Philippe Spurell's The Descendant opens in Montreal next Friday !

Hey Montrealers, you're all invited to assist to the theatrical premiere of Phil Spurrell's chilling surnatural drama The Descendant. This film is a little wonder, made without any government funds, it reminds us of a forgotten chapter of Canada's dark history with the help of a few good scares. The film played in multiple events, won the award for best picture at the Philadelphia Film Festival and got rave reviews from Rue Morgue and Film Threat. It opens next Friday at Montreal's only repertory theater, the much beloved Cinema du Parc. Come support real independant cinema !

Love a good ghost story? A young man visits the eerie secluded farmhouse of his estranged grandparents and uncovers a horrifying family secret. This supernatural tale was inspired by a controversial part of Quebec history that will haunt you for a very long time. If there is one film that everyone in Quebec absolutely must see, this is it. You will also be amazed at what is possible in truly independent cinema. Expect lush photography and a powerful soundtrack.
In a world of overly familiar films, this one has a truly unique shocker ending. After moving audiences during its lengthy festival run, this theatrical premiere is not to be missed!

If you're not in Montreal, don't worry. Hopefully, the success of these screenings will help this indie gem to travel all over the country.
