Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some news from the world of crazy-man Alex De la Iglesia (800 BALAS, EL CRIMEN FERPECTO, ACCION MUTANTE, DAY OF THE BEAST to name a few). I love Iglesia's films... he's got this amazing darkly comedic tint he puts on everything that works so damn well. He's now doing an English language flick based on the novel OXFORD MURDERS by Guillermo Martinez, retitled OXFORD CRIMES. At the Seville European Film Festival, Iglesia spilled some info on it, which Variety got ahold of. It's about a serial killer who specializes in murders so subtle that many go unrecognized.
Any new film from Alex De la Iglesia is one to be excited about. I recently rewatched 800 BALAS and was blown away again. That's such a brilliant character movie... so funny, but it doesn't feel like a comedy. How does he do it? What do you folks think?
