	We Are Still Here
	Stars Barbara Crampton, Andrew Sensenig, Lisa Marie		Buy Tickets – Lido

	In the cold, wintery fields of New England, a lonely old house wakes up every thirty years – and demands a sacrifice. And it is with perfect timing for said-awakening, that grieving couple Paul and Anne (Barbara Crampton, RE-ANIMATOR) move in. At first they think the spooky goings on is the spirit of their recently deceased son attempting to get in contact, but a botched séance teaches them the error of their ways, in a spectacularly gruesome fashion.

	When dodgy cafeteria food turns all the children in a primary school into rabid killer zombies, a substitute teacher must lead a motley band of surviving staff in the fight of their lives. If you’re sick of other people’s kids (or maybe your own) and wouldn’t mind seeing the little darlings horribly beaten, stabbed, punched, fried, electrocuted, mashed, pulverized, kicked or any combination of the above – well, then you should probably seek professional help. But please, for humanity’s sake, seek that help AFTER you watch this movie. It’s awesome!

	The Story of O
	Stars Corinne Cléry, Udo Kier, Anthony Steel		Buy Tickets – Lido

	Corinne Clery and genre legend Udo Kier star in Just Jaekin’s (EMMANUELLE) adaptation of Anne Desclos’ controversial erotic novel, Histoire d’O. Featuring bondage, sexual perversion, sadomasochism and kink (aka – ‘The Good Stuff’), THE STORY OF O, although made an astonishing 40 years earlier, makes 50 SHADES OF GREY look like WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING – You just gotta check it out! The stunning O surrenders herself at a remote château at her lover, Rene’s request. Upon arrival she is subjected to an around-the-clock regimen of sexual subversion by the château’s trainers, who guide her through the shadowy boundaries between ecstasy and pain and indoctrinate her in the pleasure of the flesh.

	The Editor
	Stars Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy, Laurence R. Harvey		Buy Tickets – Lido

	The giallo-infused crowd favorite of last year’s Monster Fest, Astron-6’s latest offering is a lovingly absurdist horror-comedic riff on one of the most lurid eras in cinema history. The story follows a film editor embroiled in a series of grisly murders and is simultaneously hilarious, nasty and sweet. Rey Ciso was once the greatest editor the world had ever seen. Since a horrific accident left him with four wooden fingers on his right hand, he’s had to resort to cutting pulp films and trash pictures. When the lead actors from the film he’s been editing turn up murdered at the studio, Rey is fingered as the number one suspect. The bodies continue to pile up as Rey struggles to prove his innocence and learn the sinister truth lurking behind the scenes.

	Stars Malcolm McDowell, Jaime King, Donal Logue		Buy Tickets – Lido

	In 1984, the slasher classic SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT stunned audiences, was banned in Queensland, and remains the most notorious Christmas movie in history. And now Steven C. Miller has remade it, and it’s amazing. As their small Midwestern town prepares for its annual Christmas Eve parade, Sheriff Cooper (Malcolm McDowell, HALLOWEEN, CLOCKWORK ORANGE) and his deputy (Jaime King, MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D and horror nerd favorite HART OF DIXIE) discover that a maniac in a Santa suit is murdering those he judges as “naughty.” Their sins? Porn, adultery, greed… And he will make sure they rest in heavenly pieces (spoiler – he totally shoves a nude model into a wood chipper – it’s freaking awesome!!).
