Canada to get a big dose of genre films courtesy of Sinister Cinema

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Starting at the end of the month, Cineplex Entertainment’s Front Row Centre Events and Raven Banner will launch Sinister Cinema, a cutting-edge series of art house quality genre cinema in Canada. You lucky Canucks!

Sinister Cinema will bring a series of independent horror films to 25 Cineplex theatres across Canada. The films will include unique content, and in some cases, special appearances, including live question and answer sessions with directors, pre-recorded interviews and more.

Things kick off on March 27th with Don Coscarelli’s JOHN DIES AT THE END. On May 9th comes THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ROSALIND LEIGH (from Rue Morgue’s Rodrigo Gudino). May 30th brings the Soska Sisters’ AMERICAN MARY. Then on June 19th, you’ll get to experience WWE’s NO ONE LIVES, starring Luke Evans (pictured above).

“It’s a real honour for us to work with Cineplex,” said Raven Banner’s Managing Partner, Michael Paszt. “Sinister Cinema will expose Canadians to a different type of horror film – one that falls outside the typical realm of larger distributors.”

“Today’s announcement is a big win for Canadian horror fans,” said Pat Marshall, Vice President, Communications and Investor Relations, Cineplex Entertainment. “We know fans of this genre are going to be incredibly excited about this new series.”
