Director: Joe Begos, 2024, USA
A shitstorm of bad news sends out of work filmmaker Jimmy Lang (Joe Begos) spiraling into an out of control bender in which he claims to have been abducted by aliens. Fearing they'll come back, he contacts his old friend Stiggs (Matt Mercer) to help him gear up for war. When the sun sets, the duo are thrown into a hallucinatory explosion of aliens, drugs, booze, and all out carnage. The latest, and craziest, from the director of Christmas Bloody Christmas, VFW, and The Mind's Eye, all past Telluride Horror Show official selections.
