New York City horror fans will have an opportunity to see Larry Fessenden new film, Depraved, in advance of its release on Friday, September 13th. It’s part of a Planet Midnight, a new “Sneak Screening” series being launched by IFC Midnight and Forbidden Planet. Here’s the full scoop from this morning’s press release:
IFC Midnight and Forbidden Planet announced today that they will launch their new sneak screening series and genre film night at IFC Center called Planet Midnight. They will kick it off with NYC horror legend Larry Fessenden and his new film Depraved, in advance of its release on Friday, September 13th. On a monthly basis, they will program a mixture of undistributed films, new titles from IFC Midnight and films from other distributors. Planet Midnight is dedicated to championing defiantly independent genre films, and collaborating with partners who share that passion. Upcoming films to expect in the 2019 line-up will include Dawn Lubbe and Jocelyn DeBoer’s Greener Grass, Jennifer Reeder’s Knives and Skin, and Miguel Llansó’s Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway.
Planet Midnight is a destination for the genre community in NYC. As smaller community spaces, video stores, record stores, and comic book shops are dwindling, institutions like the IFC Center and Forbidden Planet continue to plant deep roots in the community and nurture counter-cultural engagement in the city on a personal level.
Planet Midnight screenings are free-of-charge for IFC Midnight newsletter subscribers and includes giveaways, special guest appearances, and complimentary popcorn. To receive updates and RSVP to upcoming screenings, please follow this link.

A disillusioned field surgeon suffering from PTSD makes a man out of body parts and brings him to life in a Brooklyn loft.
