Thrills & Chills: Homo Horror at image+nation

Never before in queer cinema history have so many outstanding thriller and horror films emerged at the same cultural moment. Always pushing the cinematic envelope, lgbt filmmakers have now extended their creative vision, taking possession of the horror genre and refashioning it in true homo style. image+nation 17 pays tribute to the horror film – with a festival focus that runs the gamut from edge-of-your-seat psychological thrillers like Wilderness Survival for Girls and The 24th Day to good old fashioned blood n’gore slasher films, including Make a Wish and most notably our spectacular opening night film, Hellbent. Grab yourself a date (or two) with big strong arms to hold onto, take a deep breath and come share each terrifying and entertaining minute with us.
