Aurora Gorealis: Blood Quantum

Sat, Oct 30 / 7pm
Directed by Jeff Barnaby
2019, Canada, 98 min

The dead are coming back to life outside. But in the isolated Mi’gmaq reserve of Red Crow, the indigenous inhabitants are immune to the zombie plague. Traylor, the tribal sheriff, must protect his son’s pregnant girlfriend, apocalyptic refugees and reserve riffraff from the hordes of walking white corpses.

Plays with:

Tonight We Get Even / Directed by Cody Blacksmith, 2019, Canada, 4:19 min / A young indigenous artist is haunted by a recent traumatic event.


Aurora Gorealis returns for one-night only this Halloween! Join us on Saturday, October 30 for a Canadian horror marathon featuring creepy phone calls, botched science experiments, zombie plagues and evil kids. This series pairs classic Canuxploitation offerings with Canadian shorts in a hair-raising sampling of northern frights.

Reviews

Blood Quantum seamlessly balances two very different things; it's proudly and unambiguously political, while simultaneously being just a banger of genre film.
- Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, The Blue Lenses
Barnaby's film rejects the default white gaze of so many horror films, choosing to tell a story through an unapologetically Indigenous lens.
- Matthew Monagle, Austin Chronicle
