STOP PRESS! THE WOMAN - MELBOURNE & SYDNEY PREVIEW SCREENINGS WITH Q&A!
August 4th 2011 01:06
Fresh from the Sundance Film Festival where it created a storm of outrage and controversy, new Australian distribution company Monster Pictures is proud to announce the worldwide theatrical release of what they're calling the most intelligent yet gruesome horror film for many years, Lucky McKee's The Woman (2011), based on a novel by Jack Ketchum.
Two screenings - one at Melbourne's Cinema Nova on Tuesday the 9th of August at 6.30pm with host Lee Zachariah and the other at Sydney's Chauvel Cinema on Wednesday the 10th of August at 8pm with host Jamie Leonarder.
Both sessions will be followed by a Q&A with director Lucky McKee and the woman herself, the incredible Pollyanna McIntosh.
According to Monster Pictures, "We promise you that you will never have seen a horror film quite like The Woman. It is a horror experience unlike anything you have seen before - imagine Todd Solondz clutching a butcher's knife and hacking in to David Lynch's eye and you're getting half way there ... This film will blow your minds."
Well I'm suitably amped! Jack Ketchum is a brilliant horror novelist, and I loved Lucky's May (2002) so if The Woman is as imaginative, stylish and fucked up as that movie and Ketchum's Off Season (one of my favourite horror novels), I'll be one happy horror camper!
Here's the trailer:

Seeing it tonight - at the far less civilised hour of 11 p.m!!! (Though there's something great, for sure, about coming out into the early morning streets after a horror movie screening).
McKee will be up very late fielding questions! Big fan of May too. Hopefully this is in the same class.
