Denver Roundup: A few pix from a warm reception

Fessenden Screens the 4 Monsterverse Films at Denver’s Sie Film Center, a hub for enthusiastic cinephiles bonded by the enthusiasm of Scream Screen host and curator Theresa Mercado and Sie Film programmer Kieth Garcia. DEPRAVED, BLACKOUT and HABIT Discs sell out at the VS table.

Monsterverse heads to Denver CO, Sept 12 & 13

HABIT
“ONE OF THE 13 BEST HORROR FILMS OF THE 90s!“
FANGORIA

DEPRAVED
“While ’90s American cinema tends to play up the legacies of auteur superpowers
like Tarantino and PTA, Larry Fessenden deserves just as much appreciation.”
—Eric Kohn, INDIEWIRE

BLACKOUT
“the idiosyncratic earnestness of an experienced horrormeister
playing with the classics still makes for a substantial midnight snack.”
—Robert Abele, LOS ANGELES TIMES

TRAUMA
“heartbreaking by itself, but taken with the three earlier films, it looks very much like a masterpiece.
Fessenden is at the stage of his career now where he’s the elder statesman:
the dispenser of advice, the creator of a body of work he’s stitched together here into a sad monster, shambling, sentient, alive…and beautiful. So beautiful. And brutal. Life is like that.
—Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
