Vadhir Derbez has been a fixture in Mexican television and movies for quite some time. When the lead role in the horror movie The Seventh Day came across his desk, he immediately jumped on the opportunity.

Not to mention, he stars alongside veteran thespians with Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential), Stephen Lang (Avatar film franchise, Don’t Breathe), Robin Bartlett (City of Angeles, Inside Llewyn Davis), and Keith David (The Princess and the Frog, They Live). There’s plenty of incentives there for a movie like this.

Here’s the official synopsis.
