Black Mandala and producer/filmmaker Nicolás Onetti (“What the Waters Left Behind,” “Abrakadabra”) have completed filming for the sequel to the 2022 supernatural film "The Red Book Ritual." Titled "The Red Book Ritual 2: The Gate of Hell," the sequel was shot in Paraguay, in English, targeting an English-speaking audience. The film stars local talents Mario Martí, Lizzie Gómez, Tainá Lipinski, Matías Miranda, Lucía Báez, and Bianca Vacchetta.
The story follows a group of people who gather in a grand mansion—site of a past massacre—to perform the ritual of the 'Red Book.' With the help of spirits, they attempt to reconnect with their deceased loved ones. However, by opening the door to the unknown, they risk unleashing a terrifying fate, as the dead walk among the living. To start the ritual, an old red-covered book, devoid of any markings, is used as a channel for spirits. The room must be dark, illuminated only by red candles.
The sequel to the movie "The red book ritual" titled "The red book ritual 2: The gate of Hell," has completed its filming in locations around Asunción. This marks the beginning of a series of collaborations aimed at making Paraguay a hub for horror film production and boosting the work of local talents who have long been developing projects related to horror and thriller genres.
The project, entirely shot in English and primarily aimed at the English-speaking market, stars local talents Mario Martí, Lizzie Gómez, Tainá Lipinski, Matías Miranda, Lucía Báez, and Bianca Vacchetta.
Behind the project are the companies Black Mandala Films, which produced the first part of the aforementioned feature film and is led by producer Michael Kraetzer (New Zealand) and Argentine director Nicolás Onetti (“What the Waters Left Behind,” “Abrakadabra”), as well as Urban Achievers S.A. (Paraguay), headed by René Ruiz Díaz.
The team responsible for the highly anticipated horror film includes the crew that carried out the national films “Morgue” and the upcoming “No Entres.”
The movie “The red book ritual” was distributed in more than 100 countries and had wide distribution on platforms.
The production is scheduled to release this wild horror movie in the first half of 2025.
