Isaac Pérez

Isaac Pérez has a filmography that kind of jumps around in the best way. He played a part in the chaotic, blood-soaked madness of (REC)² back in 2009—yeah, that Spanish horror sequel where you’re basically trapped inside a building that’s ground zero for a raging, demonic outbreak. It’s claustrophobic, relentless, and honestly, if you’re squeamish, maybe don’t eat spaghetti before watching. He pops up again in Insensibles (2012), which is a whole different beast—think dark, moody thriller with a creepy, almost fairy-tale edge. That one digs into the kind of horror that doesn’t let you look away, even when you maybe should. Then there’s Rich Flu, his 2024 project, which—let’s be real—has a premise that’s way too on-the-nose for the times we’re living in. Imagine a world where the rich start dropping like flies from a mysterious disease, and suddenly, all that wealth and privilege turns into a massive liability. Paranoia spreads faster than the actual flu, and the power dynamics flip in deliciously weird ways. Pérez’s involvement threads through these films, each one totally different but all obsessed with the darker sides of human nature. Whether he’s running from infected maniacs, grappling with trauma, or watching the upper crust melt down, the through-line is that nothing ever stays safe or predictable.
