"Undoubtedly one of the best shows I've seen this year. Masterful. Woefully under appreciated. I cannot wait until next year! *****"

"That was honestly one of the best live soundtrack performance screenings I've attended at the HorrorFest, and I've been to almost all 15 of them. The Makabra Ensemble just keeps getting better every year. It helps that the film was a real gem. More, please. "
