Featuring an introduction by director Alex Phillips and cinematographer Hunter Zimny.

Liam is a sex worker that delivers snacks and ecstasy to his many devoted clients. When his clients start turning up dead he realizes that a serial killer is on the loose and he could be the next target. Alex Phillips is a unique filmmaker with a surreal and nightmarish vision that he brings to this bloody, giallo-inspired thriller. You’ve never seen anything quite like ANYTHING THAT MOVES. —Tori Potenza

An infestation of thieving rats throws a gothic village’s capitalist existence into disarray until the arrival of a mysterious stranger offers them a miraculous solution…if they’re willing to accept the cost. Director Jiří Barta’s innovative stop-motion masterwork is a deliciously twisted, expressionistic adaptation of the popular legend. Presented here in its 2023 restoration by Deaf Crocodile and preceded by two new stop-motion animated shorts: The Gnawer of Rocks, dir. Louise Flaherty (Canada); Prey, dir. Pax Nelson (USA) —Joseph Hernandez

Starring: Caitlin Acken Taylor, Georgia Acken, Amber Dandelion, Bobby Cleveland, John Luna, Les666, Vivian Vanderpuss, Jo Gaffney, Ayla Tesler-Mabe, Elaine Thrash

Mia (Caitlin Acken Taylor), a rebellious young art student, can’t stand her creative block anymore, so there’s only one logical path to finding inspiration: partaking in an underground drug known as Lucid, naturally. The results of Lucid, however, aren’t quite what she’d hoped for, leading her down a psychedelic path of unearthed past traumas and encounters with demons and other freaky beings that may or may not be real. A visually decadent and singular debut from co-directors Deanna Milligan and Ramsey Fendall, LUCID, shot on both 16mm and 35mm, is a punk rock blast of DIY innovation that breaks rules, goes for broke, and signals the arrival of two audacious new genre film voices. —Matt Barone

Featuring a post-screening Q&A with the Adams Family.

A cancer-stricken girl (Zelda Adams) and her widower father (John Adams) visit the woodland home of an eccentric healer (Toby Poser) in hopes that she’ll be able to rid the girl of her disease. But the reclusive woman is hiding a dark past that’s ready to haunt the present. Brooklyn Horror alums (WHERE THE DEVIL ROAMS, BHFF 2023) and powerhouse indie filmmaking family members/co-directors the Adams Family, also the film’s trio of lead actors, have outdone themselves with this exceptional work of personal intimacy and first-class creepiness, delivering their best film to date that will both haunt your dreams and leave you emotionally floored. —Matt Barone

35th anniversary, 4K restoration.

Eight months after the “Miskatonic Massacre,” Dr. Herbert West and his right-hand man Dr. Dan Cain continue their morbid experiments playing god by frankensteining new life from severed body parts and must contend with a pesky lieutenant following their every move. Carrying Stuart Gordon’s torch most admirably, director Brian Yuzna’s mad scientist follow-up is highlighted by an intensely electric reprisal by Jeffrey Combs and a slew of twisted abominable creatures. —Joseph Hernandez

Shinsuke Kujo is a meticulous craftsman who is obsessed with crafting the perfect chair. A buyer takes great interest in his work with the hopes of collaborating, but as she spends more time with Kujo she realizes his perfect chair might require some unorthodox materials. Ken’ichi Ugana is back with a killer that fans of AMERICAN PSYCHO are sure to adore. —Tori Potenza

Julia, an accomplished music conductor, and her husband haven’t been able to have a child on their own, so they turn to an unlikely source: an experimental new fertility clinic run by a charming doctor. After a successful procedure, the couple finally has the child they’ve long wanted, but the fertility’s bizarre practices turn their lives into a nightmare, one marked by a horrifying question: Is the child really theirs? A dark and at times darkly funny look at the most extreme of parental anxieties, Austrian writer-director Johanna Moder’s MOTHER’S BABY is an excellent and wonderfully acted entry into the ROSEMARY’S-BABY-inspired “maternal horror” canon. —Matt Barone

Aurora is a young girl who is afraid of the monster under her bed. When her parents vanish she is all too certain that she knows the culprit. So she teams up with her next door neighbor to vanquish the evil once and for all. Bryan Fuller is back with this whimsical dark fairytale. He teams back up with Mads Mikkelsen, the star of Fuller’s cult classic tv show HANNIBAL for some heartwarming yet horrific fun. —Tori Potenza

Featuring a post-screening Q&A with directors Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks.

Clara is a woman dedicated to strict religious practices. Brighton is a scummy horror filmmaker trying to write his next script. When the two meet they become intertwined in a ritual that will transform them mind, body, and soul. Emily Bennett stuns both in front of and behind the camera. With strong performances and cameos from indie horror favorites like Larry Fessenden and Toby Poser, BLOOD SHINE is a bloody and surreal film to sink your teeth into. —Tori Potenza
