The 2010 New York City Horror Film Festival has now concluded. All the bodies have hit the floor, been mopped up, and left the building. It was a great festival and I’m always humbled by the outpouring of support and love we receive. Not only from our home town (that just happens to be the greatest city on earth) but from the fans, filmmakers, and the industry as a whole world wide.
Lifetime Achievement Award: Mr. Robert Englund
Best Feature: YELLOWBRICKROAD by Andy Mitton and Jesse Holland

Bereavement / 110 min / USA
In 1989, six year old Martin Bristoll was kidnapped from his backyard swing in Minersville Pennsylvania. Graham Sutter, a psychotic recluse, kept Martin imprisoned on his derelict pig farm, forcing him to witness and participate in unspeakable horrors. Chosen at random, his victim’s screams were drowned out by the rural countryside. For five years, Martin’s whereabouts have remained a mystery, until 17 year old Allison Miller (Alexandra Daddario) comes to live with her Uncle, Jonathan (Michael Biehn). While exploring her new surroundings, Allison discovers things aren’t quite right at the farmhouse down the road. Her curiosity disturbs a hornet’s nest of evil and despair that once torn open, can never be closed. Starring Michael Biehn, Brett Rickaby, Alexandra Daddario, and John Savage. Written and Directed by Stevan Mena

Yellow Brick Road / 100 min / USA
One morning in 1940, the entire population of Friar, New Hampshire walked north together up an unmarked trial and into the wilderness. They left behind their clothes, money, and essentials. Their dogs were tied to posts and left to starve. Many were later found frozen to death. Others were found slaughtered. But most were never found. In 2010, the coordinates for the ‘YELLOWBRICKROAD’ trailhead are declassified. An expedition begins in hope of answers. A few among them believe they will find something terrible in the forest. But it is the forest that will find something terrible in them. Directed by Andy Mitton & Jesse Holland
