Black Metal Meets Found Footage

Coming soon from writer and director Patricio Valladares is the all-female found footage film Invoking Yell, a screaming tribute to black metal with a dash or two of Satanic Panic. Valladares is a new and exciting voice who uses retro aesthetics to create a subversive piece of found footage.

Read the full synopsis:

Set in 1997 in the south of Chile, Invoking Yell is a love letter to black metal that follows a trio of metalhead twenty-something girls who venture into the woods to shoot the demo tape for their black metal band, Invoking Yell. However, things take a sinister turn as they document their disturbing and unorthodox process of recording paranormal phenomena to be used in the album’s final track.

In our review of the film from the 2023 Unnamed Footage Festival, Dread Central’s Mary Beth McAndrews wrote,

Invoking Yell is an exciting film that opens up new possibilities for found footage. Valladares shows how to make all-female found footage while tackling a subculture never seen in the subgenre. It’s violent, it’s creepy, it’s a shining example of contemporary international found footage.

María Jesús Marcone, Macarena Carrere, and Andrea Ozuljevich star in the film.

Invoking Yell comes to digital on September 20, 2024, from Welcome Villain Films.
