2020: MONSTER FEST

Australia's premier genre film festival, Monster Fest, is excited to welcome the world's premium genre film streaming service, Shudder, on board as an official sponsor of 2020: Monster Fest.

SWITCH has collected the best of this year's offerings, and presented them in a terrifyingly convenient place - so check out our reviews below!

THE DARK AND THE WICKED

2020's scariest film

Terrifyingly well-crafted, moodily evocative, and best watched through one's fingers.

12 HOUR SHIFT

The most fun you'll have in a hospital

While fun, it's exactly the horror-comedy affair you'd expect from a B-grade movie. It expects its audience to come for the blood and the belly laughs, but doesn't dig anything deeper.

POSSESSOR

Engrossingly gross Cronenbergian body horror

A fever dream, delivering unsettling violence, thought-provoking creativity and remorseless direction. Its revelations about the monsters within have a lasting resonance.

LEAP OF FAITH: WILLIAM FRIEDKIN ON THE EXORCIST

An utterly fascinating chat with a legend of cinema

For those with a love for 'The Exorcist', this documentary will provide great stories and fascinating moments from the man who put it all together.

EVENT HORIZON

Revisiting the sci-fi horror cult classic

You shouldn't feel too guilty for enjoying the aesthetics and crackerjack premise of 'Event Horizon', even if some of the effects are a bit hokey.
