The next film from Dread Presents (the horror distribution arm of our parent company, Epic Pictures) is Automation, a film that suggests humans aren’t the only ones who need to worry about being replaced by new technology. And though it won’t hit disc or digital until December 3rd, those attending Shockfest this weekend will have a chance to see the film and meet the director (Garo Setian).
Check it out at 1 PM on Saturday, November 22nd, and give the new trailer a spin embedded at the top of the article. To see when other films and events are scheduled, check out the full Shockfest schedule below.
