Today is the last day to see West Virginia-born Aïda Ruilova’s claustrophobic horror short Goner, which follows a young woman in a white night shirt (Sonja Kinski) as she is terrified by an unseen predator. Quick cuts, a handheld camera, and blood splatters propel this tense psychological thriller, which is projected onto the far wall in the downstairs space at Salon 94 Bowery. We’re not sure why the gallery chose to end this exhibition, which also includes miniature stills from Goner and several of Ruilova’s other films, just a week before Halloween, but it’s still a good way to get your scare on as you prepare for the annual pagan celebration. However, Ruilova’s Prop House, which comments on the props used in horror films, can be seen tomorrow, projected onto the gallery’s outside wall.
