‘Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse’ Trailer Shows Zombie Dystopia from Kids’ Perspective

The cure is worse than the disease in the trailer for Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse.

The Mexican coming-of-age post-apocalyptic zombie film opens in select theaters on April 4 from Firebook Entertainment.

From the executive producers of Huesera: The Bone Woman, it’s written and directed by Isaac Ezban (The Similars, Parallel).

In a dystopian future ravaged by a viral apocalypse, three young brothers find themselves isolated in a remote cabin deep. As they navigate this desolate world, they harbor a dark and disturbing secret in their basement—a presence they must feed to ensure their own survival.

Farid Escalante Correa, Leonardo Cervantes, and Mateo Ortega Casillas star with Norma Flores, Horacio F. Lazo, Carla Adell, Juan Carlos Remolina (“Who Killed Sara?”), and Noé Hernández (“Narcos: Mexico”).

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of Fantasia, “This coming-of-age horror fantasy gets bleak, as dystopian tales tend to, with Ezban plunging three young boys into gruesome, harrowing scenarios. But it’s offset with bursts of levity, whimsy, and a sense of impressive style that sets this post-apocalyptic story apart, even when familiar hallmarks creep in.”

Following its premiere at Fantasia, the festival favorite played Fantastic Fest, Sitges, Morbido Film Fest, and FrighFest, among others.
