Actually this is for geeks anywhere
in the Ohio and surrounding area (which I myself am included in). Keep the
weekend of April 14th-15th open because the 24th Annual Ohio Science Fiction
Film Festival will be taking place, and it’s looking like it’s going to be a
blast!
The festival has not only lined up
some classic and rare goodies for all to see, but will have a couple of more
recent “classics in the making”, including a couple of horror genre greats.
Headlining at this festival will be
FIDO, the movie that shows an alternate reality where a zombie plague has
broken out and they have been harvested for both pets and manual labor.
Also
seen will be the indy sci-fi flick PUZZLEHEAD. Directed and written James
Bai, PUZZLEHEAD takes place in the near future, where technology has been
outlawed. A reclusive scientist creates a robot in his own image and names him
Puzzlehead, who becomes his connection to the outside world.
Japanese film guru Takashi Miike’s
THE GREAT YOKAI WAR, will be playing. The story follows an evil mistress
who is turning the good Yokai into evil bio-mechanical robots to threaten
humanity. (Seeing this flick on the big screen alone is worth the trip!)
Finally
the film AUTOMATONS, starring Angus Scrimm (Tall man biatches!), will be
shown. In AUTOMATONS it is a distant future and The Girl is alone, the
last of her people, all others having died in a generations-long war. She
continues the fight from her underground bunker with the aid of her
Robby-the-robot style mechanical army.
Along with these flicks, plenty of
old horror and sci-fi favorites will be played, including James Gunn’s
SLITHER and Terry Gilliam’s 12 MONKEY’S.
The festival actually does look like
it’ll be a ton of fun to go to, and I will definitely be heading there. So to
