Next week, the city that never sleeps will have good reason to stay awake.
The New York City Horror Film Festival will be held November 12-15, and courtesy of IFC Midnight and the festival, we have four pairs of tickets to give away to the opening night presentation of #HORROR, written and directed by Tara Subkoff. The cast is led by Chloe Sevigny, Timothy Hutton, Natasha Lyonne, Balthazar Getty, and Taryn Manning.
Here's the official synopsis:
Inspired by actual events, a group of 12-year-old girls face a night of HORROR when the compulsive addiction of an online social media game turns a moment of a cyber bullying to a night of insanity. Tara Subkoff explores the rarefied world of the East Coast privileged through the eyes of a group of 12-year-old girls left alone and pursued by a killer. The film examines a world of escalating cruelty and alienation through an online game where scoring likes comes at the cost of human lives.
