The Exorcist and Tiger Stripes for midnight screenings at IFFK this year

Two films will be screened this year as part of the midnight screenings category, one of the highlights of the annual International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK).

William Friedkin’s horror classic The Exorcist and Malaysian director Amanda Nell Eu’s Tiger Stripes are the films to be screened as part of the category this year.

The Exorcist, based on Friedkin’s own novel, tells the story of a young girl who is possessed by a mysterious entity. The movie is being screened as a tribute to Friedkin, who passed away earlier this year. Tiger Stripes is about a 11-year old girl who is carefree until she starts to experience horrifying physical changes to her body. This film also had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and was selected as the Malaysian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards.
