Before winning this years Palm D’Or at Cannes, Director Julia Docournau made one hell of an impression with the cannibal coming of age movie RAW. Docournau merges the visceral and emotional into a film that grabs your attention, and leaves you with plenty to think about after it ends.

“A contender for best horror movie of the decade.” - RollingStone.com

“[a] beautifully realized, symbolically rich, and disturbingly erotic meditation on primal hungers of all kinds.” - AVClub.com

The Babadook is an intense exploration of grief, loneliness, and the fears of a single mother. Through these emotions, writer/director Jennifer Kent created one of the most iconic monsters of modern cinema. More importantly, she crafted empathetic, flawed, and wholly human characters to share his world. It’s a film that can cut through the thick skin of even the most jaded horror fan.

Though it’s the most commercially successful film in the lineup, American Psycho was far from a hit. When released in 2000, nobody, critics and audiences alike, could figure out what to make of it. Time has been kind to Harron’s dark satire.

Now seen as a modern classic, American Psycho fuses horror and humor in a damning indictment of culture focused wholly on appearance.

Blood Diner is a film about two likeable brothers who run a vegetarian diner, except the vegetarian food is actually human meat, and the whole thing is a front to harvest body parts and resurrect the goddess Sheetar at the behest of their uncle, who is a brain in a jar.

Kong chose to release the film unrated rather than edit it down for an R, and it shows. Blood Diner is a uniquely tasteless film, wholly committed to every questionable decision, bizarre acting choice, and bloody gag.

After studio meddling and a shamelessly misleading ad campaign stopped Jennifer’s Body from finding it’s audience, Karyn Kasuma chose to work outside the studio system for her second horror outing. The result was The Invitation, an expertly made, slow burn horror-thriller for grown ups.

Despite a glowing reception (Around 90% on Rotten Tomatoes), The Invitation never got a theatrical run. We’re proud to get it on the big screen.

Good news! After a brief booking complication led us to remove A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night from the schedule, we got it sorted out and the show is back on.

That said, I didn’t back up its text blurb before removing it from the schedule, and the fest starts in 2 hours. Here a link to its Rotten Tomatoes page, where it hold a 96% rating, because it’s a great movie.

P.S. Always back up your work.

When writer/director/producer Deborah Brock agreed to make Slumber Party Massacre II, it was clear that as long as she met the 80’s slasher prerequisites, she was free to do pretty much whatever she wanted.

It turns out that what she wanted was a horror-comedy with multiple musical numbers and a supernatural greaser using his guitar/drill to hunt victims between ripping solos.

TITANE: A metal highly resistant to heat and corrosion, with high tensile strength alloys, often used in medical prostheses due to its pronounced biocompatibility.

“While Titane wants to shock and surprise — two things a lot of contemporary films seem to have forgotten how to do — it also wants to tell the strangely affecting story of two royally f***ed up human beings.” - TheHollywoodReporter.com

Winner of the Palm D’Or at Cannes 2021.
