ASIAN MOVIE NIGHT PRESENTS THE ADVENTURE OF DENCHU-KOZO & ONE CUT OF THE DEAD (DOUBLE BILL)

Asian Movie Night is pleased to return to the LAB111 with a special double-bill program, featuring two films in one night: Hiruko the Goblin (1991) and Vampire Clay (2017).

The films are part of the program Shapes of Fear B-Movie Oddities and Experimental Asian Horror. Shapes of Fear brings together Asian B-movies, cult oddities, and experimental horror that explore the strange shapes of fear. The program features two Japanese double bills alongside a selection of Asian horror shorts from East and Southeast Asia. From Malay folklore and the Pontianak to cyberpunk body-horror, these films twist genre conventions as bodies mutate, the everyday turns uncanny, and terror slips into laughter.

Rooted in the unruly spirit of the B-movie, these works embrace chaos, camp, and visible seams, revealing cinema as an act of creative rebellion. Horror is at its most compelling when it reveals its own construction.
