Women-Directed flicks at Shriekfest: 'Hurt', 'Sutures', 'Death In Charge', 'Lock(ed) In', and 'Fantasy'

The 2009 Shriekfest Film Festival in Los Angeles, California, will premiere two feature horror films we're very excited about. Sutures, directed by Tammi Sutton, and Hurt, directed by Barbara Stepansky, will make their West Coast festival debuts at Shriekfest this year.

Also screening are the short horror films Death In Charge (directed by Devi Snively,) Fantasy (directed by Montreal's Izabel Grondin,) and Locke(ed) In (directed by high school teacher Lea McMahan, starring her students.) Check out the trailers below...
