(( FILM SCHEDULE ))

FRIDAY, MARCH 11th

== 6:30pm: DOORS OPEN ==

== 7:30pm -- OPENING NIGHT FILM ==

HARVEST LAKE (World Premiere)
Dir. Scott Schirmer
USA

A group of campers on a birthday vacation to the lake fall under the erotic spell of a libidinous, otherworldly presence in the woods. Inhibitions drop and their behaviors become erratic as one by one they find their sexual identities and wills being subsumed by the creature's power. One of the friends tries to escape the carnal free-fall, ultimately bringing him face to face with the source of a primal mystery that will change his life forever. This bold and "uncomfortably sexy" new film comes from director Scott Schirmer (Found) and producer Brian K. Williams (Time to Kill) with special FX by The Clockwerk Creature Company. Starring: Tristan Risk (American Mary), Ellie Church (Headless), Jason Crowe (Dead Moon Rising), Dan Nye (The Legend of Wasco), and Kevin Roach (The Confession of Fred Krueger)

Screens with short film HEIR (dir. Richard Powell)

== 9:45pm ==

IDYLL (Canadian Premiere)
Dir. Toma Gorki
SLOVENIA
*English Subtitles*

After a night of carousing, amateur photo model Zina heads for a fashion shoot in the idyllic vistas of rural Slovenia, accompanied by the ambitious model Mia and their snobby photographer Blitcz. On their way to the location, they cross paths with a group of hideously disfigured and violent redneck moonshiners. Thus, an ordinary fashion shoot in the idyllic woods turns into a fierce fight for survival. Starring: Nina Ivanisin, Lotos Sparovec, Nika Rozman

Screens with short film DIE! SITTER! DIE!: RUPERT (Dir. Sam Boxleitner & Lee Boxleitner)

== MIDNIGHT - 12am ==

BUNNY THE KILLER THING (Hamilton Premiere)
Directed by Joonas Makkonen
FINLAND
*English language and subtitles*

A group of Finnish and British partygoers get stuck at a snowy cabin when they are attacked by a horny creature that is a half human, half rabbit. A brilliant send-up of monster movie conventions or a depraved excuse for gratuitous gore, sex, violence, nudity, and penis jokes? Either way, BUNNY THE KILLER THING is the perfect midnight movie for lovers of exploitation trash and WTF filmmaking. Starring: Hiski Hämäläinen, Enni Ojutkangas, Veera W. Vilo

Screens with short film DICKPROOF 2 (Dir. Sam McGlynn)

SHE WHO MUST BURN (Hamilton Premiere)
Dir. Larry Kent
CANADA

The Baarkers, a family group of religious fanatics who believe they are God's chosen ones, polarize a small mining town and force its residents to fight for their lives as their zeal turns murderous and the rule of law decays into brutish mob mentality. A controversial and timely look at the horrific results of religious zealotry from esteemed Canadian filmmaker Larry Kent. Starring: Sarah Smyth, Shane Twerdun, Jewel Staite

Screens with short film THE HERD (Dir. Melanie Light)

== 9:30pm -- CLOSING NIGHT FILM ==

THE BARN (Canadian Premiere)
Dir. Justin M. Seaman
USA

Its Halloween 1989, and best friends Sam and Josh are trying to enjoy what's left of their final Devil's Night before graduating high school. But the two pals and a group of their friends get more trick than treat when they take a detour on their way to a rock concert, finding an old abandoned barn and awakening a trio of Halloween demons inside. Now it's up to Sam and Josh to find a way to protect their friends and defeat the flesh-hungry creatures that lurk within "The Barn." THE BARN is the perfect retro throwback to classic 80s VHS horror like The Monster Squad, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, and Full Moon's empire of direct to video features. Starring: Mitchell Musolino, Will Stout, Lexi Dripps, Cortland Woodard, Nikki Darling, Nickolaus Joshua, and Ari Lehman (the first Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th).

Screens with short film LARRY GONE DEMON (Dir. Matthew Lawrence)
