\"\"<\/a>For the eighth straight year the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival comes to New York City to debut and celebrate a slew of horror films, from the independents to the masters. The Festival runs<\/strong><\/a> from\u00a0October 12th<\/sup> through October 19th<\/strong>\u00a0with all screenings held at\u00a0Nitehawk Cinema\u2019s Williamsburg\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Prospect Park\u00a0<\/strong>locations. This year, the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival is placing an emphasis on J Horror with tributes to Hideo Nakata and what became a sub-genre.<\/p>\n

Here are five films on the schedule I\u2019m looking forward to.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The J-Horror Virus (2023) \u2013 North American Premiere<\/strong>
\n\u201cMore than two decades ago, a group of Japanese directors including Hideo Nakata, Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Takashi Shimizu ushered in a new wave of\u00a0horror\u00a0cinema that completely changed the game.\u201d The Sarah Appleton and Jasper Sharp directed documentary sounds like it could really be a great visit in to a period of horror cinema that was once very popular for studios. I\u2019m very interested to see what the directing team of Appleton and Sharp has to say about this topic.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maniac Cop (1988) – 35th Anniversary (w\/ Q&A)<\/strong>
\n\u201cCelebrate 35 years of \u201980s\u00a0horror\u00a0excellence as we screen NYC\u00a0horror\u00a0royalty Bill Lustig\u2019s raucous classic Maniac Cop, in which an undead police officer goes on a gruesome Big Apple rampage.\u201d The William Lustig horror classic is celebrating its thirty fifth anniversary and will be screening for audiences with a special Q&A afterward. There is never a bad time to re-visit \u201cManiac Cop,\u201d as it\u2019s one of the last great horror gems of the golden age of 1980\u2019s horror.<\/p>\n

Property (2023) \u2013 NY Premiere
\n<\/strong>\u201cOn the verge of losing their only source of work and shelter, tensions erupt as a community of exploited farmhands wage bloody rebellion against their employers.\u201d Horror films about class warfare and the class gap are becoming huge, and the Brazilian made \u201cProperty\u201d sounds like a crazy violent good time. Director Daniel Bandeire has what feels like a powder keg of a horror movie for movie fans, and I look forward to seeing the lunacy unfold.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ringu (1998) – 25th Anniversary (4K Restoration)<\/strong>
\n\u201cA seminal work of scary-as-hell J-horror\u00a0excellence, Hideo Nakata\u2019s classic receives a well-deserved special 25th anniversary screening to give fans and newcomers alike post-viewing sleepless nights.\u201d Hideo Nakata\u2019s horror classic is one of the first really influential J horror films that set the template for what would become a humongous trend for horror cinema in the early aughts. It\u2019s still a very good, entertaining, and creepy tech horror and ghost film that warrants re-visiting and celebration.<\/p>\n

Satan Wants You (2023)
\n<\/strong>\u201cThe Satanic Panic\u201d craze of the eighties is one of the most intriguing and engaging topics in pop culture history. In the 1980\u2019s, all of America were horrified and paranoid about Satanic influence and the Satanic influence of seemingly mundane stuff like Rock music and \u201cDungeons and Dragons.\u201d Sean Horlor and Steven J. Adams have a great topic to cover, and I\u2019m interested to see how they examine the mind set that was the \u201cSatanic Panic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
