Festival passes just went on sale today, and along with this the Abertoir team announced a few more titles – new and old – from their programme.
Lifted direct from the Abertoir Facebook page:
The first films we can confirm from our line-up of exciting pre-release titles are terrific Japanese horror-comedy One Cut of the Dead (pictured below), engrossing and terrifying psychological thriller Cam, darkly delightful giallo homage Abrakadabra (UK premiere) and nostalgic treat Summer of ’84.
Of course, we’ve also promised you a bounty of slashers! We’re not showing our full hand just yet, but we’ve put together a programme of classics that show off the genre in all its glory. We journey from the slice ‘n’ dice campsite antics of Sleepaway Camp and Friday the 13th, via the extra big drill-bit of Slumber Party Massacre and a brief excursion to Europe for Jess Franco’s Bloody Moon before ending up underground for the brilliant My Bloody Valentine, showing in an extra-gory uncut extended version!
There’s still much, much more to come, but we hope your appetites are suitably whetted!
Abertoir 2018 runs from the 13th (fancy that) to the 18th of November. Full festival passes cost £60 – individual film tickets will also be available nearer to the event – and can be ordered by calling the Aberystwyth Arts Centre on 01970 623232, or they can always be bought in person if you happen to be in that neck of the woods. It’s a tantalising line-up so far, and always a fun and friendly atmosphere, so we definitely recommend you get down there if you have the chance.
