We at HorrorBuzz are in a very cool position. We get to see a lot of movies and meet a ton of new filmmakers from, literally, all over the world. So you can understand our excitement when director Ivan Villamel reached out to us in hopes of premiering his latest horror short right here on our site.

Mr. Dentonn is a brand new horror short that harkens back to the spooky days of 80’s horror cinema to deliver a terrifying tale. The titular monster is summoned after a bedtime story is read. His one goal is to torment and terrify children, thereby stealing their innocence. We present to you, Mr. Dentonn.

 

“Mr.Dentonn” – Horror/Fantasy Short from Iván Villamel on Vimeo.

Mr.Dentonn, directed by Ivan Villamel, produced by Harmonica Films & Mordisco Films, and played by Irene Aguilar, Kaiet Rodriguez and Ander Pardo, has broken records in its genre, becoming the most awarded and selected horror short film of all time worldwide, with 500 official selections and more than 120 international awards, in addition to more than 1200 award nominations and 1500 screenings around the world.

Mr.Dentonn is a tribute to the fantastic cinema of the 80’s, a game of references that wants to transport a whole generation to the same sensations they had when they were children. The short film is influenced by the first films of John Carpenter, filmmaker who admire its creators, and the films of the Amblin factory. Uses the classic figure of the boogeyman to show to the audience a very original version of the myth, making him a thief of souls. A small 10-minute film, for all ages, evocative and imaginative. Its creators are already working to find funding for the feature film project of “Dentonn”, where it could fully develop the mythology of the character.

Thank you to Ivan Villamel for reaching out and letting us have this opportunity to share a new horror movie with the world. More, please!
