No.5 Some Kind of Hate
Director: Adam Egypt Mortimer
It takes Some Kind of Hate to raise the dead for a bloody rampage, but bullying will do that to a guy. Lincoln (Ronen Rubinstein) is a teenage metalhead who’s got it bad at home from a nasty dad (Andrew Bryniarski, the Texas Chainsaw remake’s Leatherface) and worse at school from his classmates. When he can’t take any more and fights back, he’s shipped off to a desert reform camp for troubled teens like himself. Unfortunately, even an outcast society like this has its bullies, and Lincoln becomes a victim all over again. This time, his desire for payback becomes manifested in another: Moira (Sierra McCormick), an extremely angry dead teenage girl who once suffered as Lincoln has, and is more than willing to shed a little blood for him.

Two American girls on vacation in Israel are charmed into accompanying an anthropology student to Jerusalem during Yom Kippur. Their timing couldn’t be less fortunate. This particular night will see many of the city’s legends and superstitions proven terrifyingly real. A holy night of sheer horror has begun and the trio soon find themselves at the center of biblical apocalypse. The dead will rise. Monsters will walk.

No.2 Extinction
Director: Miguel Ángel Vivas
What happens when you’re surviving the apocalypse with someone you hate? Ángel Vivas — director of the acclaimed Kidnapped and the Fantasia Small Gauge Trauma hit I’ll See You in my Dreams — poses that question in the End Times monster movie Extinction.
Nine years after a plague that turned most of humanity into crazed cannibals, Jack (Burn Notice star Jeffrey Donovan) lives in a fortified house in the town of Harmony with his daughter Lu (Quinn McColgan). The harsh winter weather has seemingly killed off all the infected, yet things are far from peaceful between Jack and the only other man he knows is alive, Patrick (Matthew Fox of LOST and World War Z), who lives next door. When Patrick isn’t getting drunk, he goes into the city on supply runs, and when Jack isn’t scrounging food from other houses, he’s facing Lu’s increasing curiosity about both the neighbour they don’t speak about and the outside world she’s never experienced. When they’re attacked by some hideously evolved mutants, the former friends are forced to put aside their differences and weapon up to keep Lu safe.

No.1 Deathgasm
Director: Jason Lei Howden
A pack of metalhead outcasts in a small New Zealand town form a band and make the mistake of performing accursed riffs off an ancient page of sheet music, releasing total hell on their hated suburban neighborhood. They may not love their neighbors, but they’d also prefer not to be responsible for the end of the world. Blood will spray, pinch harmonics will shriek, monsters will annihilate, and the most balls-out heavy metal horror/comedy you could ever imagine is about to shake your foundations. Bang. Your. Heads.
Screening Time:
July 18 • 9:30 PM – Concordia Hall Theatre (Keep an ear open for a re-screening!)
Bonus Cop Car
Director: Jon Watts
Two young boys, Travis and Harrison, trek across the dry, sun-soaked expanse of rural Colorado, trading swear words and nibbles off a sausage stick. They come across a police cruiser parked in an out-of-the-way spot. There’s a beer on the hood and keys in the ignition but nobody, as far as they can tell, in the car. Initially spooked, they get up the gumption to investigate — and soon they’re tearing through the countryside on a clueless but crazed joyride, rooting through the vehicle’s stockpile of guns and gear, and having a grand old time. But this pre-teen dream-come-true is on its way to becoming a nightmare. The boys have jacked the ride of Sheriff Kretzer (Kevin Bacon), a very bad cop doing very bad things, who very badly wants his wheels back.
Screening Time:
July 28 • 7:15 PM – Concordia Hall Theatre
