Pandora and that Damned Box

Best of Long-form shorts

(US/Canada/Denmark)

Here are four short tales with high production values, tons of blood, and nowhere to run. You won’t stop screaming, crying, and laughing. Maibritt Saerens is a two-timing bitch who kills her lover in front of her husband in the gloriously gory and over-the-top comedy, The Headless Lover. He’s not angry about being killed, but simply didn’t finish his orgasm yet! When the lights go out in the house, two best friends are led on an adventure of paranormal encounters in the chilling Enter the Dark. After meeting the woman of his dreams, a lonely office drone must resort to desperate measures for a date in the wondefully-directed short film, Impostor. Worm is a thought-provoking dark drama following the fragile and increasingly terrifying mental state of a misanthropic high school teacher. Think Falling Down meets Breaking Bad.

They're Coming to Get You, Barbara!

Best of US Shorts

(US)

Here is a collection of eight short horror films from the United States. A Mexican-American family picks-up a creepy hitchhiker in Desert Road Kill, but when there’s a machete involved, things really start going to pieces! And see what poor Bob is reduced to doing when his latest motion picture goes horribly wrong in the hilarious black comedy, Dummy. When a young man wakes up in a bathtub of ice in Incubator, he realizes that some “urban legends” are painfully true. A neurotic woman seeks professional help in Psycho Therapy, but what’s more painful? The cure or the medicine? When a creepy co-worker asks to join the Carpool, he gets the ride of his life. Flush with Fear depicts the danger of reading aloud those messages you see written on bathroom stalls. They may just turn out to be satanic incantations! In Deviling, a woman experiences her worst fear after a failed relationship with a mortician. From the creators of Cornerboys (Nevermore 2011), The House of the Yaga takes a fairy tale back to its darkest, bloodiest roots in this illustrated story about a walking house.

Wrath of the Foreign Invaders

Best of International Shorts

(Various countries)

For the first time in Nevermore history, we’ve collected nine of the best short films from around the world into one spectacular program. From Paraguay, all hell breaks loose when a popular glam band is given some strange music with magical powers in Metal Creepers. Job interviews can be hell, especially if you’re an out-of-work monster looking to become Switzerland’s Employee of the Month, a wonderfully charming homage to the creatures of yesteryear. A serial killer’s bad day gets worse when he picks up the wrong girl in the Canadian shocker, Doll Parts. Evil alien spiders invade the home of an all-girl rock band in the hilarious Australian comedy, The Acid Spiders. Six adventurers embark on a quest to find a mystical cemetery in the Peruvian jungle in Portugal’s Banana Motherfucker. From Ireland comes The Room, a mind-bending journey into cyberspace…or is it? Cornelia sure loves her Polaroid pictures in Switzerland’s Tirages en serie, a bloody tale about psychiatry, neuroses and…cameras. Little Danny must play Hide & Seek in a scary Canadian robot factory, but is this a dream or is it real? A naked man finds himself stalked in the woods by an unseen assailant in the electrifying French thriller, All Men are Called Robert.
