DNFF: Solvent

The Story

While searching for Nazi documents in an Austrian farmhouse, a team of experts uncovers an evil secret buried in its bowels, leading to the team leader’s obsessive commitment to exposing the truth before his sanity unravels.

Sinking into the haunting shadows of history, where past sins resurface in surreal and grotesque ways, Grenzfurthner’s wholly original faux-doco confronts true horror in a perversely entertaining way. You’ve never seen an esoteric mystery so paranoid and twisted, or the found footage format so furious and inventive. You’ve never seen a film like SOLVENT, period! Brilliantly (de)constructed, this breathes fetid new life into the body horror sub-genre. You will be infected.
