The Scary of Sixty-First (dir. Dasha Nekrasova) x VIFF 2021.

Roommates Addie (Betsey Brown) and Noelle (co-writer Madeline Quinn) soon encounter strange occurrences and possessions happening in their posh new but cursed apartment. Nothing is out of bounds as Nekrasova and Quinn’s giallo-tinged script goes for some fairly shocking gonzo visuals as Addie becomes possessed by the spirit of one of [Jeffrey] Epstein’s underage victims who enacts strange occultist rituals and disturbing sexual behaviour.

• Screening at the Rio Theatre on January 17.
