On a drunken downward spiral following a breakup and the recent death of his father, Sam’s troubles only multiply when he meets the enigmatic Anna who just might be a vampire. An essential NYC vampire film, this paranoid modern classic is just as entrancing as it was in 1995 when it took the indie scene by the throat. Since then, director and star Larry Fessenden has continued to leave his distinct mark on the horror industry both behind the camera and in countless memorable performances in front. His independent production company Glass Eye Pix has been an invaluable birthing ground for talent such as Ti West, Kelly Reichardt, Mickey Keating and Jenn Wexler. To honor his enormous and indelible contributions, it is Brooklyn Horror’s privilege and duty to name Larry Fessenden this year’s recipient of the Leviathan Award. This special screening of HABIT will be followed by an award presentation and Q&A moderated by Jenn Wexler. -Joseph Hernandez
