Before ‘True Detective’ Season 4, Watch the Creator’s Horror Movie

A cold, icy tundra will mark the new setting for the fourth season of True Detective (subtitled Night Country), headed by showrunner and director, Issa López, who isn’t new to dark, intense stories. Before she brought Jodie Foster and Kali Reis together to investigate a mystery, Lopez made 2017's Tigers Are Not Afraid, a horror film about orphaned kids who have lost their families to cartel violence and must rely on each other to survive. It’s not her first movie, but it is her first horror film, a strange and tragic dark fantasy that can bring to mind the movies of Guillermo Del Toro, where magical realism places real-world conflicts alongside the realm of fairy tales. A vicious cartel is one threat the kids face, along with being haunted by ghosts and magical wishes that bring only more horror. In anticipation of the return of True Detective, after yet another long hiatus for the crime anthology, Tigers Are Not Afraid is a Spanish-language dark fantasy that shows what Issa López may bring to Night Country.
