Neil Breen is a lesser-known director who deserves the title of King of so-bad-they're-good movies, with his surreal and self-funded films. Breen's films, such as "Double Down," "I Am Here....Now," and "Fateful Findings," are a stroke of Breen-ius in storytelling, VFX, acting, and editing, making Wiseau's "The Room" seem high-budget in comparison. Breen has gained a cult following, with his films being screened in film courses and colleges, and his unconventional methods of purchasing DVDs and his extensive list of drinking game rules add to his bizarre reputation.

A perfect so-bad-it's-good movie is something of an art form in itself.

Horror Is Child’S Play – Don Mancini’S Curse Of Chucky (World Premiere)

A rarity among genre franchises, the Child’S Play series (begun in 1988) has retained the sure-handed guidance of original screenwriter/creator Don Mancini throughout killer doll Chucky’s decades’-long reign of horror. Mancini, who will be hosting our “scar-studded” world premiere, graduated to the director’s chair with 2004’s Seed Of Chucky, after having co-written or written every entry in the series.
