“Chaotic, sleazy, and unmistakably SOV.”

This city will chew you up and swallow you whole in this Canuk pseudo-snuff masterpiece of SOV insanity! The streets of Montreal are rotten with sex, drugs, and unhinged violence when a pack of disturbed, broken souls collide in a nightmare of home invasions, thrill-killing and cannibalism. There are no more heroes, just more meat.

Urban Flesh is pure late-90s SOV slasher grime. It’s an abrasive collage of sleaze and nihilism where narrative takes a backseat to slimy homemade gore and a FTW attitude. The movie’s fixation on unfiltered violent ecstasy sends it firmly into transgressive territory, aligning it with the most confrontational and notorious examples of DIY horror of the era like August Underground, Atroz and Necromaniac. Ugly, raw, and completely unpolished, Urban Flesh isn’t trying to entertain—it’s here to punch you right in the face.

Special Screening before feature: the SOV slasher short Blood Rail (2025), followed by cast and crew Q&A
