Freak Me Out Preview at Late Night Library
Preview if you can handle the screams on offer at this year's Sydney Film Festival.
Overview
It is a staple of the horror genre. Old books always give people the information they need to conquer the monster hellbent on murdering them, so they go to the library, where they are conveniently murdered by the villain just after reading how to overcome them. How apt, then, that Freak Me Out, the gory staple of the Sydney Film Festival, returning in 2013, will be presenting a sneak peek of their upcoming horrors at the ever-popular Late Night Library in Surry Hills on Thursday, May 23.
The preview will be hosted by Richard Kuipers, the programmer of this years Freak Me Out section of SFF. He will be showing snippets of 2013's films, which include the SXSW Midnight Movie Audience Award-winning Cheap Thrills; the crazed-Nazi-scientist-themed Frankenstein's Army; and The Rambler, which features a mysterious turn from romcom leading man Dermot Mulroney, who you may know from My Best Friend's Wedding. Kuipers will also be discussing the intricacies of selecting films for the festival, which promises to be almost as entertaining as the moments on screen.
Best of all it is free. So head on down, take a friend if you're scared and make sure you don't enter any clearly suspicious dark spaces.
