Images from Spanish writer/director Antonio Trashorras’ El Callejon (renamed Blind Alley for gringo markets) have hit the web. The serial killer drama stars Cuban hottie Ana de Armas as a woman trapped in a laundromat by a sadistic serial killer.

The official synopsis reads:

In a tiny laundrette hidden down an alleyway, is where Rosa finds herself trapped, completely isolated and unable to escape the nightmarish situation of being attacked by a serial killer. At the break of dawn and after hours of anguish, immersed in the sadistic game of rat and mouse the killer has subjected her to, the young girl will discover something even more disturbing about the nature of her aggressor.

The Spanish-language frightener is in the vein of such trapped-in-a-confined-space thrillers as Rodrigo Cortes’ Buried (coffin), Adam Green’s Frozen (ski-lift), newcomer David Brooks’ ATM (ATM terminal), and the M. Night Shyamalan produced Devil (elevator).

Trashorras recently scripted director Eugeno Mira’s psychological-thriller Agnosia. He also cowrote Guillermo Del Toro’s 2001 ghost story The Devil’s Backbone. Armas creds include the Spanish sci-fi drama Madrigal and the internationally popular TV mystery series “El Internado (The Boarding School).”
