THE FREAKS OF FANCY to Celebrate its World Premiere at Frightfest on Friday, August 23, 2024
Set in 1927, THE FREAKS OF FANCY follows four medical graduates invited to an island mansion by their mentor, Dr. Reed Wakefield, an experimental scientist. Their weekend retreat turns into a nightmare as Wakefield's experiments lead to terrifying consequences.
Directed by Elliott Léon, this film blends psychological and gothic horror with a silent movie aesthetic. Inspired by Guy Maddin, Léon combines absurdist satire, surreal gore, and melodrama with the Charleston, creating a unique piece of expressionist symbolism.
