Scary Movies XI
August 17 - 23, 2018
A trio of perspective-shifting stories intersect into a maelstrom of murder, adolescent angst, sex, drugs, and black magic during the course of one summer weekend. This indie film has punk-rock energy to spare and a distinct cinematic vision that transcends its micro budget.
Q&A with director Brad Elmore, actors Domnique Booth and Alix von Renner, and producer/designer Joshua Petersen
Tony (James Paxton) is a punk who dreams of escaping his small town but finds his release in drugs—until a friend gives him a new kind of pill called Wendigo and can’t remember what he did the night before. Meanwhile, Danielle (Dominique Booth), who likes Tony, spends her night taking care of her drugged-out friends at a punk club and getting tied up with the town dealer, Matt (Greg Hill), who is trading in something much darker and more sinister than pills. And three kids from Danielle’s neighborhood have a run in with a bat-wielding, black Cadillac–driving, masked killer. This trio of perspective-shifting stories intersect into a maelstrom of murder, adolescent angst, sex, drugs, and black magic. Set during the course of one summer weekend, this indie film has punk-rock energy to spare and a distinct cinematic vision that transcends its micro budget. New York Premiere
