Hacked Off
Synopsis
The following day, eight students arrive in the region to party at a remote cottage, ignorant to the massive manhunt ensuing. Amongst the dysfunctional group are couples Owen and Amy and Faye and Jenny, techno-geek Lewis and his prim sister Rachel, Winch the moron and Dutch hitchhiker, David.
As night falls, their frolics are rudely interrupted by a police officer. Warning them of the escaped assailant, he soon becomes the next victim.
As tensions fray and suspicions rise, the atmosphere quickly turns bleak as the group find themselves trapped, dispersed and, one by one, at the mercy of Sykes and the tools of his new trade.
During the bloody night, Sykes stockpiles his prey into a makeshift morgue until Rachel, the sole-survivor, exacts a fitting revenge upon Sykes and puts an end to his relentless killing spree.
Six months later, Rachel has struggled to rebuild her life in the city. Unbeknown, Sykes returns to finish his job enforcing the premise that no one escapes the 'Butcher of Basquerville' alive!
Hacked Off carefully blends humour with chilling horror to create a fulfilling homage to the traditional slasher movie.

The Wilding
Director: Adam Park
Year:
Told through leaked footage compiled by a whistle-blower, the film follows Emma and Richard, a couple thrust into the wilderness to survive for 100 days. Their confidence quickly turns to terror as a malevolent creature begins stalking them, ultimately killing Richard in a gruesome attack. Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science. With the odds stacked against her, Emma turns the tables - delivering brutal justice with unexpected aid from the very horror that was meant to destroy her. A darkly satirical blend of horror, sci-fi, and mockumentary, THE WILDING exposes the monstrous extremes the powerful will go to cheat death - and the human cost of their ambition.
