AS PALE AS DEATH

The year is 1997. Fresca, Maxim Magazine and Hawaiian Tropic Tanning Oil flow like wine, and the Kukecs are getting ready for a family vacation to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. But Ryan, their 10-year-old son, is pale as heck and needs a base tan.

THE FACE

COCOON

A family's lives are disrupted when an unstable stranger, Viktor, invades their home, holding them hostage within their own house. Viktor torments the family by forcing them to role play as his own family, twisting the dynamics to fit the image of his own picturesque family life.
