Estonia, 2024, Sander Maran
“10 years in the making. Estonia's crazy genre bomb is here,” the teaser said, and since then CHAINSAW WERE SINGING has been played up and down at genre festivals around the world. It's high time to bring the Estonian chainsaw musical to the cinema in this country too — as a Swiss premiere.
LA LA LAND, WICKED and CHAINSAW WERE SINGING. A new star has been added to the list of high-quality blockbuster musicals. Depressed Tom finds new energy when he falls in love with Mary. But then she is abducted by a chainsaw-wielding maniac named Killer. Off to the rescue mission!
New Zealand, 2024, Sasha Rainbow
With GRAFTED, we present you the first feature film by director Sasha Rainbow as a Swiss premiere. Body horror from New Zealand that literally gets under your skin.
Student Wei is damn smart and ambitious, socially but rather clumsy. After the death of her father, she continues his research. The goal: to heal a skin disease that also affects them and eats away at their self-worth. In the context of her new school, her quest for popularity and beauty is taking on ever more frightening features. GRAFTED offers fantastic effects and takes a critical look at social norms and obsessive ideals of beauty.
Australia/USA, 2005, Jaume Collet-Serra
Paris Hilton instead of Vincent Price: HOUSE OF WAX from 2005 is one of these new editions that has achieved the unimaginable. Instead of producing another interchangeable teen horror flick, Jaume Collet-Serra has gone deep into the splatter box and delighted horror newbies just as much as long-established Gorehounds. Finally back on the big screen for the 20th anniversary.
A group of young people are involuntarily stranded in a remote village, where they come across the ominous “House of Wax.” In it, they find not only wax figures, but also deadly dangers. As mistrust waxes, a brutal fight for survival begins.
Subsequent update 26.12.2024: Due to a misunderstanding regarding the licensing rights, we unfortunately had to remove STREET TRASH and JAWS 3-D from the program. We apologize to you and will find high-quality replacements.
