New Zealand-based sales company Black Mandala has acquired international sales rights to the Spanish horror film Lily's Ritual, directed by Manu Herrera. The film is slated to receive its world premiere at Grimmfest in Manchester, U.K., positioning Lily's Ritual as a key title for genre buyers and festival audiences. Lily's Ritual signals a deliberate return to practical-effects horror, with the production employing prosthetic makeup and traditional FX techniques for approximately 90% of the film’s creature and gore work. That emphasis on tangible effects underscores a growing appetite among horror fans and distributors for handcrafted, visceral filmmaking that stands apart from CGI-driven releases. For international buyers and genre programmers, Lily's Ritual represents an opportunity to acquire a visually distinct Spanish horror feature with festival momentum. Black Mandala’s acquisition of the international sales rights suggests a concerted push to place the film on the global festival circuit and in genre-focused markets. Industry contacts interested in screenings, distribution, or festival collaborations should reach out to Black Mandala for further information and availability. Lily's Ritual is one to watch for fans of practical-effect-driven horror and contemporary Spanish genre cinema.
