Have no fear horror fans! Or perhaps I should say prepare to be afraid, very afraid! At Spring Showcase 2012 we do truly have films for everyone, and that includes the late night fright fanatic. And any HIFF fest would not be complete with out a great J-Horror to whet your appetites. So this Spring HIFF is bringing TORMENTED 3D from Japan! One of the wildest, most bizarre, and truly terrifying films to come out of Japan since JU-ON: THE GRUDGE (2002). And to complement this eastern fare, HIFF is also presenting homegrown fright fest V/H/S, a film that took Sundance by storm this past January!
