Horror and the surreal go hand in hand. Everyone has felt the touch of the uncanny valley stemming from our subconscious – characters find themselves in nightmarish situations, get lost in seemingly boundless spaces which exist at the crossroads of reality and the subconscious. From silent films to found footage, film buff Joonas Lass has curated an hour-long programme that cruises through different horror-infused worlds. “Night Terror” is for those who crave a bit of everything – something sinister gnawing at your neck, bits of psychologically thrilling sadism, a ghostly presence that you can’t quite touch or even something absurdly musical. These films are a testament to the creativity of the filmmakers – using the resources and means available to them at their respective periods, they conjure impressive pieces that induce powerful emotions while leaving traditional narrative in the background.
