In addition to the two horror films announced here, the Tribeca Film Festival has announced their Midnight line-up, which includes a few new horror films that you've never heard of! Read on for the list and watch for this piece to be updated with new information as we find it. The Festival will take place April 23 – May 4, 2008 in Lower Manhattan.
WATCH ALL TRAILERS HERE
Fermat's Room (trailer) (La Habitación de Fermat), directed and written by: Luis Piedrahita and Rodrigo Sopeña. (Spain) - North American Premiere, Narrative. The walls are closing in—literally—on four brainiac mathematicians with shadowy pasts in this muchotense debut. A sexy virtuoso, a hardheaded hottie, a doleful drunk, and a middle-aged merrymaker have all been brought together by the mysterious Fermat to solve their most profound equation yet: Why is someone trying to kill them?
MIDNIGHT
Making for fun and memorable viewing day or night, the eclectic titles in the Midnight section offer everything from campy laughs to smart thrills. From Tasmanian cannibals to small-town suicide rings, a pan-sexual rock & roll party to psychopathic farmers, this collection of films may be shocking, or creepy, but they’re always fun.
The Cottage (trailer), directed and written by Paul Andrew Williams. (UK) - International Premiere Narrative. A kidnapping plot goes horribly awry when two brothers and their potty-mouthed hostage stumble into the wrong farmhouse in this gory horror-comedy.
Dying Breed, directed by Jody Dwyer, written by Michael Boughen, Rod Morris, and Dwyer. (Australia) - World Premiere Narrative. Inspired by the legends of a 19th-century cannibal and an extinct tiger, this brutal horror-thriller centers on four friends who find out that something—or someone—murderous lurks in the rain-slogged Australian bush.
From Within, directed by Phedon Papamichael, written by Brad Keene. (USA) - World Premiere Narrative. Evil comes from within in this smart, supernatural thriller, set in a small extremist evangelical town that is mysteriously afflicted with serial suicides. Up-and-coming cast includes Elizabeth Rice, Thomas Dekker (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Laura Allen (Dirt), and Rumer Willis.
Killer Movie (trailer), directed and written by Jeff Fisher. (USA) - World Premiere Narrative. A reality TV director copes with a spoiled celebutante and a show gone haywire when a masked killer starts bumping off the crew in this slasher-movie satire from a director who did time working on The Simple Life.
