Damned Gryphon

Damned Gryphon, known in Portuguese as Maldito Grifo, is a Brazilian fantasy film scheduled for release on July 31, 2026, from Malo Amigo Productions. The project takes Lourenço Mutarelli's body of work as its source material, approaching it not as a strict adaptation but as a free interpretation of the writer's universe. The film's premise blurs the line between creator and creation: the director, by his own account, became so immersed in Mutarelli's work that he can no longer distinguish himself from the author. That collapse of identity shapes the film's structure, which moves through what the production describes as a maze of hybrid languages — a formal approach rooted in the exploration of the unconscious. Mutarelli is a significant figure in Brazilian comics and literature, known for works that inhabit psychological and surreal territory, making him a fitting subject for this kind of boundary-dissolving treatment. Further distribution and platform details have not been announced.
