A horror fable of the bone-breaking anxieties of modern motherhood.

Pregnant with her first child, Valeria is expecting to feel the excitement and joy that everyone tells her comes with becoming a new mother. But she doesn’t.

Seeking an explanation for these emotions - and the horrifying visions that have begun creeping into her daily life - she returns to her punk rock past and reconnects with the woman who was her first love, in an attempt to find answers. But what she discovers may not provide any reassurances. More details & tickets

Saturday, November 5 • 8pm

A rip-roaring collection of Latin American scary stories by five indie-horror filmmakers.

At the scene of a shockingly grisly massacre, the authorities find a lone survivor - a man who calls himself The Traveler. Trying to unravel the truth, two cops interrogate this mysterious man, and begin to learn much, much more than they were ever prepared to. What follows is a series of stories involving opening a door that should’ve remained closed, a vampire’s perilous night out, the bloody retribution of an unknowable ancient power, and the adventures of a demon hunter and his “very special” weapon.

Deeply inspired by Latin American folklore and legend, the five twisted tales in this horror anthology run the gamut from visceral gore to unexpected hilarity, so buckle up and be prepared for anything… More details & tickets
