MONDAY, NOV 7TH
AT EASTERN HILLS CINEMAS
1:00 pm Block 14: The Forest (Drama/Fantasy, Thailand, 1 hr 50 mins). A beautiful film from Thailand, perfect for the art house crowd at Eastern Hills Cinema. A new teacher at a rural school and a deaf mute girl deal unravel a mystery while dealing with superstitious villagers. Exquisite cinematography and locations. Much of the film uses the local Isaan dialect, and the child actors were from local schools.
3:20 pm Block 15: Seizure (UK, Horror, 85 mins). World premiere of a combination crime thriller/horror film from the UK. A ruthless gang of traffickers tale possession of a cursed Romanian girl. They flee to a safe house in rural England and are attacked by mysterious forces.
5:00 pm Block 16: Faux Paws (US, Comedy, 93 mins). New York State premiere. Hilarious comedy about two gay werewolves fleeing oppressive authorities for the safety of Maine. Social satire galore, great comic performances.
7:00 pm Block 17: Dances with Werewolves (US, Horror, 90 mins). World premiere of a terrific new werewolf film co-written and co-directed by Don Glut, an author, comic book writer and filmmaker who has delighted horror fans for decades. When Cassie flees an abusive relationship and falls victim to a moon-worshipping 600 year old Romanian Countess, a troubled paranormal investigator of Native American descent finds himself in a deadly love triangle. Featuring the late, great Angus Scrimm of Phantasm fame. Sexual situations. Short: Arach-NOPE-phobia (WNY, 7:30).
9:00 pm Block 18: Blood of the Tribades & Squatters (US/WNY Horror). Blood of the Tribades, which features nudity, is a beautifully shot homage to the erotic Euro vampire films of Jean Rollin and Jesus Franco, and an authentic addition to the subgenre. Followed by Squatters, a terrifying and violent Rochester horror film that brings the Texas Chain Saw Massacre to Western New York. This is the New York State premiere of Tribades, and filmmakers Sophia Cacciola and Michael J. Epstein join us for a Q&A. The Squtters team will be on hand as well. Short: Bug Love (WNY, 7 mins 30 seconds)

“…a love letter to offbeat lesbian vampire films that offers powerful discourse on self-identity, feminism, and the violence wrought from religious dogma. Immersive, elegantly photographed, and guided by a terrific original score by Night Kisses, Blood of the Tribades urges vampire tradition forward in challenging new directions.” – Chris Hallock, Boston Underground Film Festival
“…refreshingly uncommon…featuring a unique, fully realized world unto its own—a world populated by vampires that roam forests and ruins…one with its own hierarchy and class system in place. Besides the immersive mythology of the piece, the impressive array of locales—many absolutely gorgeous—on display in this film is astounding…” – Daniel XIII, Famous Monsters of Filmland
“…a considerable achievement visually, with meticulously considered shot compositions and a lush colour palette that enhances and foregrounds the colours of the natural world. Pink skies reflect in slivers of water and nature’s various shades of green seem to pulsate from the screen”
“…acts as an attack on those who bend religion to their own ends, and serves to highlight the detriment (to both men and women) brought about by patriarchy and male privilege.” – Kevan Farrow, Scream
