Overview

With crime-fighting werewolves, self-cannibalising starlets, karate-kicking little people and a horde of Nazi zombies all descending on Cinema Nova for the fourth consecutive year, Melbourne's largest exploitation film festival is not for the easily offended or faint of heart.

The blood starts flowing on Thursday, November 20, with the savage local slasher film Charlie's Farm. Additional standout titles include Eli Roth's latest gore-fest The Green Inferno, Astron-6's ludicrous Italian horror spoof The Editor and the unflinching rape-revenge tale Julia, starring one of the survivors of The Human Centipede, Ashley C. Williams.

Old-school horror fans can also get their fix, courtesy of either a Lloyd Kaufman double feature introduced by the man himself, or a 10-hour movie marathon starring the world's most dangerous hockey fan. Extracurricular events, meanwhile, include a trivia night, masterclasses and a karaoke party — because let's face it: nothing is more terrifying than karaoke.
