Written by Javier Velasquez, the plot is based on urban legends in the city's main cemetery.
General Cemetery is the first full-length horror film in Peru. The film includes extensive found footage scenes, a new film style in the country.
Premise
Set in Iquitos, the story follows Andrea (Airam Galliani), a 15-year-old girl, who suffers after the death of her father. Her friends from school convince her to try and contact her father using a ouija board. However, this triggers a series of terrifying events.
Production
General Cemetery was conceived in early 2011. The story is based in urban legends about the city's main cemetery, which were condensed in the script, and compacted to the investigation of facts.
Airam Galliani was selected to her role, when Fernandez-Moris found her in the Ensamble acting workshop.
Attempting to follow the found footage style, Fernández-Moris was influenced by Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield, REC and The Blair Witch Project.
