"There's still plenty of mysterious out there." Dark Star Pictures has unveiled the first teaser trailer for an indie sci-fi horror film called Our Effed Up World, the latest creation from young trans filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay (also of T Blockers, Satranic Panic, The Serpent's Skin). This is playing soon at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal this summer, but has no final release date yet. Fantasia's intro is the best for this: "With her latest film, Our Effed Up World, Mackay takes inspiration from the alien-invasion genre. As Sheri grapples with the loss of her grandmother, a mysterious entity crashes in the woods nearby. Soon only Sheri & her friends stand between the survival of the world and an alien hunger that will consume us all. Paying homage to films like Killer Klowns from Outer Space and cutesy girl-power vibes of The Powerpuff Girls, Mackay’s sense of humour is absurd, biting, and fun." Starring Sara Thompson, Annapurna Sriram, Jess McLeod, Scott Major, Brandon Flynn, Jordan Dulieu, Jack Haven, Leela Varghese, Chris Gun, and Tommy Dorfman. A quick first look for fans of this kind of homemade sci-fi flick. Check it out. // Continue Reading ›
