Plunge into a putrid abyss of gore-garnished gruesomeness and slime-soaked sin as the sinister Doctor Gore turns soft flesh into hideous mutant skin in a venomous vortex of violence and vileness.

What happens when the guy from head office discovers that there are only 6 torturers? They quickly discover that even torturers have a chain of command.

The film follows a woman as she attempts to comfort her terminally ill son, while negotiating an uneasy truce with her estranged father.

THE STAIRS tells the story of Marty, Greg and Roxanne, each of whom survived decades of street-involvement in Toronto's Regent Park. Using their experiences to ease the paths of others, each works in public health in their old neighbourhood while struggling to maintain their newly-found stability. Told over five years, The Stairs defies stereotypes about drug use, sex work and homelessness through an intimate portrait that is by turns funny, surprising and moving.

This is an underdog love story. Diana and Ted's journey provides a cinematic immersion into the magic (and misfortunes) of Canada's hottest theatre. Shot over a four-year span with unprecedented access, we intimately go behind the scenes of their stylish, celebrated shows, from first designs to closing night. But at The Coal Mine, the biggest drama happens offstage. Hours before opening their largest, riskiest show, they face eviction and even death threats. Running the theatre is Diana and Ted's dream, but at what cost? Coal Mine's existence–and their relationship–hangs in the balance.
