Porn Horror Musical 2 (Finland, Glitcher)

Language: English (surtitles in Latvian)
Age recommendation: 18+

A storm is brewing and the mountains loom dark over a little cabin in the woods. Daddy and his stepdaughter Riley have a cozy weekend to look forward to all to themselves, no Mommy to disturb them. They do what they do best: fuck. But they’re suddenly interrupted by a loud knock on the door. Who can it be? In this weather and at this late hour? Their world is turned upside down when another Daddy and stepdaughter duo enters the little cabin. Who are they and what do they want? More sexy fun? Or will everything change forever? The night is getting dark, will they make it out of the fuck-cabin alive?

About Glitcher:

Glitcher is a performance collective that has been active since 2019. Today it consists of artists Emelie Zilliacus, Joel Forsbacka, Josefine Fri, Martin Paul, Oscar Fagerudd and Emmy-Lee Nykvist. Glitcher is inspired by exploiting genres, diving deep into pop cultural narratives and examining contemporary societal constructs through comedy and the grotesque. Though Glitcher often portrays the darkest corners of human behaviour, they always strive to have working processes filled with joy and to stay playful with the material. By diluting and exploiting western pop culture they hope to unveil the latent problematics that lie hidden underneath, making them more concrete and less distant. Glitcher is a genre machine, a violent dance on the last ruin of humanity, an homage to longing for the forbidden and a great fucking party! Join them in celebrating the macabre, the gory, the bizarre and the beautiful.
