Dark Star Pictures has released the first trailer and official poster for The Last Matinee (Al morir la matinée), a Uruguay-Argentinian horror film.
The movie is about a killer who picks off unwitting and unknowing audience members in a local theatre — all during a movie’s final showing, thus the name, ‘The Last Matinee’. Of course, the few people who are actually in the theatre aren’t aware that something is about to go wrong — but, as the greenband trailer teases, the night is about to get particularly gruesome, and the projectionist’s daughter, who is running the screening in his absence, is the only one who notices something is wrong.
Watch a serial killer spread fear in a movie theatre as you sit on the edge of your seat the entire time. The trailer looks promising with regards to the slasher genre and will definitely keep you on your toes. The movie promises blood, gore and violence along with jarring, but beautifully made visuals.

It was written and directed by Maxi Contenti (Mueco viviente V, Neptunia). Producers on the project are Contenti, Alina Kaplan, and Luca Gaviglio Salkind.
The film was nominated for Best Latin American Film at the 2020 Mar del Plata International Film Festival and won Best Ibero-American Fantastic Film at the Curtas Festival do Imaxinario.
