A retired university lecturer’s investigation into the mysterious death of an old friend leads to time loss, amnesia, chilling conspiracies and cover-ups, and cataclysmic cosmic horrors. A wild tale of desert religious cults, lost subterranean civilisations, mind control, pan-dimensional entities, and an entirely alien computer operating system that acts as a virus on our own software and records and plays back our darkest dreams, memories, and imaginings.
Grimmfest Says: Dan Asma’s terrifying, mind blowing found footage nightmare is packed with high-concept ideas and wild leaps of imagination, with nods to Philip K. Dick and the cosmic horrors of H.P. Lovecraft.
A twisty, disorientating and brilliant spin on the “found footage” subgenre, that deftly mixes tropes and styles to find a new way to present cosmic horror in a chillingly naturalistic fashion.
Packed with high-concept ideas and wild leaps of imagination, with nods to the paranoid 60s and 70s counter-culture sci-fi of Philip K. Dick and Robert Anton Wilson, the utterly crazy pulp fantasies of bizarro cult author Richard Shaver, and, of course, the cosmic horrors and psychological meltdowns of H.P. Lovecraft.
This is gripping, engrossing and creepy as hell.
The feature will be preceded by the short film MISSING PARTS
In an ancient civilisation based on ritual human sacrifice, a brave warrior challenges the status quo, and discovers that the Old Gods are real – but not quite what they seem…
Grimmfest Says: What if those “Chariots of The Gods” had brought the Elder Gods to Earth? The wilder theories of Erich Von Daniken collide with Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror and classic computer gaming style animation in Tamás Rolfesz’s psychedelic sword and sorcery science fiction mini-epic.
Followed by a Q&A with director and actress.
