And the bear they thought they’d catch may be something more sinister than they could have ever dreamed…
You
lucky ducks, you might be to full from Beyond Fest, but Mike Flanagan
is gonna be out and about, Q&Aing for the first time release of his
film Hush. You can see him in person at Vidiots on Oct 16
or at any theaters that's showing the movie. He's Q & A we'll be
live streamed to other theaters from Vidiots...see how well that goes.
So,
you can go grab a ticket for him in person or see a possibly good
streamed broadcast from the theater. We wonder if they'll use Discord or
Zoom.
Synopsis: HUSH is a gripping horror thriller that
centers on a deaf writer who has retreated into the woods to live a
solitary life. She must fight for her life in silence when a masked
killer appears at her window.
Not
a great sign that there's no trailer, but that's one Hell of an amazing
gross-out poster. Based on an 80's horror movie of the same name,
Street Trash (2024) looks like it'll be an over-the-top messed up mess.
Be sure to go the premiere as that'll be the most fun place to see it.
We're getting B-horror vibes up the ying yang with an updated plot set
in South Africa instead of good ol' 80's Brooklyn.
Synopsis: A group of homeless misfits must fight for survival when they discover a plot to exterminate every homeless person in the city.
*Seriously, though, the original is a truly a weird one with weird homeless crazy people and people melting to death in toilets.
