Cannes is ready to welcome some scream-worthy titles to the Fantastic Pavilion Gala Screenings, which are set to take place over May 12-18 at Cannes’ Marché du Film. 

The section, spotlighting international genre filmmaking, will feature an abundance of “horror, elevated thrillers and dystopian narratives,” promised the organizers. It will open with “El Convento” and close with the psychological horror “House of Atreus.”
