Ricardo Islas, a renowned horror director and producer, hailing from the picturesque Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, born on May 16, 1969, has left an indelible mark on the film industry with his chilling creations.

His cinematic portfolio boasts an impressive array of terror-inducing masterpieces, including the 2005 release "Night Fangs", which sent shivers down the spines of audiences worldwide. Further cementing his reputation as a master of the macabre, Islas went on to produce the thought-provoking and unsettling "The Sacrifice" in 2015.
