About the Films
Jacky by Kenneth Heino
Pelle is just about to watch the third Jacky film when the title character suddenly disappears from the screen. What follows is a merciless slaughter as the grinning film character suddenly appears in real life and turns on Umeå’s unsuspecting residents.
The Cars That Ate Paris by Peter Weir
As far from the French capital as you can get lies Paris, Australia, in the middle of nowhere. Whenever passing cars approach the town, they mysteriously end up in violent accidents – much to the delight of the locals.
Six-time Oscar-nominated director Peter Weir (Dead Poets Society, The Truman Show) began his career on a very different path. The Cars That Ate Paris is his brutal, absurdist horror comedy about a small town where car crashes are no accidents, and where the passing motorists themselves are part of the business.
Phenomena by Dario Argento
Eight months after an unknown killer decapitated a tourist, young Jennifer Corvino arrives in Switzerland to attend her new boarding school. After sleepwalking, witnessing another murder and getting lost in the woods, she finds herself at the home of an entomologist who discovers that she has a strange ability to communicate with insects. Perhaps Jennifer’s unique gift can help her solve the mystery of the murders… Phenomena features future Oscar winner Jennifer Connelly in one of her first roles, in an insect-filled supernatural thriller.
A Chinese Ghost Story by Siu-Tung Ching
When impoverished tax collector Ning Choi-san seeks shelter for the night, he encounters the mysterious and enchanting Siu-sin. He soon discovers that she is a trapped ghost, bound to a demon that devours the living. Determined to free her soul, he is drawn into a battle filled with sword fights, dark magic and awakened spirits. A Chinese Ghost Story is a Hong Kong classic that blends romance, horror and spectacular action into a timeless, visually dazzling experience.
