The 7th annual Arizona Underground Film Festival will screen a smorgasbord of cult flicks, horror movies, comedies and provocative documentaries on September 19-27 at The Screening Room in Tucson, AZ.

Opening Night: The fest kicks off on the 19th with Killers, a dark thriller all the way from Japan and Indonesia about a psychopath and a journalist who forge an unlikely, hellish bond.

Kennedy and Marcus Rosentrater’s wild Limo Ride.

Then, there are horror movies like the Lovecraft-inspired The Call Girl of Cthulu by Chris LaMartina; the slasher flick Crazy Bitches by Jane Clark; and the return of William Hellfire with his Upsidedown Cross.

Also, there are just way out there movies like Mario Kyprianou’s political satire The Republic of Rick; Yann Gonzalez’s sex comedy You and the Night; the revenge thriller The Badger Game by Joshua Wagner, Thomas Zambeck; and loads more.
