Protagonist Gabriel Martinez (Rodrigo Sepúlveda) is a journalist obsessed with finding the truth about the death of a colleague and friend Aníbal Neira (Gilberto Villarroel) who was brutally murdered while researching a news article on American painter Richard Upton Pickman (Renzo Oviedo) who's disturbing work recreates the mythological monsters of Chilean folklore and other aberrant creatures. Martinez through an art professor (Luis Alarcón) tracks the artist to Santiago. Soon the journalist arrives at Chiloé where the painter resides and experiences an intense and overflowing nightmare when he discovers the truth about Pickman and himself.
Originally shot on 16mm then edited on Betacam SP with English subtitles, Chilean Gothic, based on a strong screenplay by Gilberto Villarroel, winning the Festival Internacional de Cine de Valdivia best script award.
Other films on the collection include Geoffrey Clark's animated version of "In the Vault", Austinite Cathy Welch's 1981 B&W take on "Pickman's Model", and Giovanni Furore's Italian version of "Pickman's Model". Plus Djie Han Thung's "Between the Stars" based on a story fragment by H.P. Lovecraft.
American author H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is one of the masters of gothic horror literature from the early 20th century. Presented here for the first time are three different interpretations of Lovecraft’s short story about a morbid painter named Richard Upton Pickman, who created from his fiendish brush "unbelievable loathsomeness and moral foetor." Lovecraft’s tale is a perfect example of Edgar Allan Poe’s unity of effect principle and Lovecraft succeeded in painting a story as meticulously shocking in its realism as any painting from Richard Upton Pickman. The only question that remains is: Are you Pickman?
