The Brooklyn Horror Film Festival has unveiled its impressive lineup for the 2023 edition, which is set to run from October 12-19, with all screenings scheduled to take place at Nitehawk Cinema’s Williamsburg and Prospect Park locations.
The festival promises to offer film enthusiasts an unearthly selection of films and events to look forward to, including the inaugural Leviathan Award, which will be presented to iconic NYC horror filmmaker, William Lustig.
This award will be presented at a special 35th-anniversary screening of Lustig’s acclaimed film, MANIAC COP, followed by a post-screening conversation with the celebrated director.
The Opening Night film at the festival will be the World Premiere of KILL YOUR LOVER, directed by Alix Austin and Kier Siewert.
This duo had previously announced themselves to the BHFF audience last year with their short film, SUCKER.
BHFF 2023 will also showcase the World Premieres of three more exciting new films: Jaco Bouwer’s unsettling BREATHING IN, Aimee Kuge’s audacious debut CANNIBAL MUKBANG, and Tyler Chipman’s powerfully creepy debut THE SHADE.
Moreover, the festival’s other spotlight titles will include director Pascal Plante’s recently announced Utopia Distribution title RED ROOMS as the festival’s Centerpiece Film, and Jenn Wexler’s ’70s supernatural Christmas horror THE SACRIFICE GAME as the Closing Night Film.
