After another difficult year for many of us, Screamdance is back with a vengeance! In our hunt to bring you the most thought-provoking indie horror films of the past year, we came across many gems, such as Malaysia’s deforestation-themed ghost story Miimaland and Zombie Infection - Belaban Hidup, exploring the dangers of corporate greed. But there can be only five…
The films we’ve chosen for you - Vampir, Father of Flies, The Welder, Where’s Rose and The Secret of Sinchanee - tackle topical issues such as racism, sexual violence, isolation, mental health issues and family trauma, but also provide some bloody good laughs (with, of course, bloody being the operative word).
Prepare for devils, demons, vampires, evil stepmothers, creepy siblings and blow-torch wielding maniacs, as well as a bloodcurdling step-by-step account of how to make your own haggis.
