Director's description: VEXED is a queer supernatural comedy short film written and directed by Mexican-American filmmaker Cassandra Quintela. This film is her thesis capstone project.

Followed by: JENNIFER'S BODY
A newly-possessed high-school cheerleader turns into a succubus who specializes in killing her male classmates. Can her best friend put an end to the horror?

A sprinkle of witchcraft, a dash of queer yearning, and a kiss that changes everything. Sealed With a Kiss kicks off Feminist Horror Week with Cassandra Quintela’s queer supernatural comedy short Vexed. When a mysterious new girl joins their circle and asks them to seal a spell with a kiss, their night takes a monstrous turn. Paired with Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body, the evening moves from yearning to demonic possession, and back to yearning again, exploring the messy bonds between desire, friendship, exploitation, and the body. Written by Diablo Cody, Jennifer’s Body turns the horror genre back on the systems that objectify young women, asking what happens when the girls who are supposed to be victims become something else entirely. Join Alexis Hunter and Faiza Kracheni as the INVASIVE SPECIES 2 invasion creeps into film with an opening night of feminist horror filled with crushes, dark magic, and carnage.
