This passionate and provocative drama spans four centuries as it tells the tales of two remarkable young women: Amanda, struggling for justice and recognition in the offices of modern-day Atlanta, and the amazing true story of Artemesia Gentileschi, a painter in Renaissance Italy who took her rapist to trial.

A horror comedy about a small group of incompetent devil-worshippers who are preparing for the birth of the Dark Lord when an newcomer arrives, thinking she’s been invited to an old friend’s baby shower. Girl talk and plans for the “Hell Feast” lead to secrets coming out and a struggle for power, with surprising results. Plus, there’s a talking goat … so that’s pretty cool.
