Default 2016 Telluride Horror Show

Hey guys & gals.

This weekend I'm going to be heading to the most beautiful town I've ever been to, Telluride Colorado, for a horror film festival. Last year was my first year, and I saw lots of great films, including Bone Tomahawk in it's North American premiere. (Ended up in my overall top 10).

So I figured, why not make a thread about this years? In this first post, I'll add all the feature length films that are shown, with a little description, trailer, and artwork if available. There are 18 features being shown. TONS of shorts, but honestly, I'm not much of a short film guy. Most of these films I haven't heard of, so I'm not sure how I want to schedule my days, and figure out what movies I'm going to check out. Will be open to any suggestions!

Once the weekend is over, I'll post small reviews for each, as well as rank the ones I saw. So yeah, if you have no interest in horror, or my opinions on film, feel free to ignore this thread. But if you're a horror/sci fi/indie film fan, keep an eye on this! I'll be posting photos of everything as well. I'm going by myself, and it's 6 hours away from home, so I'll have tons of time to kill before & after the showings start each day. (I wish I had a laptop instead of just my phone).

This is a long enough post as it is, so I'll list the films in a second post.

After encountering a ghost in their vacation home, Dan (Steve Zissis) and his wife Mary (Jennifer Irwin) consult an exorcist. Unsatisfied with the verdict, Dan goes behind his wife’s back to seek a second opinion, and secretly hires Os (Mark Proksch) who promises to get rid of the beings. Os and Dan spend a week together in the vacation home exorcising the “EFD" (Evil Fully Determined) beings, but Dan soon realizes that ridding the home of evil won’t be as simple as it seems.

Directed by Andy Edwards
Country: UK

Three best friends - Alex, Az and Jim - head to Ibiza for their first lad's holiday. Unfortunately, tagging along is Alex's unimpressed ex-girlfriend Ellie. Arriving on the island, the lads dump Ellie with Alex's sister Liz, and her friend Zara, and head to San Antonio to start their week of sun, sea and debauchery. Soon they end up in a club, run by local gangster Karl, where the attractions aren't all alive - they're zombies! Due to Jim's drunken antics the zombies escape, and soon all hell breaks loose and no one on the party island is safe.




Kill Command

Country: USA

In a small town, Willem, a retired geologist and conspiracy theorist, struggles to find an audience for his controversial beliefs.

Confronting his past, he grows increasingly paranoid about his future.




Rats

Directed by Morgan Spurlock
Country: USA

Inspired by Robert Sullivan’s New York Times bestselling book, RATS goes deep beneath the surface to explore the lives of man’s greatest parasite. Oscar® nominated director Morgan Spurlock unveils a new form of documentary horror storytelling, journeying around the world to bring viewers face to face with rats while delving into our complicated relationship with these creepy creatures. In ways never before captured on film, RATS dives deep into New York City’s parks, subway tunnels, and sewers; venture to rice paddies in Cambodia and Vietnam where rats are caught and sold as food, cross worldly streets in India paroled by the revered Night Rat Killers, journey to the English countryside where packs of terriers kill hundreds of rats per day, and look inside a New Orleans lab, where scientists are studying how abandoned neighborhoods are making rats more invasive than ever. A film as dark and disturbing as any horror movie, RATS is not for the weak of heart, or stomach, and Viewer Discretion is strongly advised.

All is good until prom night, when the devil shows up looking for Sam and Mattie and ruins prom by peeing in the punch bowl. Twenty years ago, Sam and Mattie were born with the fate that one day they’d be bionic heroes with the power to save all of humanity. The devil tried to kidnap the boys at birth, but was unsuccessful, killing their mothers instead before being sucked back into Hell. Since then, the devil has been determined to destroy Sam and Mattie before they can destroy him. Now it’s time for Sam and Mattie to get revenge. From prom to Spring break to epic boat parties with DJ Pauly D, Sam and Mattie embark on a wild (and hilarious) quest to conquer the devil once and for all.

A maniacal clown named Art terrorizes three young women on Halloween night and everyone else who stands in his way.... In 2011, director Damien Leone came to the Telluride Horror Show with his short film, "Terrifier". A true grindhouse flick with a brutal killer, the short was met with a standing ovation. Now Damien returns to Telluride with the long-awaited feature length version. Art the Clown is back, and more insane than ever.

So last night I stayed up real late, going through all the trailers and the schedule, and narrowing down what I want to see. I think I've got it.



Green circle (Rats), I've already seen.
Red X's are ones I won't be seeing.
The rest are what I plan on watching, in order of how excited I am for them. So I'm most excited for The Eyes of My Mother, least excited for Sadako Vs Kayako. In fact, depending how burnt out I feel, I might skip Sadako Vs Kayako and go to a free pig roast instead.

Looking forward to hearing your take on The Eyes of My Mother, A Darker Song, We Are The Flesh and Man Undeground, heard great stuff about all of them. I was going to say you could probably skip Spring Break Zombie Massacre and Ibiza Undead (any film with Alex Zane can be skipped).

SBZM was almost an automatic skip because of a 45 minute runtime. How is that even considered a feature? And Ibiza Undead kinda seems like a modernized knockoff of From Dusk Till Dawn. I'd be interested in seeing it at some point, but I'd choose others in front of it.

The only film I have absolutely 0 interest in ever seeing, is Kill Command. It's just a straight up, robot sci-fi. Not my cup of tea.

That's awesome, jacobsever!

I'm planning on going to my first film festival next year. It will be Sundance! But, Telluride sounds like a lot of fun too! I've only heard of two of the films listed, but I'm interested in hearing your opinions on all of them (or at least the ones you watch). Have fun!

Thanks! I'll keep this thread updated with photos and little side stories too.

I've always wanted to go to Sundance. It's a fairly close drive for me too (7.5 hours). Just so pricey. I'm horrible at saving money. One day though, one day.

I've seen some good movies, a mediocre movie, and a movie I didn't really like.

I also get 0 cell phone service in this entire town, can only use my phone while eating at places with wifi, and don't have a computer. So I'm taking notes and writing general thoughts in a notebook so I can type out reviews once I get back.

Also, The Eyes of My Mother was VERY disturbing. Someone left the theater about 3/4 of the way through. It's very slow paced, but damn, it really gets to you.

Here are a few photos I snapped while there over the weekend.

This is the main street in Telluride. It's seriously my favorite city in the world. And by city I mean town. And by town, I mean about 10 blocks of businesses and homes. VERY small.



I mean, this place looks like the Wild West. It looks like a movie set for an old western, or maybe Wayward Pines.



There was a spooky campfire story read by author Joe R Lansdale (Cold in July, Bubba Ho-Tep)



Q&A with Director Damien Leone after his worldwide premier of Terrifier (which was the best film of the event).



And an hour long discussion on how to break into the indie filmmaking, indie horror business with two young directors. Mickey Keating (POD, Darling, Carnage Park) and Joe Begos (Almost Human, The Mind's Eye).

I took so many notes and wrote down initial thoughts while I was there. When I finally get caught up on my sleep, I'll write some reviews for what I saw.

As far as Trash Fire is concerned...spoiler alert...I totally f***ing loved it.
