The 53rd edition of the International Film Festival of India will be held between November 20 and November 28 this year. According to renowned filmmaker John Carpenter, who has struck fear in the hearts of moviegoers with films like Village of the Damned, Christine, and The Fog has rightly said, “Horror is a universal language." With this thought in mind, the focal point of this year’s film festival is Macabre Dreams which will be housing a quartet of newly-released horror movies that are likely to leave a lasting impression among audiences.
According to a press release by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the four films included in the spooky-fest are as follows:
