Varsity 5 - Fri 9:30 PM (4/8) Varsity 5 - Sat 9:30 PM (4/9) Varsity 5 - Sun 9:30 PM (4/10) Varsity 5 - Mon 9:30 PM (4/11) A young woman, her face illuminated only by match light, tells the story of an Austrian serial killer who murdered 20 immigrant women — one per year.
Director’s Statement: Mark Tapio Kines
20 Matches was sort of an exercise in “minimalist horror.” I wanted to see if I could make a compelling, disturbing film without any blood or on-screen violence, and with just one actor and one source of light: a single wooden match. More than just a creepy campfire story, though, 20 Matches also touches on how the West deals with immigrants, and how we survive the dark legacies left by others.
