Presented in a surreal, gory and entirely visual manner, Begotten tells of the death of religion, the abuse of nature by Man and a nihilistic outlook on what life ultimately is.
From the Catalonian International Film Festival award winning, and Cannes Film Festival nominated director of Shadow of the Vampire!

“one of horror’s most peculiar and otherworldly gems…Begotten may be one of horror cinema’s greatest examples of the mythical movie – one which has earned its reputation as an endlessly provocative and mystifying experience” (Fangoria)

“haunted my dreams for several nights afterward, prompting me to sleep with my lights on…holds power as a bizarre and mystifying piece of art that haunts viewers to this day.” (The Movie Sleuth)

“Brilliant experimental feature, truly shocking and original.” (Wired)

“Begotten is just so unique, it demands to be seen by any horror fanatic at least once, if you dare.” (Films Fatale)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!

Begotten is the creation myth brought to life, the story of no less than the violent death of God and the (re)birth of nature on a barren earth.
