In Fabric

Sheila has resumed dating and needs a new outfit. She hits the January sales at a prestigious department store (with the most sinister sales staff ever) and buys a beautiful red dress. In the lining is sewn the motto, “You who will wear me will know me.” Very soon the fabric of reality will be ripped open and the forces of evil will enter. IN FABRIC is a retro love song to the wonderful drive-in horror double-features of decades past. Using nostalgically over-the-top cinematic flourishes, nerve-tweaking electronic music, and old-school shock, this tale of a haunted dress and the horrors it brings to its wearers is fitted with a very twisted and darkly humored script. It skewers consumer and corporate culture with needle-sharp wit while delivering genuine chills. Weaving these elements together smartly, IN FABRIC is carefully tailored to hem the viewer in with laughter and fear. It proves that some things, like satanic salespeople, bloody terror, and demonic possession, never go out of style. —C.R.
