Screams first. Laughs later. Promise! Venture into the uncanny of the human body with this special midnight screening, curated by Mackenzie Fincham.
Is there anything more provocative than the human body? How it moves, what it wears, where it goes... How it mutates, oozes, snaps, bleeds, and - ultimately - dies. So relatable, right? In this delicious (body) horror programme, filmmakers confront our physcial vulnerabilities, stretch the limits of human flesh, and reveal the monstrous distinctions that unite us - all while beautifully capturing the most deplorable state of all: death.
These films aren't just about the scares; they are a reminder that even at its goriest or most terrifying, horror can be weirdly beautiful and comforting - like all art. Bring a beer, snag a friend (or enemy), and buckle up for this special midnight screening that ventures into the uncanny with curator Mackenzie Fincham. Screams first, laughs later. Promise.
