The Shriekfest Film Festival, an international horror/sci-fi film and screenplay competition, has announced its 2015 lineup and is slated to screen the tension-filled thriller Hunting on Saturday, October 3 at 6:15 p.m., continuing the festival’s second evening of feature films and following two blocks of short films that begin at noon.
The movie, written and directed by Dutch Marich, follows a lonely girl who, after discovering the “treasures” of Los Angeles, embarks on an awakening journey that ends up bringing her face to face with a murderous nightmare.
