Frothing with venom and she-deviltry, it’s every bit as cathartic as it sounds. Because what could be a better mental antidote to the hellmouth that is 2025 than bingeing feminist horror lit? Read it while it’s hot.

We’re gathering live with award-winning director Agnieszka Smoczyńska for the 10-year anniversary screening of her film, The Lure. After making a splash at Sundance and Fantasia, this carnivorous crooning mermaid tale now haunts The Criterion Collection, and we’re proud to screen it this fall in collaboration with The Future of Film is Female. (Be sure to stay after to ask Agnieszka all your burning questions in person.)
Our special paid subscribers whom we love very, very much get exclusive access to our filmed interview with Agnieszka. Seriously, you have to watch it. It's so fucking cute, we love her.
When: Tuesday, October 7, 7:30 PM, ET
Location: Dixon Place | Cost: $12
