the most tal­ented new film­maker I have come across,” enthuses Synapse head Jerry Chandler. “He is a mas­ter of mak­ing the most of minis­cule bud­gets and his atten­tion to detail is unmatched. I was hooked when I first saw ROOMS FOR TOURISTS—the atmos­pheric dread is pal­pa­ble early on. I WILL NOT DIE ALONE is some­what sim­i­lar to I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, only it’s a great movie! And WATCH’EM DIE is much more fun to watch than Hostel or its myr­iad imitations.”

Synapse Films exec Jerry Chandler nego­ti­ated the deal with the filmmaker.

Synapse Films has recently released brand-new remas­tered Blu-ray releases of James Glickenhaus’ THE EXTERMINATOR, William Lustig’s MANIAC COP, and Frank Henenlotter’s FRANKENHOOKER, with Tarantino-producer Lawrence Bender’s INTRUDER out this December.
