ABOUT
If you aren’t yet convinced we should be taking better, and if the real-life environmental consequences of aren't horrifying enough, maybe it's time to watch the earth wreak bloody vengeance on its callous human inhabitants.
From killer plants and animals, catastrophic weather events, and disquieting encounters with the nonhuman, eco-horror builds on popular conceptions of zoology, ecology, and the scientific process. Eco-horror is uniquely situated to imagine life, art, and the dangers of scientific knowledge in the Anthropocene.
Each of our screening sessions runs for about 90 minutes, but you can come early, grab a snack and listen to some tunes.
