Mirror Mirror

Synopsis:


A League of Their Own Presents: Mirror Mirror (1990)

Before THE CRAFT, there was MIRROR MIRROR. Co-written by sisters Annette and Gina Cascone and directed by Marina Sargenti, the film follows high school goth Megan (Rainbow Harvest, a dead ringer for Winona Ryder’s Lydia Deetz character in BEETLEJUICE) as she deals with typical teenage stuff: crushes, bullies, and a haunted mirror that grants her supernatural powers. 

MIRROR MIRROR combines YA vibes straight out of a Christopher Pike novel with plenty of R-rated thrills. But the film’s most notable—and enjoyable—aspect is its nuanced portrayal of relationships between women, which was rare for the horror genre in 1990.

Genre: Horror, Thriller

Director: Marina Sargenti
Stars: Karen Black, Yvonne De Carlo, William Sanderson                           
Running time: 1 hr 44 min

Kwaidan: 4K Remaster

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Kwaidan: 4K Remaster (1964)

After more than a decade of sober political dramas and socially minded period pieces, the great Japanese director Masaki Kobayashi shifted gears dramatically for this rapturously stylized quartet of ghost stories. Featuring colorfully surreal sets and luminous cinematography, these haunting tales of demonic comeuppance and spiritual trials, adapted from writer Lafcadio Hearn’s collections of Japanese folklore, are existentially frightening and meticulously crafted.


Please note: the DCP version of Kwaidan is a 4K restoration of the original three-hour cut. The 35mm of Kwaidan is the 161-minute Cannes print.

When a man returns from a trip unwittingly harboring a new breed of arachnid, the people in an apartment block are quarantined and left to fend for themselves against a plague of venomous spiders.

Trapped inside by a police-mandated quarantine, building manager Serena (Lutz) and her residents battle to survive as the creatures multiply by the second. Armed with her intimate knowledge of the complex, Serena may be the only one who can keep them alive—if she can confront her deepest fear.

Ugly Cry

Synopsis:

The Calgary Underground Film Festival Presents: Ugly Cry (2026)


An actor loses their dream role because of their "ugly cry" — causing them to spiral down the dark and dangerous path to perfection.

When Delaney's (writer-director Emily Robinson) boyfriend leaves town to shoot a splashy zombie movie, she becomes obsessed with a character she's auditioning for after she learns the producers think she has an "ugly cry." But when she tries to make her cry prettier, her performance suffers. Can she contort herself, and her face, to have the perfect cry?

Her attempts to change herself cause Young Delaney to haunt her, catapulting present-day Delaney deeper down the rabbit hole. She isolates herself and grows increasingly delusional, and interested in physical fixes to her acting problem. How can she make the world see her as she sees herself? How can she become and become and become? She will become famous. Or die trying.
