The Seattle International Film Festival, the largest and most highly attended film festival in the United States, announced today the complete lineup of films, guests, and events for the 45th annual 25-day Festival that runs May 16 – June 9, 2019.

This year, SIFF will screen 410 films representing 86 countries and will include: 147 features (plus 4 secret films), 71 documentaries, 12 archival films, and 176 shorts. The lineup includes 33 World premieres (12 features, 21 shorts), 42 North American premieres (27 features, 15 shorts), and 19 US premieres (11 features, 8 shorts).

I’ll be attending as many genre/horror movies as I can for you guys. Here are my top picks for movies to see this festival circuit! Are there any that you plan on seeing? I would love to know what movies people are excited for this year!

Deadtectives

In this horror comedy, Chris Geere (“You’re the Worst”) leads a cocky team of reality TV paranormal investigators who take on a Mexico City haunted house for a chance to boost their ratings, only to encounter ghosts they can’t bust.
