Fantasy Filmfest Nights 2015

So as not to wait a full year for another edition of the Fantasy Filmfest in Germany (in September), the organizers have planned those so-called Fantasy Filmfest Nights which take place half a year after the main festival, actually last for two days and introduce 10 movies.
This year's edition in Munich will take place on March 28-29, and here are my recommendations on what to watch, more based on what I know from the directors and read about the movies than on the trailers.

The main webpage of the festival is this one:

And the catalog here:

I will buy my tickets in advance (pre-sales start on March 20th) for the movies labelled GO, will not go to the ones labelled NO, and for the ones labelled MAYBE I will decide at the last minute depending on the weather and other factors.

Saturday 28. March

• 14:00 The Guest. By Adam Wingard who directed You're Next and segments of the Horror Anthologies VHS, VHS 2 and The ABCs of Death. This promises to be a nice little thriller and I have read some good things about it. GO
  
• 16:00 Cub a.k.a. Welp. This Belgian Horror/Slasher/Gore movie got a good reputation at the festivals where it was shown. GO
• 18:15 Autómata. A modest Spanish robot movie with Antonio Banderas. GO
• 20:15 A Girls Walk Home Alone at Night. A Black&White vampire movie which, from what I read, is trying too hard to look good and arty, but in the end is not very good. NO
• 22:30 The Lazarus Effect. Apparently a honest Horror B-movie, reminding of Flatliners (L'Experience Interdite in French) with Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland. GO

Sunday 29. March

• 13:00 Marshland a.k.a. La isla mínima. Hard to find information about this Spanish criminal investigation taking place in the 80's but the story, looks and first critics I can read about it makes me want to watch it. GO
• 15:00 German Angst. An anthology movie in three sections supposed to represent a revival of the German Expressionist style. I like this kind of idea and how it was applied by Phil Mucci for the video The Devil's Orchard of the band Opeth. The three young directors are Jörg Buttgereit (Nekromantik 1&2), Michal Kosakowski (the documentary Zero Killed that I am interested to see) and Andreas Marschall (Tears of Kali, Masks). The trailer is a bit overdone, so I fear the movie will be the same. MAYBE
• 17:30 Spring. After the death of his mother a man travels to Italy and falls in love with a mysterious woman. Some Lovecraftian horror in this movie that won the best award at the last Paris International Fantastic Film Festival. GO
• 20:00 Wyrmwood: Road of the dead. An Australian cross-over between Mad Max and Dawn of the Dead. I fear that it will look too cheap and disappoint me like The 25th Reich did. But the trailer looks nice. MAYBE
• 22:00 Tusk. The long-awaited new movie by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Red State) and its weird story of a man hiring another one to dress like a walrus two hours per day seems to be a Mad movie. Definitely GO

A good selection this year, although most of the movies have been running the festivals for several months now, or have even already been released in theaters in USA.
