Sound that Silent Hill alarm honey, spooky season is here and she’s taking over. Beyond Fest, the highest-attended genre film festival in the USA, is excited to announce its complete slate of 2021 programming comprising 39 features, including 8 world premieres, 4 US premieres, and 17 West Coast Premieres!
Beyond Fest returns to theaters for 10 days of cinematic excess from Wednesday, September 29th – Monday, October 11th.
Beyond Fest is proud to open with the West Coast Premiere of Julia Ducornau’s Palme d’Or Winner Titane at the historic Hollywood Legion Theater with the director in attendance!
Horror heroes Blumhouse return to Beyond Fest with two of the year’s most-anticipated features: Halloween Kills and The Black Phone. Director David Gordon Green and producer Jason Blum will join in person for the US Premiere of Halloween Kills and participate in a post-screening Q&A that will be live-streamed globally as the culmination of the super producer’s annual Blumfest.
Personally, the title I’m the most excited about will be Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, The Black Phone! We hear this horrorshow delivers scares in this adaptation of Joe Hill’s beloved ghost story. Director Scott Derrickson will be attending the films’ West Coast Premiere.
Following its electrifying Cannes debut, jaw-drop cinema Lamb will receive its West Coast Premiere with director Valdimar Jóhannsson and star Noomi Rapace joining in person, and agent provocateur Gaspar Noé is once-again championed with the West Coast bow of his devastating Vortex featuring an astonishing performance from the maestro, Dario Argento.
The festival will also descend into the frighteningly brilliant world of V/H/S with the West Coast Premiere of the brand new V/H/S 94 with talent in attendance, and an incredibly rare 35mm screening of the franchise’s original shockfest, V/H/S.
In the digital space, Beyond Fest is presenting with Amazon Studios and Blumhouse Television the virtual panel Women In Horror: The Female Perspective. Featuring an all-female roster of filmmakers including Gigi Saul Guerrero (Writer/Director, Bingo Hell), Axelle Carolyn (Writer/Director, The Manor, Maritte Lee Go (Director, Black as Night), Marcella Ochoa (Writer, Madres), and Lisa Bruce (Blumhouse Television), Women In Horror delves deep into the process, challenges, and cause for celebration experienced by female genre filmmakers.
