This year the programmers have make a truly disturbing collection that left me feeling uneasy for days. That’s a rave.
TURBULANCE
the story of a man frightened by flying hits the expected notes but still manages to make us laugh.
MINE!
Dark black and white tale of miners who find something down there and what happens. This is like a dark dream.
DORMILON
Dream logic is in full force in the tale of a man who records his dreams and plays them back…and what happens when the film comes to life. Another dream to keep you up at night.
MURMURATION
Not sure how this kids will take this but as an adult this story of a senior turning into a bird made me want to leave the theater. Rarely has a tale of aging and approaching death been so deeply troubling.
REST
Black and white stream of consciousness nightmare.
9MILLION EYES
One of the blackest films I’ve seen in nears , nermind at the festival. This is the story of a serial killer sea creature who hacks everyone up who falls for a blind fish who he gives eyes… Oh this is f-ed up. I love that NYICFF trusts its audience but this is the sort of thing that will have a long life in horror festival. This is the heebie jeebie champion
BREAD WILL WALK
I’ve seen this for other fests. (My review is here) but it was even more disturbing seeing it on a big screen in the dark.
INKWO FOR WHEN THE STARVING RETURN
A warrior must protect their community from starving creatures. It’s a grand adventure with a Darkside that was a mice way to end the collection
