Tony Piantedosi, SVP of Acquisitions at Vertical Entertainment was quoted saying: "The Curse of La Patasola is a character-driven thriller that we feel is going to appeal to a wide audience. We were drawn to the story, mythology and the way the monster was brought to life—and think fans are really going to enjoy this film."
Reportedly shot over a 21-day period in a COVID-free ‘bubble’ just outside of Orlando, Florida.
The feature film directorial debut of actor-turned-director AJ Jones.
The film is based on "The Patasola," which is from South American folklore that details a monster that takes the form "of a beautiful and seductive woman, often in the likeness of a loved one, who lures a man away from his companions deep into the jungle. There, the Patasola reveals her true, hideous appearance as a one-legged creature with ferocious vampire-like lust for human flesh and blood, attacking and devouring the flesh or sucking the blood of her victims."
