The second wave of films from this year’s Telluride Horror Show have been announced and I’m certainly intrigued by what’s on the menu! From the horror comedy Deadtectives to the one-man psychological (and supernatural?) thrill ride that is The Boat, this year is undoubtedly going to be one hell of an experience for all those attending! Other highlights include the phenomenal Tigers are Not Afraid, Terrified, Heretiks, and more. You can see the full announcement below.
Passes are available right here.

U.S. PREMIERE
In the early 17th century, innocent young Persephone is falsely accused and put on trial for her life. Her fate seems sealed except for the timely intervention of the mysterious Reverend Mother offering her not just sanctuary, but hope. For the Reverend Mother is the self-appointed leader of a small religious retreat, a secluded Priory, where her fellow Sisters devote their lives to the Lord and seek atonement for their pasts. But upon arrival, Persephone is plagued with terrifying visions and soon realizes that it’s not salvation that awaits but a battle for her very soul itself.
Paul Hyett’s previous films The Seasoning House and Howl were official selections at the Telluride Horror Show.
