I'm truly excited by some titles for this year's Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, May 10-May 20 unfortunately no Warped Forest, like I was hoping, but check out some of these films handpicked for your pleasure or check the full ist at the link above.
Tormented aka Rabbit Horror 3D
I've been waiting for this one, here's a early article about it from last year. Once again you can't seen a striking resemblance between Amy Sol's art and the movie. I can't wait for the trippy murderous bunny filled visuals. Can't say I like the name "Tormented", I guess makreting wise they're goin to try and lose that connection, which is a bit odd. Horror's kind of a niche market and selling it as some deep thriller might backfire.

"TORMENTED centers on a young boy whose family is unraveling. His sister is grappling with the reality of life and death, while his father walks a line with insanity. The situation intensifies when the boy manifests a dangerous friendship with a stuffed toy rabbit that comes to life."
Headshot
"A return to the crime genre for Thai auteur Pen-ek Ratanaruang (6IXTYNIN9, LAST LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE), HEADSHOT is a noir-laced thriller about a hitman who is shot in the head and wakes up to find that he sees everything upside down"
Why is it the same night as Rabbit Horror 3D, dammit, I so want to see this premise played out, upside down everything!
