Feature: T BLOCKERS dir. by Alice Maio Mackay
When ancient parasites that thrive on hatred rise from beneath a small town, taking the most fearful and susceptible as hosts, a young trans filmmaker struggling to transition in increasingly hostile times for LGBTQ+ people, finds herself the only one who can sense the possessed, and rally the resistance!
Feature: PUPPET KILLER dir. by Lisa Ovies
While celebrating Christmas break at an isolated cabin in the woods, Jamie and his high school friends are stalked by a sadistic killer obsessed with horror movie icons. THIS ONE IS A RAD HOMAGE to all your favorite horror films, and stars a number of horror royalty!
Shorts, and shorts, and shorts!
