Another Hole in the Head

~ Lincoln Spector

The Bay Area has film festivals that cater to Jews, Asians, gays, Arabs, and people who like to watch brains explode all over shocked bystanders. We serve all kinds of minorities.

Another Hole In the Head Film Festival allegedly acquired that name because the Bay Area needs another film festival like it needs a…you know the cliché. But the name is appropriate for another reason. This festival concentrates on fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Especially horror. Some of the more intriguing titles–and I’m writing this without even looking at the movie descriptions–include Helldriver, The Victim, The Craving,  Zombie Undead,  Rat Scratch Fever, The Bleeding House, and Auschwitz.

That last one, I see, is directed by Uwe Boll, considered by many to be the worst film director living (I didn’t know this when I reviewed his Postal a few years back). Weirdly, according to the festival’s description, it’s a combination of serious documentary and straight drama.

I’ll let you check out the other ones yourself.

The festival takes over the Roxie June 2nd through the 16th
