Encompassing grindhouse exploitation cinema, genre-defying marvels and a compulsory dose of weirdness from Japan, Night Shift brings you an unconventional cohort of films to satisfy your cult cravings. Not for the faint of heart.

	HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN (R18+) (Canada/USA, 86 min) "You and me are goin' on a car-ride to hell... and you're riding shotgun!"

	KILL LIST (UK, 90 min) Ben Wheatley follows up his deft debut Down Terrace (MIFF 2010) with a cross-genre gem that starts as a sedate suburban drama before driving off the rails completely. Jay is having a tough time - his marriage is on the verge of breakdown, and he hasn't worked for months. So when his old friend Gal suggests they both return to their old profession of hired killers, Jay readily agrees. But as they start to work down their list of targets, signs begin to point to a deeper conspiracy. More >
	SUPER (USA, 96 min) The Crimson Bolt is here to fight crime, the only way he knows how - with a pipe wrench. After Frank's wife (Liv Tyler) is lured into drug addiction by her sleazy ex-boyfriend (Kevin Bacon), Frank (Rainn Wilson) decides enough is enough. With the aid of a helpful - if somewhat sadistic - comic store clerk named Libby (Ellen Page), Frank becomes the Crimson Bolt, embarking on a wrench-wielding, spectacularly violent quest to save his wife.

	TROLL HUNTER (Norway, 103 min) "Embellishes the candid, caught-on-video format to thrilling effect." - Variety Forget Sasquatch or Area 51, for years the Norweigan government has been involved in the biggest cover-up the world has ever known - or rather, not known.

	THE WOMAN (USA, 108 min) "Bizarre, crazy, offensive and incredibly well made!" - Ain't It Cool News Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers, Deadwood) is a small town court officer living a quiet, seemingly normal life in the heart of Maine with his beloved family. That is, until Chris discovers a feral woman roaming the woods and makes it the family's project to civilise her.
