Black Mandala and Del Toro Films have unveiled the first trailer for Eyes of the Abyss, a tense and visually striking thriller from Argentine director Daniel de la Vega (On The 3rd Day, White Coffin, Jennifer's Shadow). Set aboard a warship drifting in the South Atlantic, the film weaves supernatural elements into a harrowing tale of survival.
The story follows a soldier who awakens alone among the dead, her memory fractured and her surroundings steeped in mystery. As she fends off an approaching enemy force, the boundaries between the real and the unreal begin to dissolve. The ship transforms into a haunted battleground, echoing with unresolved horrors of war.
De la Vega describes the film as a meditation on anguish and liminality. “On a warship laden with corpses and threatening to sink, the film explores the suffering of those caught between life and death,” he said. “It defies genre conventions with bold visuals and a non-linear structure.”
Eyes of the Abyss is a co-production between Furia Films and Del Toro Films, continuing a successful collaboration that has previously delivered genre titles now streaming on platforms such as Shudder. The new film is set to premiere at Cannes 2025 during the Marché du Film, under the Fantastic Galas banner curated by Fantastic Pavilion.
Uncork’d Entertainment has secured distribution rights across North America, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
