The Dark Bridges Film Festival Brings Ninja Zombies To Saskatoon.

We are thrilled to be announcing our full festival schedule. The first annual Dark Bridges Film Festival is bringing you a collection of horror, action, western, sci-fi, comedy and cult feature and short films from around the world. The 12 feature films and over 20 short films will entertain film fanatics this September 24th to 26th at the Roxy Theatre in Saskatoon, SK. Each of the feature films will screen with one to two short films. If you haven't already purchased your festival pass you really need to do so now. They are currently $60.00 and will go up to $70.00 for the month of September. Individual tickets for each movie are $8.00 at the door.

Opening Gala Presentation
We open the festival with the newest historical brutal action film CENTURION (Fri, Sept. 24, 7pm) from British director Neil Marshal (DOG SOLDIERS, THE DESCENT, DOOMSDAY). After the 9th Roman Legion is decimated by an attack from the Picts the few survivors have to band together as they are hunted down.

Cannibals, Zombies and Werewolves welcome
No genre festival would be complete without its share of creature features. This year we have have a wide selection of creatures to meet your tastes. WEREWOLF FEVER (Sat, Sept. 25, 1pm) opens up our creature day with a blast of comedy and gore as a werewolf attacks a local burger joint. Our second creature feature is the disturbing mockumentary about cannibalism LONG PIGS (Sat, Sept. 25, 3:30pm). Saturday night brings us to Zombie time with a double feature of the Spanish horror films [REC] (Sat, Sept. 25, 7pm) and [REC] 2 (Sat, Sept. 25, 9:30pm). Both of these first person shot zombie flicks will have you jumping out of your skin. Our final creature feature is the midnight madness screening of DEATH OF THE DEAD (Sat, Sept. 25, 12 midnight). All I need to say about this hilarious comedy horror is Zombie Ninjas!

Midnight Madness
In addition to our Saturday Midnight screening of DEATH OF THE DEAD we will also be screening EL MONSTRO DEL MAR! (Fri, Sept. 24, midnight) This Austrailian mash up of FASTER PUSSY CAT KILL KILL with a tentacle sea monster will definitely get a rise out of you.

Terror in the Woods
Not every horror movie that takes place in the woods involves teens being hunted down by an indestructible killer. In DAWNING (Fri, Sept. 24, 9:30pm) terror is delivered upon a family as an intruder breaks into their cabin claiming an unknown monster has killed his girlfriend. This dark scary horror will chill you to the bones.

Canadian Historical Drama as part of Canada Culture Days
We are extremely proud to be presenting the Manitoba created BLACK FIELD (Sun, Sept. 26, 1pm) Danishka Esterhazy has created a beautiful dark historical drama about two young sisters living alone on an isolated farm who become involved with a stranger who is interested in more than just spending a night in their barn while his horse rests. Admission for BLACK FIELD will be by donation for those who do not have a festival pass.
 
Come out for some laughs
The Irish black comedy A FILM WITH ME IN IT (Sun, Sept. 26, 3:30pm) is best seen without knowing anything about it. Trust us when we say it will have you laughing throughout as things go from bad to worse for all the characters. If you are thinking that things will be wrapping up early Sunday you are totally wrong. We have a terrific double bill to wrap up the festival. At 7pm you get the chance to see Adrien Brody as the drug dealing Psycho Ed in HIGH SCHOOL (Sun, Sept. 26, 7pm). This stoner comedy had everyone rolling on the floor at the Toronto After Dark and this is your one and chance to catch it in theatre.  This leads us to our closing night Gala...

Closing Gala Presentation
How do you describe a film like THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE WEIRD (Sun, Sept. 26, 9:30pm) in just a couple of sentences? This Korean Kimchi Western takes everything that you enjoy about blockbuster films and adds a terrific sense of humour, practical special effects and chase scene that rivals any of Hollywood's best blockbuster films.
