The program

• October 30 at 7 p.m.: The Mill Killers

This town is haunted. Not by ghosts, but by memories. Four girls return to an abandoned steel mill to retrieve stolen money. Locked inside and hunted, the secret that binds them will be what tears them apart.

• October 30 at 9 p.m.: Oddity

• October 31 at 7 p.m.: Fréwaka

One of the first horror films in the Irish language, Fréwaka draws inspiration from traditional mythology. Shoo is a home care worker haunted by a personal tragedy. She is sent to a remote village to care for an agoraphobic woman who fears her neighbors as much as she fears the Na Sídhe, sinister entities who, she believes, kidnapped her decades ago. As the two women develop a strangely deep bond, Shoo becomes consumed by the old woman's paranoia, rituals, and superstitions, eventually confronting the horrors of her own past.

• October 31 at 9 p.m.: Kill

A hunting trip turns tragic when three brothers plot to eliminate their abusive father.
