It was announced today that One-Eyed Films has acquired international rights to “No morire sola” (I WILL NEVER DIE ALONE), from Argentinian horror outfit Paura Flics, while also revealing that plans are underway to bring Coffin Joe to the big screen in America with his first English-language pic tentatively titled THE BITTER GARDEN. Read on for the skinny, and details on a big sale to IFC...

ALONE, from Argentine director Adrian Garcia Bogliano (the madman behind the incredible ROOMS FOR TOURISTS), is an extreme rape revenge thriller in which a gaggle of femme victims travel to a small town in the La Plata region to exact bloody vengeance. The pic will be finished this October and ready to deliver to One-Eyed.

The pick-up continues One-Eyed’s crusade to push Latin American genre movie-making.

One-Eyed repped “Tourists” and Bogliano’s sophomore sally, the tongue-in-cheek five blonde girls slasher “36 Steps.”

“36 Steps” has sold to Tiberius for Germany, Condor Media in the U.S. and Spain’s Factoria de Canales.

In other major news, One-Eyed, a production and sales company, has also sold a nine pic package, the Coffin Joe Horror Collection, to U.S. cabler IFC. Collection features the dastardly deacon of Latino gothic horror, Coffin Joe, created by vet Mojica Marins. Titles include “Awakening of the Beast” and the memorably titled “This Night I Will Enter your Corpse.”

“IFC had acquired three titles previously and their ratings surprised the channel,” said Goldman.

One-Eyed, which has set up a production outfit in Sao Paulo to make genre films, is currently developing the first English-language film featuring the character of Coffin Joe, which is tentatively titled THE BITTER GARDEN.

	slates81 7:06pm, August 13, 2008 PROFILE - MESSAGE - REPORT As delightful a title as it is, there is sadly no Coffin Joe film titled "This Night I Will Enter Your Corpse"; the correct title is "This Night I Will Possess Your Corpse". If you guys need a fact-checker, I work for donuts and promo DVD's and I'm very, very good. Think about it.

	milkman 8:35pm, August 13, 2008 PROFILE - MESSAGE - REPORT It's about time Coffin Joe got some recognition. His films are not easy to come by. "At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul Away" is a classic - and it is the only one I've seen! Anybody out there have copies?
	j.c 4:59am, August 14, 2008 PROFILE - MESSAGE - REPORT I have the Coffin Joe boxset that was released awhile back. It contains At Midnight Ill Take Your Soul, This Night Ill Possess Your Corpse and Awakening of the Beast. All packaged in a cool coffin shape box and containing 3 reprints of the Coffin Joe comics. Cool stuff!
