THE QUINTA’S GHOST brings Goya’s demons from canvas to screen

Emmy-winning @murfish shares the inspiration behind his film

Produced by Illusorium and Martirio Films, THE QUINTA’S GHOST is a classic gothic ghost story about the life of iconic Spanish painter Francisco Goya, looking specifically at the end of his career, when he was working on his infamous Black Paintings.

The film, directed by James A. Castillo (Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem; The Mitchells vs. The Machines) had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival (New York) and recently scooped two Méliès d’Argent awards, meaning it will compete for the 2026 Méliès d’Or.

In a special interview with BANGLE, Castillo shares his insight on Goya and on the horror genre.

Q) Why did you feel that Francisco Goya was the perfect subject for a horror short?

Well, first and foremost, because his work is dark. There is no hiding, or covering it, he is directly addressing subjects and themes that led themselves perfectly into the horror genre. His representation of pain and fear of Spaniards during the Napoleonic invasion, or the nightmarish etchings of his series Caprichos, define an artist willing to show it like it is, that did not beautify or edited the world he saw to match social expectations or norms. His body of work has created images and symbols so powerful that are ingrained in the social consciousness of Spaniards, making it a perfect vehicle to trigger an emotional response from the audience. Francisco de Goya was also a pretty contradictory character, someone that both enjoyed the benefits of his high social status and, at the same time, criticized its hypocrisy. A public figure that lived a pretty private life. Also, nobody knows what happened in La Quinta during the four years he spent there, but we do know what he left; 14 grotesque murals that show a man dealing with his own mortality. He is the perfect subject not because he is an incredible painter, but because he was a vulnerable man.

WHERE TO EAT WHEN XMAS SHOPPING DEVOURS YOUR WILL TO LIVE

By @burgers_and_burpees

London in December is a contact sport. You dodge crowds, debate whether your dad really needs another scarf, and pay £8 for a hot chocolate because it feels festive. Eventually you need a proper pit stop.

Shoreditch

The warm Sri Lankan welcome at @kolamba.ldn hits the spot after an hour spent weaving through Spitalfields crowds. The signature Hot Butter Soft Shell Crab lands like a hug, the seasonal Kalu Pol Pumpkin is perfect winter comfort, & the Payasam brings cinnamon, raisins & instant calm.

Covent Garden

Maiden Lane is chaos this time of year, so @adoh.ldn is the quick, hearty escape you need. Start with chilli prawn toast or mutton rolls, then move to the signature Kothu, a chopped roti dish tossed with vegetables, eggs & curry sauce. Pick from crab, mutton, chicken or jackfruit & watch your mood lift.

Chelsea

Hidden inside Newson’s Yard off Pimlico Road, @wildflowers.restaurant is where you go for a slower, calmer lunch in the middle of a shopping marathon. Mediterranean plates, & relaxed service that feels like it’s actively lowering your blood pressure.

Upstairs, @bar__flor switches the mood to something looser and more mischievous. Think pintxos, tapas, vermouths, Basque ciders & a wine list that keeps shifting. Highlights include Cantabrian anchovies on baguette, seafood gildas, calamari sandwiches & holiday potatoes bravas.

Notting Hill

@sinorestaurant reimagines Ukrainian dishes with British and Ukrainian ingredients & nails that balance between comfort & surprise. The Chicken Kyiv with bison grass mash, wild garlic butter & truffle feels like a present you bought for yourself. The cherry glazed BBQ catfish with sausage & paprika sauce is vibrant, smoky & unforgettable.

Fitzrovia

At @motorino.london order the agnolotti carbonara, the Bluefin tuna carpaccio or the Old Spot pork chop with mustard fruits and pear, then reset with one of Kevin Armstrong’s cocktails. The Chargers are dangerously drinkable and the Dill Boy Martini is pure December joy.
