Many thanks go out to Aaron Soto for passing along word of upcoming Mexican thriller Bajo La Sal (or Under The Salt), a dark murder mystery about to hit Mexican screens. Starring Humberto Zurita - a leading Mexican actor of the 70s and 80s - and Blanca Guerra - who you may remember from Santa Sangre - the film revolves around a series of corpses discovered buried in a salt mine. If the trailer is to be believed this is one seriously well made, very creepy piece of work and Warner Brothers' Mexican arm certainly seems to think they've got a major picture on their hands here: they're running the trailer for it in front of Mexican screenings of The Dark Knight.
A series of murders leads commander TRUJILLO to Santa Rosa de la Sal a town close to a salt mine, where he meets VÍCTOR ZEPEDA - a lonely teenager who works in his father funeral home and spends his free time making crude animated horror films - who's strange behavior seems to point at him as the culprit of the crimes.
