So I was informed that this year is leap year or año bisiesto in Spanish. I started wondering if there were any horror films about leap year and what is the first thing I find? Año bisiesto a film by Michael Rowe released in 2010. It was co-written by Michael Rowe and Lucia Carreras. It stars Monica del Carmen, Gustavo Sanchez Parra and Armando Hernandez. This film looks pretty interesting. It’s about Laura (Monica del Carmen), who lost her father on February 29th. Through this month she has sex with a stranger named Arturo. Their sex becomes rougher and rougher and builds to more S&M then has interesting ending that leaves viewers with a conflict feelings.
