Director Brandon Christensen, actors Jessica Clement, Keegan Connor Tracy, Ben Cockell, Matty Finochio, and producer Mike Peterson will be in attendance at the September 18 screening.

Having just come off its opening night world premiere at the Popcorn Frights Film Festival, we're looking forward to a hometown screening of Calgary director Brandon Christensen's (Z, CIFF 2019; THE PUPPETMAN, CIFF 2023) latest horror film, NIGHT OF THE REAPER, a fun throwback to classic slasher films.

In the wake of the brutal murder of a teenage babysitter, college student Deena (Jessica Clement, NIGHT BLOOMS, CIFF 2021) returns home for the weekend and is roped into a babysitting gig of her own. When the local sheriff is mailed a piece of evidence that proves the murder may not have been an isolated incident, he is led on a scavenger hunt to reveal the killer may be planning a sequel.
