MIFF - Jack's Wife (1973)
From the moment they first shuffled across the grainy screen of Night of the Living Dead, zombies became synonymous with George Romero.

Description:
Sure, you've planned for the zombie apocalypse. You know the closest big box retailer that stocks garden supplies and canned food, you have memorised the route to the riot police armoury (reinforced suits, semi-automatics, etc). During MIFF, however, you will have access to the brains trust of a man who knows the undead better than they know braaaains.

MIFF Trash Horror
Film festivals occasionally throw a few obscure horror gems into their programs to up their cool quotient, but MIFF takes it a step further this year by gleefully embracing the long, trashy and often bizarre history that spawned the contemporary genre.
1968's Spider Baby is one of the most hilarious and fundamentally doomed cult film productions of all time, thus a hands-down festival highlight.
