It's Baaaaack....

Yes, it's true. There will be a Cinemuerte VI. It will run from Oct 27 - 31. The program has been announced and is viewable here. It's kinda like Christmas in July for the boy and I since much of what is playing is stuff we missed at Fantasia. Especially exciting is the Canadian premier of "The Manson Family" (previously "Charlie's Family") with director Jim Van Bebber in attendance. Those who caught the work print of "Charlie's Family" at last year's Torture Garden will especially not want to miss it. A true work of art it is both fascinating, disturbing, intelligent and exploitively graphic.

Other highlights include the latest Miike Takashi new-school Japanese horror movie "One Missed Call", a bizarro Japanese indie called "Gusher No Binds Me", the Indonesian action overload "Lady Terminator" and a (rare) uncut print of the 1973 TV movie "Frankenstein: The True Story".

I will likely be all over the festival as I fully intend to volunteer for the fest and document it for Film Threat so I hope to see lots of you there.
