Fear and Faith Horror Festival

United States · Years Running: First Year

5:00 PM, Friday 2/20 A deadly succubus is preying on libidinous black men in New York City, and all that stands in her way is a minister-in-training, an aspiring actor, and a cop who specializes in cases involving the supernatural. Blood, gore, and non-PC humor ensue. “Def By Temptation is smart, sexy, chaotic, and weirdly progressive.” (Sharai Bohannon, Dread Central) Directed by James Bond III 7:00 PM, Friday 2/20 A baby of mysterious origin disrupts the lives of a troubled suburban couple and brings a renegade priest and a Pagan cult into a conflict that threatens to end the Christian era. Who will emerge victorious? Inspired by Arthur Machen’s The Great God Pan. Directed by Brett Stillo 9:00 PM, Friday 2/20 A group of sinners involved in interconnected tales of murder, revenge, deceit and adultery all meet at the Gates of Hell. Then...things get worse. Much, much worse. Rarely screened, Jigoku's fascinating and extremely graphic (predating H.G. Lewis’s Blood Feast by several years) depiction of Buddhist Hell, along with its noir-esque tone and surreal elements, has deservedly made this a cult classic. Absolutely mandatory viewing! “Jigoku is more than merely a boundary-pummeling classic of the horror genre-it’s as lurid a study of sin without salvation as the silver screen has ever seen.” (Chuck Stephens, The Criterion Collection) Directed by Nobuo.
