Escape From Tribeca features films that fit squarely into genre territory, with the focus on horror, thrillers and cult cinema.
The Escape from Tribeca lineup will include:
Breeder – “An eccentric poodle breeder lures a broke college student to her remote ranch with a promise of research funding. But, as he soon learns, there’s a catch. Directed and written by Alex Goyette. Produced by Ian Start, Byron Ashley, Brian Mitchell, K. Asher Levin. With Daniel Doheny, Dot Marie Jones, Maddie Phillips, Tanaya Beatty.”
Dante – A paramedic ends up caught between two heavy-lifting crime lords in this fast – paced film, which is set over one night.
Death Boom – This is a documentary that looks at the looming end of the Baby Boomer era, and how it is affecting the funeral industry as well as the birth rate in America. Death Boom was produced by Eli Roth and Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Haunting of Pennhurst – Another documentary, this explores the past of Pennhurst Asylum (a well-known location to people who are into paranormal investigation), which was at one time an institution meant for people with disabilities. It closed in 1987 after many years of suspected abuse, but has now been reinvented as a haunted house run by a group of disabled performers.
Mutter: The Diary of a Mother – Gul has a traumatic experience while giving birth to her child, who is some sort of inhuman creature. Naturally, she wants to protect her infant…even if it may be evil.
Recluse – Joan returns to the home she grew up in to take care of her father, who is bedridden. Once she is home, Joan has to face her past, as well as the house that seems to harbor a dark energy.
Turn it Up! – In this Canadian film, an indie rock band thinks they can make it to the big time via a very catchy new guitar riff. But, it turns out the riff is cursed, and it opens a portal that leads to a terrifying dimension.
