Synopsis/Details
A DPS Agent investigates discrepancies in the ‘El Cuco’ murders. Assisted by an archaeologist obsessed with recovering an Aztec artifact, she stumbles on the horrific truth behind the curse tormenting the sleepy border town of Brackettville, Texas. Texas Department of Safety agent Leigh Reyes thinks her days of action and adventure as a law enforcement officer are over. It's time to ride her Austin, Texas agency home office desk promotion all the way to retirement. But, when a particularly cushy job assignment accidentally reveals an intriguing puzzle, her cop instincts, and curiously, cannot be denied. An intriguing discrepancy in the 'El Cuco' murders evidence sends her on a mission to the sleepy border town of Brackettville, the least likely location for a string of generational serial killings. How is she to know that her inability to 'let sleeping dogs lie' would bring her face to face with the legendary killer 'El Cuco' himself? Small cast, few locations, small amount of practical effects, what more could you need to spell out the potential for high profit from an extremely limited budget? Noche de Sangre is an exciting opportunity, with a modest budget and limited cast, to tell a scary story from the unique perspective of a strong Hispanic female lead character.
