Dying to see Peter Strickland‘s horror film In Fabric, a horror film set during a department store’s winter sale where customers – from a lonely divorcee (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) to the wife (Hayley Squires) of a washing machine repairman – end up cursed by a scarlet dress that corrupts their lives? I am, which is why I’m planning to drive over an hour to catch the film ahead of its December 6th nationwide release.
Art House Convergence, an international organization of independent, community-based, mission-driven movie theaters, has announced the fourth annual Art House Theater Day, which will be taking place on Wednesday, September 18, 2019.
Included in the one-day-only event is A24’s next horrorpiece, In Fabric, which Joe Lipsett raved about out of the TIFF World Premiere last year. Yes, you can see the movie an entire 3 months early!

In the film In Fabric:
“A lonely woman (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), recently separated from her husband, visits a bewitching London department store in search of a dress that will transform her life. She’s fitted with a perfectly flattering, artery-red gown—which, in time, will come to unleash a malevolent curse and unstoppable evil, threatening everyone who comes into its path. From acclaimed horror director Peter Strickland (the singular auteur behind the sumptuous sadomasochistic romance The Duke of Burgundy and auditory gaillo-homage Berberian Sound Studio) comes a truly nightmarish film, at turns frightening, seductive, and darkly humorous. Channeling voyeuristic fantasies of high fashion and bloodshed, In Fabric is Strickland’s most twisted and brilliantly original vision yet.“
