Nightmare Cinema
Stranger says: Mickey O’Rourke presides over this anthology outing, playing a projectionist who screens films that mirror the spectators’ innermost fears inside a rundown cinema. Horror anthologies can be fun (see V/H/S and the Masters of Horror series), but always run the risk of unevenness and overlength. This time around, you’re in for stories set in a cabin in the woods, a Los Angeles cosmetic surgery office, a demon-infested Catholic school, and a woman’s deteriorating reality. (JOULE ZELMAN)
SIFF says: Five strangers face their deepest, darkest fears in a dilapidated movie theater in this omnibus horror film, featuring terrifying tales from genre legends.
