‘The Transfiguration’ serves up chills at DIFF365@VOX

Horror movie fans, it’s time to grab some popcorn and tune into Michael O’Shea’s chilling debut feature, The Transfiguration, which comes to DIFF365@VOX next week.

The thriller was initially screened in the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival, and was described as a ‘gripping’ and a ‘disturbing horror movie’ by critics, comparing it to the sleeper hit Get Out, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this year.

Set in New York City, Eric Ruffin plays a troubled teen who is fascinated by vampire lore; but things come to a head when he starts blurring fantasy with reality. The Transfiguration also stars Chloe Levine.

The film will screen at cinema 9 (a dedicated theatre for the initiative), Mall of the Emirates from August 24 until September 6. Tickets are available on the Vox Cinemas website.

DIFF 365@VOX is a year-round Dubai International Film Festival initiative.
