EXCISION AND SUSPIRIA DOUBLE BILLThe Dancehouse, 1st November, 7.30pm
Grimm Up North’s regular double bills at the Dancehouse resume with a horrible Halloween two header…
EXCISION (USA, 2012, Dir: Richard Bates, Jr)
A disturbed and delusional high school student with aspirations of a career in medicine goes to extreme lengths to earn the approval of her controlling mother…Starting life as a sick and satiric little short (which screened at the very first Grimmfest), Richard Bates, Jr’s dark and disturbing debut feature has been  freaking out audiences wherever it has screened.  Combining an astute portrait of acute adolescent alienation with vivid and visceral bloody body horror, splattery surrealism. and pitch black social comedy, and featuring an eccentric all (cult) star cast including Traci Lords, John Waters, Malcolm MacDowell, Marlee Matlin and Ray Wise, this is boundary-pushing, genre-stretching cinema in a similar – er -vein to one of the biggest hits of this year’s Grimmfest, the Soska Twins’ AMERICAN MARY.
This screening is sponsored by Monster Pictures.
SUSPIRIA (ITALY, 1977, 98 min, Dir: Dario Argento)A young American newcomer at an exclusive European ballet school finds herself caught up in a series of increasingly violent, seemingly supernatural murders…Let’s face it, this one has been on the cards ever since we first started screening at the Dancehouse. It’s the screening our Grimmlins have been crying out for: Dario Argento’s startling experiment in mood manipulation and abstract terror gets the ultimate sensurround treatment, as we screen it in an actual dance school. Expect atmosphere galore, as Goblin’s peerless soundtrack starts, and the Sighsecho around the eerie art deco auditorium…This screening is sponsored by Shameless Screen Entertainment.
