“LITTLE TERRORS” brings the horror from within this month

Our next Little Terrors event is coming up next week, on Friday, January 31st, 9pm, Eyesore Cinema. While not lacking in demons, dark futures or violence, the focus this month is on horrors that manipulate from within. This includes Alexis Fortier-Gautheir’s Fantasia success Plainsong, the twisted animation of Ray Kermani’s Masked, and one of the more disturbing shorts in recent memory, Mia-Kate Russell’s Maggie May. Tickets can be acquired here.
