Friday Fright Nights

Overview

The guys who brought all three Human Centipede flicks to Aussie cinemas are back with a new late night lineup of weird and wonderful films. Returning to The Lido in Hawthorn, the now-monthly Friday Fright Nights program features an expectedly surreal selection of eye-popping genre cinema, and will serve as a teaser for the full-blown mayhem that hits once Monster Fest rolls into town in November.

The first film on the bill is the evocatively titled Cat Sick Blues, a strange supernatural slasher film from Australian director Dave Jackson. Next up comes I Am Not A Serial Killer, a well received American thriller featuring Christopher Lloyd and Where The Wild Things Are star Max Records. And if you think those sound weird, just wait until you hear about Aaaaaaaah!, a British horror-comedy in which the entire cast speaks in animalistic grunts.

Rounding out the program is a post-Monster Fest screening of The Eyes of My Mother, a critically acclaimed gothic horror film that took this year's Sundance Film Festival by storm.
