From award-winning Canadian director Sean Cisterna.
Silver Screamers is a heartwarming and spine-tingling documentary that follows a spirited group of senior citizens who set out to make a horror film, stepping far outside their comfort zones. Led by a local filmmaker, they navigate the challenges of low-budget moviemaking with humour, heart, and resilience. Along the way, they discover newfound confidence, forge meaningful friendships, and prove that creativity knows no age. Silver Screamers is a joyful celebration of second acts and fearless reinvention.
Silver Screamers is an adaptation of horror writer Edo van Belkom's short story The Rug, featured in his award winning anthology Death Drives a Semi.
