Holy shit! 2020, wat een jaar. De halve wereld lijkt gek geworden en de andere helft ziet haar zomer in het water vallen.

Gelovers, ongelovers en twijfelaars kom het horen, geef u vol overgave aan Kont een beter, om gelukkiger mens te worden.

A dark Song

a

A determined young woman and a damaged occultist risk their lives and souls to perform a dangerous ritual that will grant them what they want. The ritual performed in the movie is the Abramelin Operation, an occult rite attempted by gnostics such as Alleister Crowley, meant to obtain "the knowledge and conversation" of the ritualist's guardian angel. Great Irish indy horror that somehow missed out on a festival run or theatrical release in our country.

DEAD DICKS follows Becca (Jillan Harris) as she attempts to pry her way out of a trap, only to be dragged into a world that defies nature and reason — the dilapidated apartment of her brother Richie (Heston Horwin). Answering an all too familiar barrage of calls from her down-and-out, suicidal brother, Becca rushes to his rescue only to find him… and an apartment full of corpses that look just like him. She scrambles to make sense of the heap of dead copies and the strange orifice that is producing them. Forced to dispose of the bodies while the square downstairs neighbour incessantly scolds her and threatens to call the police, she begins to question when this will stop, and how far will she go for her kin.

MOPE

mope

In the multibillion-dollar world of pornography, the term mope refers to a low-level, wannabe porn actor who perhaps isn’t quite well endowed or otherwise attractive enough to achieve the success granted to “bigger”-name porn stars. Within the seedy underbelly of the industry, mopes are the lowest of the low, hanging around sets and taking on menial jobs with aspirations of being called upon to participate in a colossal gang-bang scene that could (but most likely won’t) lead to their big break.
