If you are going to be in attendance at the festival, let us know what your looking forward to seeeing in the comments below, on Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, and in the Horror Fiends of Nightmare on Film Street Facebook group!

Mandy

Director: Pananos Cosmatos Writter: Pananos Cosmatos, Aaron Stewart-Ahn Cast: Nicolas Cage, Andrea Riseborough, Linus Roache, Bill Duke, Ricard Brake

“The peaceful existence of Red Miller (Nicolas Cage) in the Shadow Mountains of 1983 is burned to the ground when a deranged religious sect fixates on Mandy (Andrea Riseborough), the love of his life and, as is soon made very evident, a significant grounding force in his universe. Things deteriorate into a tranced-out nightmare of insect venom, hard drugs and broken-minded delirium as Red journeys into hell in order to avenge the woman he once lived for. Blood will flow in rivers. Worlds will collapse unto themselves.”

Nightmare Cinema

Director: Alejandro Brugués, Joe Dante, Mick Garris, Ryuhei Kitamura, David Slade Writer: Sandra Becerril, Alejandro Brugués, Lawrence C. Connolly, Mick Garris, Richard Christian Matheson, David Slade Cast: Maurice Benard, Richard Chamberlain, Annabeth Gish, Elizabeth Reaser, Mickey Rourke

“At a forgotten, haunted bijou, a group of strangers have assembled to watch a series of macabre vignettes unspooled by the mysterious Projectionist (Mickey Rourke). Like the best anthology films (DEAD OF NIGHT, CREEPSHOW, TRICK ‘R TREAT), the stories’ tones range from truly deep, dark, psychological, demented horror to ones with a lighter, satirical spin. Witness a ghost story that will chill you to the bone; an exorcism story guaranteed to make your head spin; a B&W descent into clinical madness; a plastic surgery gone horrifyingly awry; and a cabin-in-the-woods slasher ditty with a unique twist you’ll never see coming.”

Under the Silver Lake

Director: David Robert Mitchell Writer: David Robert Mitchell Cast: Andrew Garfield, Topher Grace, Riley Keough, Zosia Mamet

“Silver Lake, Los Angeles. The city of angels. The dream factory where it’s all too easy to lose contact grasp of Earth and see nothing but stars… Take for example Sam (Andrew Garfield), a prototypical slacker in his mid-thirties, without ambition… though he does have an unpredictable temperament, a penchant for voyeurism, and an unhealthy obsession with pop culture. When a mysterious neighbor (Riley Keough) appears in the sights of his binoculars, then disappears overnight without a trace, the first-class geek cannot help but investigate – possessed, somehow, by the eternal spirit of the countless detectives who stalked the hot asphalt of LA before him. But a Bogart he is not. Sam’s unorthodox methods very quickly leave him confounded; through the looking glass and into the heart of a strange city where dog killers, owl-women, aspiring actresses and gurus rub shoulders, among other high-society demiurges pulling the strings of an entire culture…”

Terrified

Director: Demián Rugna Writer: Demián Rugna Cast: Ariel Chavarría, Maximiliano Ghione, Norberto Gonzalo, Elvira Onetto

“The lives of three neighbours in Argentina are turned upside down following a series of violent deaths in the area. For retiring inspector Funes, what was supposed to be an easy case suddenly takes a strange turn and he finds himself dealing with more than he can handle. Paranormal experts are brought in to assist in investigating what they believe to be haunted houses, where they will be tested by an evil the likes of which they have never encountered. As the night goes on and chaos is unleashed upon them, nothing, and no one, can be trusted.”

Tales From The Hood 2

Directed: Darin Scott, Rusty Cundieff Writer: Darin Scott, Rusty Cundieff Cast: Keith David, Alexandria DeBerry, Bill Martin Williams, Bryan Batt, Lou Beatty Jr., Martin Bradford, Kendrick Cross

“Horror is back in the hood! The sequel to the groundbreaking original film TALES FROM THE HOOD reunites executive producer Spike Lee (Honorary Academy Award® winner) and writers/directors/producers Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott for an all-new gripping, horrifying and oftentimes devilishly comical anthology. Keith David stars as a contemporary Mr. Simms to tell bloodcurdling stories about lust, greed, pride and politics through tales with demonic dolls, possessed psychics, vengeful vixens and historical ghosts. Mr. Simms’s haunting stories will make you laugh… while you scream.“

The Witch In The Window

Director: Andy Mitton Writer: Andy Mitton Cast: Arija Bareikis, Alex Draper, Greg Naughton, Carol Stanzione, Charlie Tacker

“Divorced dad Simon (Alex Draper) brings his 12-year-old son, Finn (Charlie Tacker) out to Vermont to help him renovate an old house he recently purchased. Used to the speed of New York City, Finn has an impossible time slowing down to a smalltown pace, and he’s disappointed before even getting there. So is Simon (“I guess I was hoping I would catch you on the 12 side of 12, instead of the 13 side of 12”). Afflicted with a rare medical condition in which there’s a literal hole in his heart, Simon, ever resourceful, does what he can to make things good as he and his son attempt to repair what’s broken. Soon, a series of nonsensically terrifying happenings occur, nightmarish and incomprehensible. It becomes clear that they aren’t alone in the house. That there is more work to be done than either could be capable of grasping. That death is a partially living state. And that they are in a very special kind of danger.“

The Dark

Director: Justin P. Lange Writer: Justin P. Lange Cast: Nadia Alexander, Karl Markovics, Toby Nichols

“Once upon a dark, dark time, there was a girl, lonely, undead and bloodthirsty. Behind her a dark, dark past – a curse. Hidden in the dark, dark woods, she tirelessly haunts her childhood home. Mina (Nadia Alexander) is a damaged soul, and tears to pieces anyone who dares enter her hunting ground. When she meets Alex (Toby Nichols), a disfigured and blind boy, brought to her by mysterious circumstances, her animalistic cannibal instincts seem to strangely fade away. As this uncanny friendship grows, little by little, both of these lost children learn how to reach out to the hints of light left within.”

Cold Skin

Director: Xavier Gens Writer: Jesus Olmo, Eron Sheean Cast: Aura Garrido, David Oakes, Ray Stevenson

“In the early years of the 20th century, a young man (David Oakes) takes over the responsibility of surveying the weather of a secluded island in the Antarctic. Hoping for isolation and time for self-reflection, he instead finds a crazed and weathered person named Gruner, played by genre favourite Ray Stevenson (DEXTER, THOR, DIVERGENT). Gruner quickly reveals that there is more to this island than meets the eye and that below the icy depths, a terrible scourge lurks. The extent of Gruner’s madness slowly becomes more and more pronounced as his bloodlust for the creatures becomes apparent. Struggling for survival, the surveyor must choose between a madman and a legion of creatures he does not fully understand.”

Heavy Trip

Director: Juuso Laatio, Jukka Vidgren Writer: Juuso Laatio, Jari Olavi Rantala, Aleksi Puranen, Jukka Vidgren Cast: Johannes Holopainen, Minka Kuustonen, Ville Tiihonen

“Life has its downsides in a small, northern Finnish town. The local bros give long-haired, leather-clad Turo a tough time, and his job at the mental hospital is literally shitty. His crush on Miia at the flower shop is thwarted by the tacky lounge singer Jouni, and his band jams in the back of a reindeer slaughterhouse. In the plus column for Turo, well… there’s the band, even if these black-metal true-believers have never gigged in all their 12 years together (Turo’s concealed but crippling stage fright hasn’t helped). A miraculous crack at a major metal festival in Norway jumpstarts the quartet’s dreams, and Impaled Rektum set out on a metallic mission that will make them confront not only doubts, detours and difficulties, but also Vikings in longships (plus an elf), graverobbing, Swedish rocket launchers and wolverine-wrestling (dangerous… and awkward!).“

Dans La Brume

Director: Daniel Roby Writer: Guillaume Lemans, Jimmy Bemon, Mathieu Delozier Cast: Romain Duris, Olga Kurylenko, Fantine Harduin, Michel Robin, Anne Gaylor

“Mathieu (Romain Duris, DE BATTRE MON COEUR S’EST ARRÊTÉ) and Anna (Olga Kurylenko, QUANTUM OF SOLACE) are the parents of a girl (Fantine Harduin, HAPPY END) who suffers from a genetic disorder forcing her to live in a hermetic box that filters the air. This already vulnerable existence becomes even more precarious on the day Paris is hit by an earthquake, and then filled with a mysterious toxic gas that seems to come from below ground. Only those hiding on the higher floors and rooftops of buildings survive, but they are left stranded, without any resources. Wanting to check that their daughter remains safe in her “bubble”, Mathieu and Anna will have to face the fog.”

The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then Bigfoot

Director: Robert Krzykowski Writer: Robert Krzykowski Cast: Sam Elliott, Caitlin FitzGerald, Ron Livingston, Aidan Turner

‘The year is 1987. Calvin Barr (a too-great-for-words Sam Elliott) is not a violent man. But he is more than capable of violence if sufficiently provoked. What many don’t realize about the thoughtful, elderly bloke regularly seen at the neighbourhood tavern is that he’s a legendary WW2 veteran who many years ago assassinated Adolf Hitler, an incredible secret that he’s frustratingly unable to share. One day, just as he’s coming to terms with rounding out his life, Calvin gets a visit from the FBI and the RCMP. They know what he’s done, and what he can be capable of. They have a mission for him. After discovering that it harbours a disease capable of eradicating humanity… they need him to take out Bigfoot.”

Lewis est un homme ordinaire, mais il cache en réalité une véritable obsession, celle de se venger de Cathy. Lewis kidnappe cette dernière en plein jour et l’emmène chez lui où il l’enferme dans une cellule insonorisée et tente d’extraire un sombre secret de son passé.

Origine du film : Espagne, France Réalisateur : Xavier Gens Scénaristes : Jesús Olmo, Eron Sheean Acteurs : David Oakes, Aura Garrido, Ray Stevenson, John Benfield, Iván González, Winslow Iwaki, William Frater Musique : Víctor Reyes Genre : Aventure, Horreur, Science-fiction Durée : 108 minutes Date de sortie : 20 octobre 2017 (Espagne) Année de production : 2017 Sociétés de production : Babieka, Kanzaman France, Pontas Films Distribué par : Samuel Goldwyn Films Titre original : Cold Skin Notre note : ★★★☆☆

“Cold Skin” est un film d’horreur franco-espagnol datant de 2017, dirigé par Xavier Gens, à qui l’on également “The Crucifixion” (2017). Les acteurs principaux sont David Oakes, qu’on a pu voir dans “The Garden of Evening Mists” (2018), Aura Garrido, qu’on a pu voir dans “The Body” (2012), et Ray Stevenson, qu’on a pu voir dans “Final Score” (2018). Le métrage est basé sur une nouvelle du même nom signée Albert Sánchez Piñol et parue en 2002.

L’histoire proposée par “Cold Skin” nous plonge en 1914, où un jeune irlandais nommé Friend (David Oakes) se rend dans une île éloignée de l’Atlantique Sud pour y travailler en tant que météorologue. Il doit y relever celui en place, mais ce dernier semble avoir disparu. Le seul autre habitant de l’île est le gardien du phare, Gruner (Ray Stevenson). Ce dernier accueille Friend avec froideur. Rapidement, le jeune météorologue réalise que la disparition de son prédécesseur est due à l’invasion de créatures inconnues émergeant de l’océan dans le noir. Une lutte sans fin s’engage entre les amis de fortune et des dizaines de créatures, nuit après nuit, semaine après semaine …

Toute cette histoire pourrait prêter à sourire, mais Xavier Gens, le réalisateur, aborde son sujet avec beaucoup de sérieux. Un récit qui nous plonge aux côtés de deux hommes que tout semble opposer, deux solitaires, obligés de vivre dans une forme de violence permanente, notamment la nuit et partageant leurs journées avec une femme-poisson (Aura Garrido). Il y a manifestement une inspiration directe puisée dans le métrage de Guillermo Del Toro, “Shape of Water” (2017). Le chaos qui règne dans et autour du phare, dès lors que l’obscurité à pris possession des lieux, contraste avec un développement précis des trois personnages principaux. La solitude explique pour beaucoup les orientations et l’attitude de ces derniers. Mais le metteur en scène pousse un peu plus loin en tentant de nous faire entrevoir le pourquoi de la volonté de chacun de se confronter à l’isolement.

Une bonne partie du métrage repose sur la prestation des acteurs principaux. Ray Stevenson est pleinement impliqué dans son personnage. Il démontre comment la peur peut transformer quelqu’un en un véritable destructeur, mais également comment l’isolement peut faire perdre le sens de réalité et du sens commun, à travers la relation malsaine et immonde qu’il entretient avec une image de ce qu’il déteste plus que tout. David Oakes incarne l’inverse, un jeune idéaliste, rêveur, qui s’émerveille par la beauté des lieux, et sombre dans l’horreur avec la réalité qui anime les nuits sur l’île. Enfin, Aura Garrido nous livre une superbe performance. Méconnaissable sous son maquillage, l’actrice, aidée par les effets spéciaux, offre une palette de sentiments, tels que la colère, la peur, la terreur, la tristesse et la douleur. Un rôle muet où finalement tout passe par l’attitude physique et les expressions du visage, des yeux.

Du côté des éléments de production, il faut reconnaître que la photographie proposée par Daniel Aranyó, dont on aurait pu étudier le style sur des métrages comme “Régression” (2015), est juste sublime. Le tournage s’étant effectué en grande partie en Iceland, les paysages sont somptueux et offrent une vision presque lunaire. Les vagues qui viennent fouetter la côte sont magnifiées par les différents angles de prises de vue. Le côté horrifique est donc amené par les créatures dans une attitude très zombiesque, la vitesse de déplacement en plus. Le phare faisant office de fortification que les assaillants attaquent sans relâche. La bande originale proposée par Víctor Reyes est plutôt discrète, tandis que l’édition offerte par Guillermo DeLaCal permet de bien marquer les périodes calmes et d’agitation intense, tout en laissant une place raisonnable à l’évolution des personnages et de leurs relations.

En conclusion, “Cold Skin” est un thriller d’horreur original disposant d’une histoire atypique, d’une intrigue audacieuse et d’un développement percutant. Bien que l’environnement soit dominé par un nombre important d’étranges créatures, c’est avant tout une histoire de relation humaine et de conflit relationnel qui domine. La photographie est somptueuse, mettant en beauté l’environnement direct des lieux où se déroule l’action. Le rythme est bien marqué, ponctué par de nombreuses scènes d’action. La distribution offre de très bonnes prestations avec un Ray Stevenson littéralement habité par son personnage. Un film étonnant, mais avec lequel on éprouve un sentiment partagé sans vraiment pouvoir l’expliquer, ce qui le rend assez difficile à qualifier et à juger, et donc à noter…

I swear Michael Eklund went into human screen saver mode during this (until his phone alarm went off). If you listen closely you can probably hear the windows shutdown music as he powers down.

[Fantasia Review] COLD SKIN is a Remote Tale of Monsters and Mermen

Fantastical drama Cold Skin tells a tale of loneliness, fear, and humanity in presence of beasts. Isolated at the top of a lighthouse in the Antarctic are two men – trapped by impending madness and creatures that come from the sea.

From France, this English-speaking film comes from the genre-familiar hands of director Xavier Gens. A complete tonal shift from his previous works, his prior projects include the demonic possession film The Crucifixion (2017), the deliciously gory “X Is for XXL” segment in horror anthology ABC’S of Death (2012), and perhaps his most notable film – the extreme Frontier(s) (2007). Steering clear of gore, violence, and modern horror fare, Gens goes remote with Cold Skin.

The film is based on the novel La Pell Freda by Albert Sánchez Piñol. The screenplay is penned by Jesús Olmo (28 Weeks Later), and Eron Sheean (The Divide).

Set in an isolated island in the Antarctic during the early 20th century, Cold Skin follows a newly appointed weather surveyor, Friend (played by David Oakes –The White Queen, Victoria). The previous weather surveyor was officially deemed as succumbing to Typhus. Not deterred, Friend seeks the isolation of his cabin. Only, he must share his remote inlet with crazed lighthouse keeper Gruner (Ray Stevenson – Thor, Thor: Ragnarok).

Inside the cabin, Friend discovers the notes of the previous surveyor depicting sophisticated, evolved water creatures. Outside, he discovers strange circular rock formations amidst the sand. But it isn’t until nightfall that he discovers the truth for himself.

Scratching. Scuttling. A garbled, wet sound outside his door. It rattles on its (ye olde) hinges. Then – a blueish webbed foot reaches under the door. Terrified, Friend stomps at it and flees to the basement, finally getting a glimpse of the mer-creature through a crack in the floorboards. Not outwardly threatening in their design, the human-like creatures have amphibious features; wide almond eyes, hairless bodies, compressed noses and ears. He stabs at it, and the creatures flee.

Afraid of being unable to defend himself in his flimsy quarters, Friend pleas to Gruner to allow him into the lighthouse, but to no avail. The next night, Friend defends himself with his only provisions; a single rifle – and the ability to create flame. Not surprisingly, his foolhardy maneuver backfires, torching the cabin in the process. Now completely exposed to the nighttime visitors, Friend makes a second attempt to admission within Gruner’s lighthouse, striking up a trade of supplies.

Once inside the lighthouse, Friend discovers Gruner is keeping one of the mer-creatures (Aura Garrido) as a sort of pet. He is cruel and disdainful towards her, despite her displaying a high level of intelligence and a naturally inquisitive nature. Not wanting to rock the lighthouse, Friend steers clear of Gruner’s habits, even after discovering he has sex with a creature. Screw it. I’m calling mer-rape on this one.

Soon, the men develop a routine. Come nightfall, when the lighthouse kicks into gear, the creatures begin to appear on the shore. Hellbent on attacking the structure. The men shoot, stab and pummel night after night. During the daylight hours, tensions arise within the lighthouse – Gruner is as obsessed with killing the species, despite evidence of their very intelligence hovering at his heels.

Though a simple story, Cold Skin isn’t in a rush to convey a tale about humanity at the edge of the world. By day, we explore the tension of the two men’s juxtaposing personalities and ways of life in a sun-bleached, sandy color palette. By night, the men glow under blue-blackness, mercilessly defending their keep.

“[Stevenson’s] grisly beard and weather-whipped hair almost hide his eyes wide and haunted with cabin fever. “

Gruner is an unforgiving man, but also crazed and wild to the point that we almost sympathize. Almost. (See: mer-rape) Stevenson digs deep into the role. His grisly beard and weather-whipped hair almost hide his eyes wide and haunted with cabin fever. When the cold weather hits – we really get a glimpse of the hypnotic determination of years of self-appointed desolation. A moment of lucidity, and even he is frightened by his own obsession. And that, is a terrifying thing.

Friend, though kinder than his tower companion – lacks bravery. He feels an immediate connection to Gruner’s pet creature, and allows the connection to foster. It is evident from the beginning he feels Gruner is wrong. Hunting the beings down is wrong. But he is complacent. A willing accomplice, despite a moral compass. And we wonder, who is worse?

Films have explored the theme of beasts, man and morality before, and they will continue as long as man dominates the earth with pollution, destruction, and ignorance to the very real and non-mythical beings that also inhabit it. Cold Skin doesn’t verge into undiscovered territory because we haven’t headed the warning of the stories that came before it. The message is still relevant. The journal is left for us. The beasts come at night. What will we do?

2.5/4 eberts

Cold Skin celebrated its Canadian premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal on July 15th. Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the film in the United States.
