One Showing Only of 5150 Elm's Way at the NFF

5150 Elm's Way is a French language film that was shot in Saint-Hubert, Quebec and now the film is travelling to the sunnier shores of Newport, California. 5150 Elm's Way is a definitive horror film, as the innocent are tortured, dozens of captives are kept in a dank basement, and one man takes insanity, or religious fervor to ecstatic levels. This film will have one showing. Beginning at 2:30pm on Friday April 23, 5150 Elm's Way will be displayed and this film will likely be the shocker of the festival. Canadian filmmakers will show off their penchant for horror cinema and your attendance, or thoughts on the film would be welcomed. A trailer and further details are below.

The plot line for 5150 Elm's Way aka 5150, Rue Des Ormes:

"At the end of a quiet street in a small town is 5150 Elms Way. Yannick knocks on the door of a house after falling off his bike, so he can clean blood off his hands. Here Jack Beaulieu and his family have other plans for him. Before he knows it, Yannick finds himself trapped with a righteous psychopath and fanatic chess player who wants to rid the world of evil. Tortured and tormented, Yannick fights to find a way out, only to discover the depth of Beaulieu's maniacal mind. Now that Yannick is a part of Beaulieu's game, only one question remains.
