“Andrea: The Revenge of a Ghost”, a supernatural horror film by new-generation producers Robert and Frankeli Bencosme, is the latest Dominican film to open at local cinemas. It is supposedly based on the true story of a girl living in Moca, who takes a cross from a grave to place it on that of her deceased mother, and from that moment starts being haunted by a ghost. It has received mixed reviews, some stating that the film uses cliches from old horror films. Hensy Pichardo and Any Ferreiras star in the film. The premiere was held at Bella Vista Mall in the presence of the Minister of Culture, Jose Rafael Lantigua. First reviews on the film speak well for the success of “Andrea.”
The film won the Audience Award during the New York Independent Film & Video Festival held in Miami in February 2005. The film was produced with a US$225,000 investment.
