Billed as "8 Films to Die for", Festival Films slated for screening this year include...Borderland, Crazy Eights, the Deaths of Ian Stone, Lake Dead, Mulberry Street, Nightmare Man, Tooth and Nail, and Unearthed.
"Unearthed" tells an intriguing story of an invasion of creatures who begin to attack unsuspecting folks in a New Mexico town.
"Tooth and Nail" (starring Michael Madsen, Vinnie Jones, Rider Strong, Robert Carradine, and Rachel Miner) revolves around a group of people in a post-apocalyptic world fight to survive against a band of vicious cannibals.
The scintillating trailer states,
"Horror - a genre of motion picture intended to thrill viewers by provoking fear or revulsion through the depiction of grotesque, violent, or supernatural events."
Horrorfest became the first film festival in history to break into the top 10 at the National Box Office , grossing over $2.5 million on only a quarter of screens of any other film in the top 10 films that weekend.
Looks like folks like to have the bejesus scared out of 'em!
If you can't make the screenings this year, or prefer to revel in the guts and gore in the privacy of your own lair, no worries!
An "8 Films to Die For" DVD is being distrubuted through Lionsgate Films which has sold over 1.8 million copies.
