Those
of us living in the City are often scared to go into Brooklyn. From October 11th
through October 18th there will actually be good reason for that
fear. This year’s Brooklyn Horror Film Festival will be on—and this year they
are screening one of the most bizarrely deadly films ever.
If
you looked at the slate a week ago, look again, because some changes have been
made. Worry not, they are still screening Antrum,
considered to be a truly cursed film. Whenever attempts have been made to
screen it, bad things seem to happen, but this time is sure to be different.
There
will also be two world premieres: Boo! And
Welcome to Mercy, as well the world
premiere of the freshly restored Tiny Tim slasher, Blood Harvest.
North
American premieres include: Cannibal
Club, Family, Inner Ghosts, Party Hard Die Young, and The Rusalka, directed by Perry Blackshear, who made quite an
impression with They Look Like People.
Screening
as a New York debut, Tilman Singer’s Luz proves
a film can be ambitious and experimental while still getting its scares in. For
nostalgia, there will also be the New York premiere of Wolfman’s Got Nards, the Monster
Squad documentary and the Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies will
present a program on made-for-TV horror films. Plus, there will be several
retro-retrospective slasher screenings, including My Bloody Valentine and Sleepaway
Camp.
We
are looking forward to The Night Shifter,
Tumbbad, Field Guide to Evil, and Ghost
Mask: Scar. So, basically there will be something for the entire family.
Further coverage to come, when the Brooklyn Horror Film Fest runs 10/11-10/18.
