20 Horror Films That Will Chill You To The Bone In 2015
12. Felt
Having world premiered to great acclaim this past September at Austins Fantastic Fest, Felt is the next film made in director Jason Bankers exciting voice (following the unsettling Toad Road), one that smashes doc and fiction together as he builds narrative around a real life subject. Amy Everson stars as a traumatised artist who slips into elaborate fantasies to escape her troubles with men, making mischief in the wilds of her imagination under the guise of a bluntly Freudian yet skillfully crafted alter-ego. Its possible that Felt is the first film in a new offshoot of the rape/revenge genre. With the praise pouring in, its certain that Felt is a beautiful film from one of the most exciting new directors working today, anchored by an equally praised performance. It's been said that Felt sends rape/revenge movies like I Spit On Your Grave running with their tails between their legs, as the main character's psychosexual paranoia produces acts of malice not easily shaken.
