Denis Harvey, Film Critic, VARIETY Celluloid Horror is riddled with enough deliriously satisfying fan-boy moments to leave horror fanatics and festival fans salivating. - Stuart Andrews, RUE MORGUERunning a horror festival is not for the faint of heart.Kier-La Janisse single-handedly created and executed CineMuerte, Canada's first International Horror Film Festival, from the dark depths of the die-hard underground into a full on cinematic city experience. The festival managed to rise from the dead again, again, corrupting the minds and assaulting the senses of literally 1000's of unsuspecting audience members for a solid seven years; solely supported on her descent, but slight salary at Black Dog, the neighborhood alternative video store. Beauty is defiantly in the eye of the beholder and becomes an absolute asset to keep this impious baby alive. From Kier-La's battles with the British Columbia Censor board to the monster sized tenacity required to bring all these pieces together, all the while conquering her own personal demons, proves tireless.Kier-La's tumultuous past provides her with a unique ability to recognize the significance of these narratives amidst the extremity of horror, successfully broadening the definition of the genre and therefore its audience. Featuring dynamic appearances by Udo Kier (Flesh for Frankenstein), Jeff Lieberman (Squirm), Buddy Giovinazzo (Combat Shock), and delving into the likes of Jean Rollin (Requiem for a Vampire) and Jorg Buttgereit (Nekromantic).
