EXCERPT:The Stranger with My Face Horror Film Festival was a successful introduction to female horror that is far from soft. It carefully explored the genre and with it created a platform from which to see films that aren’t programmed in multiplexes. Judging by the size of the enthusiastic crowd, this event fills a gap that has been largely ignored by other film festivals. Next year it is bound to be bigger and with the Tasmanian sense of community, hospitality, dedication, great food and wine and MONA just a ferry ride away, Stranger with My Face is one to attend.
