The Editor

Directors Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy
Year 2014
Run Time 95min
Genre Horror
In this wild homage to the often pulpy, violent and sexually-charged Italian Giallo horror genre of the 1960s and ‘70s, a one handed editor becomes the prime suspect in a series of grisly murders in his studio. As the murders around him begin to mirror the plot of the movie he’s editing, the lines between art and life begin to blur in a surreal – and often campy – way.

A modern classic from the Winnipeg filmmaking collective Astron-6, The Editor is a terrific send-up of genre clichés that is sure to please any horror fan.

“a knowing pastiche of the giallo genre, so incoherent and ridiculous it could almost pass for the genuine article” – Anton Bidel, Sight & Sound
