Next week, I will be attending the 2020 Women in Horror Film Festival in downtown Marietta, Georgia, as was announced<\/a> at the beginning of February. I was first clued in to the festival by filmmaker Nickolas Duarte, whom actually has a short film, “Old Man Forever,” playing in one of the blocks during the festival this year. I’m looking forward to not only seeing a new short film from one of my favorite filmmakers, but also continuing the run of genre films that have started out my 2020 moviewatching.<\/p>\n

This month is Women in Horror Month, but this year, horror has been a big part of the movie release schedule for the first couple of months. It started with a reboot of “The Grudge,” as well as a horror film called “The Turning” in January, but that emphasis on the scary has continued with “Gretel & Hansel”<\/a>, which is an interesting take on a classic fairy tale and Blumhouse’s take on “Fantasy Island”<\/a>, which is more of a thriller, but leads in to a crazy month for the genre studio that includes their promising new take on “The Invisible Man” and the release, finally, of “The Hunt.” This week sees the expansion of a low-budget horror thriller in “The Lodge”<\/a>, as well as the sequel, “Brahms: The Boy II.” This time is very perfect for a weekend of genre films.<\/p>\n

The festival is only three days long, and all of the screenings take place at The Strand Theatre in downtown Marietta. That makes planning easier, and technically speaking, I should be able to watch everything over those three days. I do want to make sure I have time for food, though, and possible interviews with filmmakers, so I may have to miss some screenings. I will say, I am anticipating taking in all of the features playing- “The Dark Red” (screening Thursday night), “Black Lake” (screening Friday night), “Cold Wind Blowing” and “Mass Hysteria” (both screening Saturday)- and all of those will be reviewed for Sonic Cinema. That leaves the short film blocks. There are 10 total, and I hope to do at least half of them, with special interest in the 3:45pm one on Friday, the “Renegade” block, which contains “Old Man Forever,” although each day will involve at least one short film block being watched. Depending on how I do each day, I do plan on going to the After Party each night, where I will hope to meet and talk to people further. After the weekend is done, I will be writing a piece about the festival as a whole, as well as recording an episode of the Sonic Cinema Podcast, where I discuss it further, as well as share any audio and interviews I get over the weekend. (I’ll also try and do some videos as the weekend goes along.) I’m looking forward to sharing the experience with you.<\/p>\n

Viva La Resistance!<\/p>\n
