NO SUCH THING AS MONSTERS - Dir. Stu Stanton - 1:25:00 - AUS

A young couple on a camping trip in the Australian bush are taken hostage by a group of siblings with a twisted set of family values. Stu Stanton’s indie horror feature delves into uncomfortable territory in the tradition of The Hills Have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Wrong Turn.

Stu’s influences here are evident, growing up, as many of us have on a dark and disturbing diet of gritty psychological horror and no holds barred depictions of the human monsters that walk amongst us. This latest offering casts an innovative twist on the victimology of this genre of film and takes more than one surprising turn. It is enjoyable at it’s twisted heart and one can forgive the rough edges of independent film endeavour and immerse themselves in this disquieting and sinister journey.

Our closing night feature at MUFF.

THE PRIZEFIGHTER (Documentary) - Dir. Terry McMahon - 45:00 min - IRELAND

MUFF is delighted this year to present the latest cinematic punch from Irish born, agent provocateur, Terry McMahon.

MUFF has previously screened Terry’s other works over the years, proudly supporting his prolific film career. Terry’s latest documentary goes behind the bright lights of the boxing ring to explore the seedy and hard-fought lives of hopeful prize fighters in Ireland, their dreams of fame, fortune and success, too often short lived and paid for with blood, poverty and sacrifice.

The Prizefighter charts the true story of ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan, a former sheet metal worker and rising middleweight star from the famed Celtic Warriors boxing club. Chosen by a world-renowned fight promoter, Spike is given the chance of a lifetime, to fight for the Middleweight championship of the world title, far from home in America. Spike is just three bouts from international stardom or mediocrity. This searing story of a fight against all odds is not to be missed.
