Monster Fest
As part of Melbourne’s annual Monster Fest, we got a look at one of the films in the lineup: Brandon Cronenberg’s Possessor.
In his latest report from Monster Fest 2019, Alex Lines reviews the 1994 restored Tammy and the T-Rex and directorial debut Come to Daddy.
Ready or Not heralds the arrival of a fantastic talent in Samara Weaving, as well as directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.
Color Out of Space heralds Richard Stanley’s return, a man given short shrift and who has a great eye for throwback horror and truly creepy cinema.
Coming in at just over 90 minutes with a solid pace throughout, Porno is very funny, very gross, and full of heart.
Nightmare Cinema is the perfect anthology movie, with each short containing enough wild ideas and moments to hook in an audience no matter what kind of horror they like.
It is a shame when a movie like Hell Fest this is let down by the very reason for its existence – a slasher movie is only as strong as its slasher and the fear that slasher creates.
Monster Fest comes to Melbourne’s Cinema Nova from Thursday November 22nd to November 25th for Monster Fest VII: The Homecoming.
