Coming
Oct 3rd - 6th at the Dancehouse Theatre, Oxord Road, Manchester!
Four
days of non-stop movie madness hits Manchester, UK. If you love brand new and
classic horror, cult, extreme fantasy and Sci-fi movies then GRIMMFEST is for
you.
Here are the first two films for this year’s Grimmfest…
HANSEL
AND GRETEL GET BAKED (Northern Premiere)
The ghoulish Grimm tale of kids lost in the forest and gingerbread
houses with sinister secrets gets updated to suburban America, where a cannibal
pot dealer lures sibling stoners to their deaths with some super strong skunk
weed. Featuring an unsettlingly witchy lead turn from TWIN PEAKS’ Lara Flynn
Boyle, TWILIGHT hunk Michael Welch as Hansel, and a supporting turn from the
Witchblade herself, Yancy Butler, this mischievous and mean-spirited black
comedy of horrors serves as a rollicking reminder that fairy tales aren’t just
for kids.
JUGFACE
(English Premiere)
Exec
Produced by Lucky McKee, and featuring Lauren Ashley Carter and Sean Bridgers
from McKee’s modern classic THE WOMAN, genre legend Larry Fessenden, and with a
spit-vicious turn from Sean Young as a monstrous matriarch, this is an
altogether moodier affair than McKee’s celebrated collaboration with Jack
Ketchum. An unsettling tale of backwoods religion gone bad, blood sacrifice,
incest, and frightening folk art, this sinister slice of Southern Gothic
recalls such eerie, unsettling classics as WISEBLOOD and THE PASSION OF DARKLY
NOON, and is guaranteed to haunt your dreams.
