Dario Argento once said, "Horror is like a serpent; always shedding its skin, always changing. And it will always come back." Abertoir, Wales’ International Horror Festival that wrapped this past Sunday, November 10th, has been celebrating horror’s malleability and resilience for eight years.
This year you could find Argento’s operatic giallo style reinvented by French filmmakers Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani in The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears; vampires got a makeover in Kiss of the Damned and Chimeres; ghosts found new life in Ghost Graduation, Forgotten, and Soulmate; found footage was resurrected as Catholic horror in Borderlands; and creature features took a strange turn with The Station and Bad Milo.
Festival director Gaz Bailey had to watch a lot of awful films to find the best the genre had to offer. And he looks for one thing above all else when selecting a film: originality.

The lovely Soska sisters just finished their American Mary panel here at the San Diego Comic-Con and we've got footage from the event on tap for you right here. Check out the goodies right here, right now. Dig it!
The panel consisted of Todd Masters, and Paula Lindberg, and of course the sisters themselves. It was moderated by the Cinema Junkie, Beth Accomando.
The flick stars Katherine Isabelle, Paula Lindberg ("Fringe"), Antonio Cupo ("Dark Angel", "Andromeda"), David Lovgren ("Red Dwarf", "The Outer Limits"), Twan Holliday (Pathfinder), and Tristan Risk (Vancouver's Sweet Soul Burlesque).
Synopsis:
American Mary is the story of a medical student named Mary who is growing increasingly broke and disenchanted with medical school and the established doctors she once idolized.
