Chilean Product - Caleuche: The Call of the Sea Teases with a Full Trailer!


Two worlds may be set to collide in the Chilean film, Caleuche: The Call of the Sea. The recently released trailer features Isabel Millalobos (Giselle Itié), a terminally ill marine biologist based in Boston, who decides to go home to Chiloé Island (located off the coast of Chile). She is there to honour a family request but what she discovers instead is how her family line ties in to the legend of a ghost ship similar to the Flying Dutchman. Here, she is known as the Caleuche.

This local legend of a phantom boat tells of witnesses who spot this ship can hear sounds of happiness and gaiety from the dead coming from the decks. Mermaids brought those souls back to life. These spirits have a new lease on their existence such that their immortality does not need to be one of loneliness wrought by the unrelenting waves of the ocean forever.

In another part of the story includes how these ghosts are not allowed to leave the boat. They can leave, once a year, to insure that the families on shore continue to prosper and that may well tie in to part of this movie's plot. This will also explain why Isabel went home. The trailer teases at a strange cult perhaps in the center of all this horror, a deformed human rising from a cellar and knights wearing Eurasian style helmets ready to fight. This trinity makes for some interesting intrigue.

The IMDB lists this film as completed. Hopefully that will mean this film will soon get local as well as a global release. Fantaspoa is an international film festival based out of South America, and this show is most likely the path this movie will take to get noticed.

Release Date: TBA.

Writers: Jorge Olguín, Carolina García.
