This expressive Latvian animated film plunges us into a grotesque and unhinged religious universe steeped in excess and perversion. Set in the 18th century, the story unfolds in a bleak Baltic village where witch hunts and other atrocities reign – and where a werewolf-like figure embarks on a mythical quest for revenge.

The polished and visually striking animation, combined with heavy synth-driven music, creates an alien and nightmarish world that feels completely unrestrained. Here, profound horror coexists with outrageous humor.

What wouldn’t one do for love – and when has one gone too far? Honey Bunch introduces us to the young married couple Diana and Homer. Diana has recently woken from a coma and suffers from memory loss, prompting the couple to check into a remote, alternative trauma rehabilitation center. During their stay, Diana begins to experience disturbing visions of female patients – and eventually of herself.

When a zombie apocalypse breaks out, a group of drag queens at a queer Brooklyn nightclub must use their unique skills to fight the undead.

Directed by Tina Romero, daughter of legendary horror filmmaker George A. Romero, Queens of the Dead brings a fresh and loving twist to the zombie genre. With this debut feature, Romero forges her own path – rooted in genuine affection for horror cinema.

In his third feature, director Paolo Strippoli continues to explore the horror genre, building a story around humanity’s desire to shield itself from suffering. But what happens if pain is removed entirely?
