This September we're bringing a trilogy of terror to the Somerville Theater in the form of a cautionary tale for returning students and a pair of twisted short films.
First up, we have the hotly anticipated latest feature from Vancouver filmmaker Karen LAM: EVANGELINE. Lam draws inspiration from supernatural revenge thrillers such as The Crow while upping the horror quotient and creating multiple moments of intense dread and terror. As she's demonstrated multiple times in her award winning short film work, Lam has an amazing flair for visuals and details, and Evageline is simply one of the most gorgeous independent efforts you'll feast your eyes on this year. The story:
“IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE…”
Evangeline (Kat de Lieva) has left her sheltered upbringing to reinvent herself in college. As she begins to break out of her shell, she attracts the attention of a sociopathic fraternity leader (Richard Harmon) and his two cohorts. Beaten and left for dead, Evangeline finds herself trapped in a supernatural nightmare, where she is caught between salvation and vengeance. But to save herself, Evangeline discovers she must make the most horrifying choice of all…
We're also proud to present a pair of short films. Keeping with the Canadian theme we are excited to present the latest short from the demented mind of Izabel Grondin The Table. This is one of the more twisted efforts I've come across all year, and I knew moments after it ended we had to bring it to Boston. We are also hosting a screening of Rhode Island native Farrah Rose's short The Atrocity Shoppe. Ms. Rose will be on hand to introduce her film.
As always, we're in the basement of the Somerville Theater. We'll have announcements for future screenings at that time, and trust us, there are some DOOSIES coming up!
