8 Films to Die for - After Dark Horror Fest
The Carousel Cinema hosted the Greensboro screenings of Horror Fest this year and of the 10 films the festival showed, nine were available in Greensboro, and I saw five of them.
I watched in no particular order The Abandoned, Penny Dreadful, Wicked Little Things, The Hamiltons, and The Gravedancers.
Of these, my favorites were Penny Dreadful, Wicked Little Things, and The Hamiltons. Penny Dreadful and Wicked Little Things were worthy of major release and full priced tickets. The Hamiltons, suffered on the big screen because it was shot in DV (and you could tell). This movie is DEFINATELY worth renting.
The other stuff, eh, not so much.
I am thrilled that the theatre picked up this festival so folks in Greensboro could see movies they might not normally see on the big screen. I was doubly thrilled to note that many showings were sold out. It had been my plan to catch one of the ones on Friday night, but it was sold out before I got there. I went home, bought my five tickets online and lived happily ever weekend.
