What happens when you take body horror, deep socio-political statements, and David Lynch, then shake, but don’t stir it? This year’s horror films selection! A Catholic priest experiencing a catharsis in a way far different from what the seminary promised; a young Cambodian girl whose first kiss becomes her last breath; and many more bizarre, wild plots that leave behind a lingering tremor and the question, "What was that?!" Never before have the horrors in our programme been this surreal, and yet this personal. The world we live in shapes the fears we carry. Wouldn’t you agree?
