“It’s a family project. Christopher Apostolof — the real-life son of original director Stephen C. Apostolof — gave his blessing to this continuation. Which means this bizarre, crowdfunded, micro-budget film carries with it a surprising dose of legacy. A sense of lineage. A sense that someone cared enough to revive a strange little footnote in cult-cinema history and say: Let’s see what we can do with it. Let’s give the weirdos their due. Let’s keep the flame alive.” - Marc Waters, The Quiet Room Between Frames

"Stylish, sexy and often downright sleazy, Dressed To Kill may borrow a lot from Hitchcock’s Psycho and Dario Argento’s giallo films but it does so with a good sense of fun." - Ian Jane, Rock Shock Pop

Eric Binford lives for the movies... sometimes he kills for them too!

Our Late Shift at the Grindhouse 12 year anniversary celebration continues!

Preceded by an encore screening of the new Matriarch Films short, Bleeders.

Iris (Allison Chains) is hooked on Ichor, a mysterious and powerful drug that offers strength and euphoria at the cost of an unquenchable thirst for human blood. Finding herself out of Ichor, blood, and time, Iris takes to the streets to hunt for more. From Carrsan T. Morrissey (Of the Flesh, The Salvages, The Conqueror Worm) comes Bleeders, a new tale of death and depravity.

“Frankenstein's Bloody Terror endures as a quintessential representative of this era’s Eurohorror output. Characters might be thinly-developed, and the plot might be mostly nonsensical, but you absolutely can’t f**k with its sense of style and atmosphere.” - Brett Gallman, Oh, the Horror!
