Billed as ‘The Evil Dead meets Latin America,’ Legions follows a powerful sorcerer, who is locked away in an asylum as evil, demonic forces take control of Argentina. If he can escape and find his daughter, their combined strength could save the country, but she has forgotten her powers. The sorcerer is forced to reteach her the ways of magic so they can be humanity’s last hope against the ancient evil.
It stars Germán De Silva and Lorena Vega and was produced by Javier Diaz of Coruya Films.
Director Forte previously directed Dead Man Tells His Own Tale and was an assistant director on Terrified, which was a Shudder original. Guillermo Del Toro was attached to produce its remake.
