FRIGHT NIGHT THEATRE 2014 AWARD WINNERS

This year, Fright Night Theatre is proud to have exposed genre fans to some of the best independent Canadian and international horror, thriller, and exploitation films of 2014 as part of our first-ever competitive screening programme. First, we took die-hard fans back to the boobs and blood of Tromaville for Return to Nuke'Em High (Volume 1). We tuned in to the mystery of German horror-thriller Radio Silence. We delved deep into the monstrous Canadian woods for a fatal Silent Retreat. Then we capped things off by skewering the New York art scene from the greasy hot dog cart of Bag Boy Lover Boy.

 It's been a stellar season, and we're now thrilled to announce the winners of the first annual FRIGHT NIGHT THEATRE AWARDS, chosen by you the audience and our tireless team of film programmers.

Fright Night Theatre is excited to debut the Ontario Premiere of BAG BOY LOVER BOY as our final official selection in our competitive 2014 season.

BAG BOY LOVER BOY 

|| Ontario Premiere! ||

Directed by Andres Torres
(USA) 2014, 77 mins

Hot off its World Premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival, Bag Boy Lover Boy is the new underground cult film that the The Hollywood Reporter raves is "tailor-made for the midnight crowd." Oddball hotdog vendor and love-lorn loser Albert is shocked to find himself thrust into the world of perverse fetish art photography when  an an enigmatic NYC photographer named Ivan plucks him from obscurity to be his bizarre new muse and model. However, when Ivan accidentally leaves Albert with the keys to his studio, Albert decides that his best way to woo women is to become a freelance photographer. Soon, Albert is luring call girls and drunken women away from parties with the promise of modelling gigs that in his inept hands soon turn deadly and increasingly depraved. But what will happen when he, unable to distinguish sleazy art from reality, finally convinces the girl of his dreams to get behind the camera? Melding dark humour with shocking violence, Bag Boy Lover Boy serves up a morbid satire of New York's pretentious art scene and gallery culture. "A true and daring piece of underground cinema" (All Things Horror)

Principal Cast: Jon Wachter, Theodore Bouloukos, Kathy Biehl, Kara Peterson
