Becoming

The Huntsman

Three survivors are trapped with a terrifying creature that grows stronger with every victim it claims. Once it has your scent, you can not run from it.

In a cottage, in a wood, a red cloaked predator is spinning fairy tales of death.

Whether gutted, stuffed in an oven, or simply drowned, The Huntsman ensures that no one lives happily ever after...

And if you kill it... you become it.

Directed by: Viko Nikci Produced by: Viko Nikci and Lindsay Webster

Directed by: Adam Penn Produced by: Seyi Peter-Thomas

Ol’ Stan Levid

Onionhead

Stem

A young drifter by the name of Cal finds himself in unfamiliar territory: a small, incongruous tavern just off the dusty interstate. Suddenly opposite a welldressed stranger calling himself Stanley Levid, the two begin to casually converse.

As the situation turns increasingly sinister, however, the unsuspecting young man quickly finds himself locked in a desperate struggle, fighting for his very life.

Sixty years ago a giant grotesquely disfigured man roamed the woods of a rural Louisiana community. The locals cruelly nickname him Onionhead. When a young girl was found murdered, he was wrongfully blamed. An angry mob came for him, killed him then buried his dismembered remains in an unmarked grave. Many years later a young teenage couple meets the resurrected monster, when four children unwittingly release him from the grave that trapped him for decades.

After a miraculous but questionable discovery, stem cell researcher Dr. William Chen suffers a massive stroke leaving him paralyzed. Slowly the life he knew disappears. His wife leaves him. He’s left to waste away in a hospital bed. Dr. Chen can’t take it anymore. He’s forced to kill his way out of the hospital, attempting to get his old life back.

The Election

October 13th / 5:00 pm

Dara is everything that almost any men could wish for. Never mind her charm or her superbly fine cooked meals, because unbeknownst to her many swooned suitors lies a secret so gruesome that no one ever lived to tell the tale. This is a sweet tale about the daily life Dara, being a woman whose passion includes cooking fine cuisine, romantic dinner, torture and mass bloodletting.

On the eve of the most important election in their career - a horrible event puts John and Abby on the dark side of choice.

With the pressure of remaining in the race pushing hard, the solutions become clear. Ray Wise and Lin Shaye give the best performances in short format. Newcomer Padraig Reynolds (Sean Cunningham’s The Utah Murders, The Drowned) shows his ability to create horror with backbone.

As always, the government moves too late and poorly and a group of film students wind up filming the movie of their lives, without even looking to do so, and while trying to escape from the massacre. A genuine Romero, in top shape and with his rifle loaded.

Sarah, a young photographer, is by herself on Christmas eve. She’s been alone since her husband died tragically in a car accident.

Today is the last day she has to spend at home before going to hospital to induce labor. The calm is interrupted by a knock on the door.

Confronted by a mysterious woman, Sarah is immediately suspicious, and refuses to let her in; however, the woman will not leave. Sarah suddenly feels afraid and calls the police. In the gloom outside, the woman watches her through the picture windows. Yet, when the police show up, the woman is gone. With riots raging in the neighbouring suburb, the distracted policemen comfort Sarah and leave. Sarah locks herself away in her house, unaware that the woman is now inside. As she feels her first contractions, she does all she can to fight back this madwoman hellbent on taking one thing...

When Mike (Josh Randall) and Sheryl (Brianna Brown) stake their tent in the rugged mountains of West Virginia the worst they expect are mosquitoes. What they get is a nightmare.

When a reckless bank robber and his rebellious teenage hostage hole up for the night in a bad motel, anything can happen. A mysterious stranger and dark twists of fate send this night into a descent of bloody madness in this deadly game of cat and mouse where nothing is what it seems. Lock yourself in for this critically acclaimed claustrophobic tale that is equal parts classic suspense thriller and grindhouse horror.

It is 2020, and the world has run out of gas. Civilized countries have spiraled into looting and anarchy, and much of the world population has starved to death or killed each other. A small group of misfits known as Foragers take refuge in an empty Philadelphia hospital with plans on re-building society. On a daily foray into the city, they discover a young girl who is the victim of a brutal attack. They bring her back to the hospital, but soon discover that they were followed by a savage band of cannibals known as Rovers. The Rovers begin to kill the Foragers one by one, and the trapped survivors must find a way to outwit their stalkers.

Zombies. You know ‘em, you love ‘em. But what do they think of you?

Tobin Bell stars in this terrifying story about a group of lustful college friends on a road trip to a remote desert cabin. As a night of extreme truth-or-dare and wild partying gives way to sheer fright, the teens are terrorized by a vengeful corpse who was cruelly entombed on the property.

Directed by legendary make-up effects wizard Robert Kurtzman of From Dusk Till Dawn fame, Buried Alive is a chilling, retro fright-fest packed with sex, shocks and supernatural horror!

Married doctors William and Dakota Block (Brolin and Shelton) find their graveyard shift inundated with townspeople ravaged by gangrenous sores and a suspiciously vacant look in their eyes. Among the wounded is Cherry (McGowan), a go-go dancer whose leg was ripped from her body during a roadside attack. As the invalids quickly become enraged aggressors, Cherry and Wray (Rodriguez), her former significant other, lead a team of accidental warriors into the night, towards a destiny unknown in the new, extended cut of PLANET TERROR.

A Ronald Reagan-obsessed serial killer targets a bunch of hippies who are heading to a weekend-long concert.

A group of American teens come to Ireland to visit an old school friend who takes them on a camping trip in search of the local fabled magic mushrooms. When the hallucinations start taking hold, the panicked friends are attacked by ghostly creatures; never able to determine if they are experiencing gruesome reality or startling delirium. When one teenager unknowingly eats the dangerous “Death’s Head” mushroom, the group’s nightmare takes a deeply sinister turn.

It’s New Year’s Eve in the city of Terminus and chaos is this year’s resolution. All forms of communication have been jammed by an enigmatic signal that preys on the fears and desires of everyone in the city. Told in three parts from three unique perspectives by three visionary directors, The Signal is a horrific journey towards discovering that the most brutal monster might actually be within all of us.

From the director of Urban Legend comes this terrifying trip into the depths of human depravity. When a storm forces a couple to land their sailboat far ashore, they stumble upon a remote island inhabited by a demented father and his psychotic sons. Captured, beaten and sexually enslaved, the couple turns the tables in a bloody fight for survival.

Featuring some of the most intensely brutal scenes imaginable, Storm Warning never lets up as it builds toward a shocking finish.

Sarah Wolfe was the only living survivor from the massacre at the Vanacutt Mansion, but no one believed her claims that ghosts were responsible for the gruesome murders that took place there.

Now her recent and questionable suicide leaves her sister, Ariel, no choice but to devote herself to finding out who - or what - was responsible for her death.

Ariel discovers that Sarah sent her the diary of the sadistic Dr. Vanacutt just before she died, offering clues to the diabolical evil that resides within the house. But the diary also makes Ariel a target in a deadly treasure hunt that leads a group of unwitting victims back to the Vanacutt Mansion, reawakening the terror imprisoned within the house on the hill.

This time, the house and the evil spirits inside are out to make sure that no one leaves alive.

In the spirit of the EC horror comics of old, the film tells the story of five teens who get lost on their way to a rock concert, are menaced by flesh eating mutations and then fall into the clutches of a family of backwoods killers. The film includes copious amounts of gore alongside a splattering of social commentary and several slices of dark humour. It’s best seen as a tribute to the cinema of Lucio Fulci and George Romero, but viewed from a distinctly Pakistani perspective.

The film is directed and co-written by former film critic Omar Ali Khan. Its cast combines some of the country’s most exciting new talent alongside Pakistani film veterans such as Rehan and Najma Malik.

The gruesome make up effects were done

by Nawab Sagar, another industry veteran who has worked on numerous mainstream productions. The film was shot by London trained cinematographer Najaf Bilgrami and was edited by the UK’s Andy Starke.

Cast: Kunwar Ali Roshan, Rubya Chaudhry, Rooshanie Ejaz, Osman Khalid Butt, Haider Raza, Rehan, Najma Malik, and Salim Meraj Directed by: Omar Ali Khan Written by: Omar Ali Khan, Pete Tombs Produced by: Omar Ali Khan, Pete Tombs, Andy Starke
