SPOOKY MOVIE: 2008 - THE 3RD ANNUAL WASHINGTON, D.C. INTERNATIONAL HORROR FILM FESTIVAL is excited to announce the American premiere of one of the most talked about films to come out of the U.K. in some time - the science-fiction/horror thriller BANE, which will anchor an evening of new shockers from England, as well as close out five days of THE FESTIVAL, on Monday, October 20 at 9:00 p.m.
"'We're really pleased to be a part of the Spooky Film Fest!" said director and producer Jim Eaves. "We look forward to showing the film for the first time in the U.S. in front of fellow fans of the horror genre!"
Katherine awakes in an underground cell with three other women; Jane, Natasha and Elaine. With complete amnesia Katherine and the other women have little time to wonder where they are before the arrival of the sadistic Dr Murdoch, the mysterious Handsome Man and the Surgeon. Each woman must piece together the dark secret behind the experiment and survive the Surgeon's nightly visitations of pain, torture and grisly murder. Is there any way to escape? What is the purpose of the experiment and who, or what, is screaming every time the lights go out?
"Bane is one of the most anticipated British indie pictures of recent years!"
