Official Selection – Sundance Film Festival

VAMPIRE GIRL VS FRANKENSTEIN GIRL
Yoshihiro Nishimura, Japan, Toronto Premiere
“A supergory collision between schoolgirls and the undead” – Fangoria
Hysterical and bloody, this one of a kind romantic horror comedy about two dueling dead girls at a high school is from the same deliriously warped Japanese minds that gave us last year’s Toronto After Dark Festival hit TOKYO GORE POLICE and the upcoming ROBOGEISHA whose recently released trailer has become a viral video sensation!
Official Selection – New York Asian Film Festival

FRANKLYN
Gerald McMorrow, UK, North American Premiere
“Ambitious and original British fantasy filmmaking” – Total Sci-Fi
A stunningly original feature that blends three tales of human drama in present day London with another set in a fantastic futuristic steampunk world. Stars Ryan Phillipe (CRUEL INTENTIONS) and Eva Green (CASINO ROYALE).
Official Selection – London Film Festival

THE FORBIDDEN DOOR
Joko Anwar, Indonesia, Canadian Premiere
“Twisted and gleefully bizarre…fans of David Lynch and Alejandro Jodorowsky this is one for you” – Quiet Earth
From the genius mind of Joko Anwar (DEAD TIME: KALA) Indonesia’s current master of genre cinema, comes this dark hypnotic thriller about an increasingly mentally unstable artist trying to uncover several dark secrets including what lurks in his new house, behind a mysterious door.
Official Selection – Dead by Dawn Film Festival

EMBODIMENT OF EVIL
José Mojica Marins, Brazil, Toronto Premiere
“Impressive with striking hallucinogenic effects and bizarre bloody visions” –Beyond Hollywood
After a 40-year hiatus, José Mojica Marins returns to direct and portray the character that has made him a Brazilian horror icon, the notorious Coffin Joe. In this latest tale featuring the psychotic undertaker, Joe is released after many years in prison, only to continue with his eternal, bloody rampage to find the perfect woman to carry his seed.

BLACK
Pierre Laffargue, France, Toronto Premiere
“A modern update of Shaft in Africa…gloriously lunatic…nearly continuous action” – Cinematical

Official Selection – SXSW Film Festival

SOMEONE’S KNOCKING AT THE DOOR
Chad Ferrin, USA, Canadian Premiere
“Rarely been so delighted by a movie so depraved” – TwitchFilm
In this hypnotic throwback to psychedelic horror from the 70s, a group of medical students find themselves facing a double-peril on campus: fending off a depraved serial killer while dealing with terrifying hallucinations caused after ingesting experimental drugs. Stars indie genre rising star Noah Segan (BRICK, DEADGIRL)
Official Selection – Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival

And we've been getting SLAMMED by critics. Kind of funny, kind of sad.

Ain't it Cool News called it "the best bad movie I've ever seen"

Twitch Film called it "one of the most purely entertaining films I've seen in years"

I just wish the festival director at Fright Fest hadn't slammed it right before the screening.

I never listen to critics or other people's opinions. They rarely coincide with my opinion.

I wish they would release it here. I'm dying to see it.

There's a certain stigma with the later output of Argento, etc. It's like a lot of people make up their minds to hate it from the get go. If its anything like Sleepless or Mother of Tears I'm gonna love it.

I'm hoping I get a screener to review because a few of the critics/reviewers on the site I write for fit into that category...

Can't wait to check it out.

Don't get too excited. The film is a mess. My hope is that at least it is an enjoyable mess, but I can't really get into the film... too many elements missing from the script

Oh well, Sean. At least you got to work with Dario. Most people in the biz can't say that, but you can. I still look forward to seeing it, bro.
