SHRIEK: Musarañas (Shrew's Nest)

SHRIEK: A Women of Horror Film Class continues at Naked City Brewery and Taphouse!  In March, discussion leaders and horror fanatics Evan J. Peterson and Heather Marie Bartels brought you the Pagan-paranoia masterpiece THE WICKER MAN, followed by the not-so-masterpiece remake on a special Heckle Night. In April, they bring you MUSARAÑAS (SHREW'S NEST), a Spanish Gothic gore extravaganza to satisfy your bloodtooth. Sponsored by Scarecrow Video and Crypticon Seattle!

 

This month is Heather's choice; since seeing MUSARAÑAS at SIFF a couple of years ago, Heather has adored this film and turned Evan onto it. Two sisters (always a good plan for a horror film) are shut-ins in their house of secrets, until a broken man shows up on their doorstep. Shrieking ensues!

SHRIEK is a community class merging film with education and offering an accessible forum outside of academia. The goal is to offer low-cost opportunities to learn about film and women's studies and to inspire more diverse filmmakers to get involved as creators in the genre. Naked City Brewery sponsors the series in their screening room, with film sponsorship from Scarecrow Video.
