About

Blood Sick Underground Cinema Presents "A Night of Teen-Made SOV Horror" with the (now grown up) kids that made them! Cicada: I Was A Teenage Horror Movie & opening short, The Violence Movie!

CICADA: I WAS A TEENAGE HORROR MOVIE
In 1997, teens filmed a VHS horror epic. Nearly 30 years later, they edited it—as a comedy.Soak in the gloriously glitchy splendor of this horror-comedy that is at once a bloody twist on vampire lore and an endearing portrait of filmmakers coming of "rage" as they struggle to make an ambitious home movie—playing multiple roles, spilling fake blood, and testing testicular limits with a homemade zip-line. The ultimate accidental B-movie, it's an endearing romp that's so fun at a late-night sleepover with your weirdest friends.
-with director Keil Troisi and cast.

THE VIOLENCE MOVIE
When a deranged killer escapes from prison, he inexplicably invades the home of Joey Hammond who must fight for his life in order to stay alive. Shot on VHS back in 1988 (with additional footage added in 2003). The short was passed around on bootleg VHS tapes for years before the term 'viral' ever existed. Now, over 30 years later, this homage to slasher movies has been re-mastered, re-edited and re-scored (from none other than the legendary Friday the 13th composer Harry Manfredini) for all to enjoy!
-with director Eric D. Wilkenson

Blood Sick Underground Cinema is a monthly screening series focusing on DIY, outsider films made outside the Hollywood and studio system, with a different guest filmmaker every 2nd Monday of the month.
