THE ORPHAN KILLER
South African theatrical premiere

Thursday 27 October, 8:30pm (R30)

"True Pain is Screamless"

The Orphan Killer is a tour de force murder flick that defies classification. It goes far beyond current trends in gore and breaks open a new suffering genre of horror. Marcus Miller is a serial murderer hellbent on teaching his estranged sister Audrey what it means to have family loyalty. His lessons are taught in massive doses of vulgar and unimaginable pain. Throughout her brutal torture we learn that Marcus is not the only Miller with Killer in the bloodline as Audrey proves to be a formidable adversary.

Written & Directed by Matt Farnsworth
Starring Diane Foster, David Backus and Matt Farnsworth

Orphan Killer
Under The Scares UNDER THE SCARES
South African theatrical premiere

Friday 28 October, 6:15pm (R30)

Revealing The Blood & Bones Of The Horror Indies

Cheap scares. Extreme Gore. Loads of nudity. These have been the three staples of low budget independent horror films since the 60's. But what's a filmmaker to do when, thanks to technology, ANYONE can make a film these days? Under The Scares offers an inside look into the production and promotion of an independent, ultra low-budget horror film, while combining interviews and insights from some of the genre's biggest legends - Lloyd Kaufman, Robert Kurtzman, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Frank Henenlotter, Gary Jones, and many many more. In addition to tips and tricks for emerging filmmakers, they offer their opinions on the genre (where it's been and where it's going) plus lots of intriguing personal anecdotes. The result is a compelling look into the world of horror films that will interest any movie enthusiast wanting to know more about what really goes on behind the scenes. Forget everything youve learned from the DVD extras of big Hollywood productions, the real truth lies, Under the Scares!

Night Living Dead RE


NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: REANIMATED
South African theatrical premiere

Saturday 29 October, 8:30pm (R30)

Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated is a mass collaborative artistic re-envisioning of George A. Romero's 1968 cult classic. International artists and animators were invited to select scenes from the film and reinvent them through their artwork.
Open to all styles, media and processes the results ran the gamut with scenes created in everything from puppet theater to CGI, hand drawn animation to flash, and oil paintings to tattoos.
This cacophony of works was organized and curated across the original film's time line in order to create a completely original motion picture made entirely out of art.

The over 100 artists include Mike Schneider, Carla Rodrigues, Matthieu Lefebvre, Geff Bartrand, David Yener Goodman, Eric Schock, Verena Loisel, José Martínez, Isabella Chen, Kate van Zyl, and many more.
