Monster Fest comes to Melbourne’s Cinema Nova from Thursday November 22nd to November 25th for Monster Fest VII: The Homecoming.
From its humble beginnings in 2012 to present day with major satellite events nationwide – Monster Fest has grown to become Australia’s premier genre film festival and now in its seventh year has its greatest line up yet.
Highlights include Lords of Chaos in its Australian premiere. Based on the controversial book about the real life black metal murders and church burnings in Norway in the early 90’s this is a real treat for metal and film fans alike. Also on the bill is S. Craig Zahler‘s violent cop thriller Dragged Across Concrete, an action-packed outing that lives up to his previous gore fests Bone Tomahawk and Brawl in Cell Block 99.
You can also see the most controversial film of 2018, Lars von Trier‘s The House That Jack Built. This serial killer thriller has been called disgusting and evil, prompting both mass walkouts and a standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival this year. Also on offer are 4K restoration screenings of classics including John Carpenter’s Escape From New York and Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead II.
And you won’t want to miss Bad Boy Bubby, Australia’s most controversial film, returning to the big screen for its 25th anniversary with star Nicholas Hope (Bad Boy Bubby himself) in attendance hosting a tell-all Q&A afterwards.
Head over to the Monster Fest website for the full line up and dates.
