Synopsis
“Last night I dreamt that they had returned, I have the feeling that something is about to happen”. The last horror script written by José Ramón Larraz (Barcelona, 1928) alongside some excerpts from his films immerses us in the dreamy and mysterious world of this author, investigating the origins of his lifelong love of fear. His 2009 trip to the International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia (Sitges) to receive an honorary prize for his cult movie “Vampyres” –and for the whole of his career as well- shows Larraz as a craftsman of stories, but also reveals his own to be quite the material of one of his own fictions.
