Director Zev Berman teams with screenwriter Eric Poppen to explore the occult-based Mexican border-town murder spree that claimed the lives of 60 innocents between January and March of 1989 alone. Graduation is drawing near and the spring breeze is blowing, what better time for three thrill-seeking Texas University students to make a run for the border to celebrate with one last wild weekend of drinking and debauchery? Though all the elements were in place for the perfect weekend getaway, this hard-partying trio is about to find out just how quickly things can take a turn for the worse when you're a stranger in a strange land. Upon running afoul of an ancient blood cult in search of the perfect human sacrifice, the three unsuspecting students are abducted and prepared for the ritualistic execution that will give Mexican drug runners supernatural protection that reaches above and beyond the laws of man. Sean Astin, Rider Strong, and Jake Muxworthy star in an ominous tale of occult bloodletting inspired by actual events. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A transgendered cabaret artist switches gender again to help out a friend in this comedy of errors from Puerto Rico. Manuela (Humberto Busto) was born a man but has always felt more comfortable as a woman, and has been living as a female for years. Manuela makes her living singing in a San Juan nightspot, but lately she hasn't felt very celebratory since a bad breakup with her boyfriend. One day Manuela gets a visit from her good friend Coca (Elena Iguina), who is in a panic -- she's just discovered she's pregnant, which will enrage her father (Emmanuel "Sunshine" Logroño), a staunchly conservative member of the military. Coco needs someone to pose as her fiancé as she breaks the news to her dad, and she begs Manuela to put on her former male persona and pretend to be the father of her child. Despite her deep misgivings, Manuela agrees, but finds that switching back and forth between her masculine and feminine sides is far more difficult than she expected. Manuela y Manuel received its American premiere at the 2007 American Film Institute Festival, where it was screened as part of the "Latin Showcase" program. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
