The Deeper You Dig

Origin: USA
Directed by: John Adams, Toby Poser
Starring: John Adams, Toby Poser, Zelda Adams
An icy supernatural indie force, THE DEEPER YOU DIG follows the urgent intertwining of a mother, daughter, and an isolated neighbor after a roadside accident. Created by and starring a family production team out of the Catskills in New York, the intimate stillness and occult presence in relation to grief drives this film through paranoid spirals and out from the dirt of a shallow grave.

Rot

Origin: USA
​Directed by: Andrew Merrill
Starring: Kris Alexandrea, Johnny Kostrey, McKale Jude Bingham, Sara Young Chandler

Pressured by her grad schedule, thesis work, and crucial interviews, Madison breaks up with her boyfriend despite his hopes of taking the next step. Instead of getting the extra time to focus that she was hoping for, she is panicked when her ex becomes infected by a mysterious entity that starts to wreak havoc on her life and the people around her as it maliciously spreads like wildfire. This film fills the viewer with unease and quickly dominates in the realm of brutality and sci-fi gore.

Slaughterhouse Slumber Party

Director: Dustin Mills
Starring: Kayla Elizabeth, Erin R. Ryan, Haley Jay Madison, J. Ania Lupa

​The debauched annual slumber party for a close group of friends has arrived with plenty of naked pillow fights and liquor guzzling on the docket, but the new girl seems a little too into the occult. When the outsider’s sinister plans unleash, the sleepover turns into a fight for their lives against supernatural evil. A gory horror comedy homage to films like SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE and HARD TO DIE, this is local Midwest spectacle to be seen.

Uncle Peckerhead

Origin: USA
Director: Matthew John Lawrence
Starring: Chet Siegel, Ruby McCollister, Jeff Riddle, & David Littleton

Embarking on your band’s first tour is hard – finding places to sleep in strange towns, dealing with shady venue owners, and paying for basic needs are daily issues. To top it off, punk band leader Judy has to deal with Uncle Peckerhead, their friendly but man-eating roadie who leaves a trail of carnage at each of their stops. UNCLE PECKERHEAD works like a perfect punk rock anthem: fast, brutal, and bitingly hilarious.
