CHEAP THRILLS
USA, (2013) 83 min, Directed by E.L. Katz
A diabolically smart skewing of the horrors of economic slavery and the exploitation of the working class that practically dares its audience not to look away, CHEAP THRILLS explodes with dirty deeds done anything but dirt cheap.
FOR ELISA
Spain, (2013) 80 min., Directed by Juanra Fernandez
Para Elisa is a terrifying story based on a simple, innocent children’s game. Something that looks naive and harmless turns into the worst nightmare, into the struggle to escape a tragic and expected end, into an explicit and inevitable horror.
GOLDBERG & EISENBERG
Israel, (2012) 90 min., Directed by Oren Carmi
In the tradition of dark suspense features such as “Misery”, “Cape Fear” and “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle”, the film weaves a setting of erratic encounters, which drastically evolves into an insane hunt across a bizarre and hectic Tel Aviv. Starting with black comic undertones, the story gradually gravitates into an unpredictable whirlwind of terror.
