Nevermore Film Festival February 17th - 19th, 2012

Durham, NC, the time is upon us! Get out your seat cushion, load up on a pack of tums and turn off your iphone! This weekend, the Carolina Theatre in Durham will unleash a three day phantasmagoria of genre film during their thirteenth annual Nevermore Film Festival that is guaranteed to astound, shock and amaze you.

MVP attends the Nevermore Film Festival year after year in the hopes of discovering new hidden gems such as Bubba Ho-Tep, Rubber and The Black Death to name a few. Jim Carl, the senior director, and his committee never cease to amaze with their prescient selection of genre films. The festival always pleases those hoping to discover a new voice in the genre as well as those looking to enjoy the great films of the past. The diverse lineup at Nevermore – dare I say – never disappoints and this year’s selection looks to be no different.

Get the rest after the leap!

The Innkeepers (2011)

From the Nevermore Film Festival website senior director Jim Carl notes that there are “Seven new features, twenty-one shorts, and four classics made the “final cut.” The selections are as diverse as the members on our committee and include an Italian zombie movie to a slow-burning medical horror-drama to our first-ever double feature. It’s a fantastic line-up.”

Truer words have seldom been spoken as this year’s schedule consists of everything but the kitchen sink. You have gory Italian zombie movies like Eaters and Ti West’s new horror venture The Innkeepers alongside genre classics such as Rosemary’s Baby, Night of the Creeps, and The Sentinel. There will be shorts featuring the best new work from aspiring directors from across the country, North Carolina and even Paraguay. The Nevermore Film Festival has new gems, cult classics, fresh popcorn and beer and Biff the Movie Dog! What more do you need?

MVP has compiled a Nevermore Primer for you consisting of links to trailers for the full length features playing at this year’s festival. For the full lineup visit the official Nevermore Film Festival schedule.
