Mask of Sarnath, a finalist for the 1980 Student Academy Awards, is structured as an entry in the horror film genre. The theme of the film, “Evil Never Dies,” dominates the narrative and is backed by a hauntingly eerie soundtrack recorded especially for the film by Throbbing Gristle, a British punk/art/new wave rock group with a following on two continents.

A twenty-minute black-and-white slasher which may seem like a short version of The Mask, except there’s no trace of Jim Carrey combating crime in the streets. Instead, a petty thief named Harry, enchanted by the mask of Sarnath, cuts the throats of innocent victims. Surprisingly, there’s plenty of blood and the atmosphere is decent (especially thanks to the inventive play of light and shadow). All of this is accompanied by vintage electronic music. A hidden treat for horror connoisseurs. [KVIFF 2018]
