Program Highlights
-
FeatureKicking off Monster Fest with a bang, Colin Minihan unleashes a savage, satirical, and relentlessly fun mix of horror, black comedy, and killer action, featuring standout performances from Barbarian’s Justin Long and Straw Dogs star Kate Bosworth.
-
FeatureVisionary filmmaker Luc Besson plunges audiences into a richly crafted, unapologetically gothic nightmare with his take on the Dracula mythology. Undeniably dark, unrelentingly eerie, and dripping with vampiric menace, this haunting reimagining entwines terror, obsession, and eternal damnation in unforgettable style.
-
FeatureDirected by Clark Baker and written by Stephen Susco (The Grudge, Unfriended: Dark Web), TEST SCREENING delivers a skin-crawling spectacle of eighties-era small-town paranoia and gooey terror that’s as unsettling as it is puke-in-your-mouth gross.
-
FeatureFrom the brilliant mind of Steven Kostanski — whose previous hits Frankie Freako, Psycho Goreman, The Editor, Father’s Day, and Manborg have thrilled Monster Fest audiences at festivals gone by — comes a gleefully over-the-top reimagining of James Sbardellati’s 1983 cult classic. Packed with death, overflowing with stalker-ing, and brimming with the creature effects Kostanski has become famous for, this ain’t your father’s Deathstalker!
-
FeatureMonster Fest is proud to present a very rare treat - For the first time on the big screen in Australia — the new 4K restoration of FREAKED! Undeniably weird, unapologetically gross, and unrelentingly hilarious, FREAKED is a riotous carnival of slapstick chaos and features a host of outrageous cameos including Bobcat Goldthwait and Mr. T.
-
FeatureWARNING: This film contains more blood, more guts, and more severed penises than the human brain is technically capable of processing. A symphony of splatter, Jason Lei Howden returns with the loudest, rudest, and most unapologetically insane metal horror sequel ever.
