BUFF Homegrown Horror Chapter VI: Discomfort Food at the Brattle Theatre

BUFF invites you to squirm at our table, to sample the hell-broth of today’s New England horror. It’s a heart-stopping stew, steeped in alternate realities, harrowing memories, and monstrous revenge. The ingredients — from the surreal, to the grotesque, to the bleakly comical — are sourced from every dark corner of the Nor’east. It’s become one of our favorite traditions, serving up convention-defying, anxiety-ridden concoctions by our boundless regional voices. This season’s medley is brimming with meddlesome demons, vengeful toys, and uncanny conjurers, a jubilee of macabre sights and sounds. Sit for a spell, and brace yourself for nine nightmare-fueled visions ladled from the cauldron of Homegrown Horror.

Aster & Sidney named a 'Must-See Short' at IFFBoston / WBUR

From Aging Athletes To Zombies: 10 Must-See Short Films At IFFBoston This Year

In “Aster and Sidney,” two young women (Charlotte Rea and Adjovi Koene) team up to endure a modern-day apocalypse. With minimal dialogue or musical score, they rifle through an abandoned farmhouse looking for supplies. One stuffs a pregnancy test in her knapsack without the other seeing. Tension builds as the pair encounter a stranger trekking through the same woods. Though it has no zombies, “Aster and Sidney” achieves a naturalistic atmosphere similar to the early episodes of “The Walking Dead” when the characters’ vulnerabilities were more commonplace and relatable, and much more terrifying.
