Comfort Film Halloween Presents a Double Feature

CICADA! I WAS A TEENAGE HORROR MOVIE (USA, 1997/2022, dir. Keil Troisi) &
M10.28 (USA, 1999, dir. Bruce Neubauer)

In 1997, tweens with a VHS camera filmed a horror epic.
25 years later, they edited it—as a comedy.

Soak in the gloriously glitchy VHS splendor of this remixed horror-comedy that is at once a bloody twist on vampire lore and an endearing portrait of filmmakers coming of "rage," struggling to make an ambitious home movie—each playing multiple roles, spilling dimestore blood in a slew of murder scenes, and testing testicular limits with a homemade zip-line setpiece.
