Gore Girls Double Feature! A new voice in horror combines with an icon of the French Extremist movement to drive home one universal truth: never mess with women in the woods.
Trim Season | Dir. Ariel Vida: Three words: witches and weed. Jobless and searching for purpose, Emma and a group of twenty-somethings from Los Angeles head up the coast to make quick cash trimming marijuana on a secluded farm in Northern California. Cut off from the rest of the world, they soon realize that the estate is harboring darker secrets than any of them could imagine, and it becomes a race against time for Emma and her friends to escape the dense woods with their lives. [100 min; horror; English]
"Trim Season is a fun trip that wonders what would happen if Suspiria’s Helena Markos moved to a weed farm and spent her time sucking the souls from her foes while smoking a joint and drinking wine." — Terry Mansard, Gayly Dreadful
"From Badler’s commanding performance that contributes to the uneasy atmosphere Vida expertly curates to the stomach-churning sequences of body horror, there is undeniable greatness here." — Kyle Logan, Screen Anarchy
High Tension/Haute tension | Dir. Alexandre Aja: Alex and her friend Marie travel to the country to visit Alex's family. After they get settled in the secluded home, Alex's parents are brutally attacked by a psychotic truck driver, who proceeds to stalk the two women. When the killer kidnaps Alex in his truck, Marie hides in the back to try and rescue her, but the bloodshed is far from over. 20th anniversary screening! [91 min; horror; French with English subtitles]
"Aja is clearly an immense talent to watch, as he both displays a thorough knowledge of horror tropes past and remixes them into a squirm-inducingly difficult viewing ordeal that is psychologically...satisfying." — Anton Bitel, Projected Figures
