7 Festival Favorite Horror Flicks To Look Out For In 2015

After sitting through a year's worth of horror movies, it's time to start compiling my all-encapsulating "Best Of 2014" and "Worst Of 2014" awards lists, but before we get there, I'd like to highlight a few festival favorites that have yet to find a proper release. While most of the films I've loved have received public recognition in the same year they hit the circuit, like Stage Fright, there are a few PHENOMENAL films still waiting for their moment in the sun. While I can happily report most have reached distribution deals already, that still doesn't mean they don't deserve another bump to freshen your minds!

OK – I’m not 100% certain that Norway belongs on a list discussing horror movies to look forward to, because it’s more a dark comedy about house-music-loving vampires, but if WolfCop and Zombeavers made the cut, Norway deserves the mention as well.

Norway comes from the mind of Greek writer/director Yannis Veslemes, and explores the old-school Eastern European club scene through the eyes of a vampire named Zano, who must keep dancing to stay alive (according to him). From here he falls for a woman, becomes tangled in a Nazi plot, and never stops keeping the beat alive.

Norway is a trippy dreamscape that plays out like a Michel-Gondry-inspired vampire comedy, artistically going outside of the box by utilizing toys to show longer travel scenes and lighting every scene like a fluorescent disco club. Different characters have different colored blood, couches fly, and vampires eat soup with garlic – yet Zano’s infectious energy plays out like a bit of vampiric beat poetry.

Between Norway, Only Lovers Left Alive, and A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, 2014 restored my faith in vampires almost completely.
