Tartan Video USA is tentatively scheduled to release Óscar Campo's Colombian sci-fi thriller Others (Yo soy otro) on DVD in the U.S. on March 25th; the DVD is available for pre-order from MHVF affiliate Amazon.com.

The screenplay for Others was written by Campo. The movie stars Héctor García, Patricia Castañeda, Jenny Navarrete, Ramsés Ramos, and Miguel Ángel Giraldo.

Here's a synopsis for Others from the website of the international sales agent for the movie, One Eyed Films: "José, a systems engineer, discovers in his skin the signals of 'lytomiasis' - a mortal and strange disease that, according to reports in the media, has arrived in the city from the Amazon jungle. Whoever is attacked by the virus dies a few days after, as the body is totally covered by a second skin of voracious bacteria. ¶ Horrified, José tries to commit suicide. At the very moment of aiming at his mouth with a revolver, he is shaken by a violent explosion: a bomb in the neighborhood. ¶ That night and during the following days José discovers 'replicas' of himself, as if his burst, sick ego had multiplied itself ad infinitum in the city. All the replicas are infected with the same virus, and killing each other in endless fratricide fights. All of them are equally cruel in their attempts to kill each other, and each seeks to justify why the others should die."
