My Philly Film Fest

Hmmm… the Philly Film Fest. I missed it last time, but I just might make the drive down for the second weekend of this year’s festival.

If I crash my sister’s place for a few days, I could take in Tokyo Zombie:

Japanese horror-comedy at its most outlandish, this hilarious parody of zombie movies features Tadanobu Asano (with an afro!) battling a very funny invasion of the undead.

Adventures in Animation:

Traveling beyond traditional “cartoon” aesthetics, the films in this collection push the genre to new heights of sophistication. Each animated film is uniquely stylized and pristinely crafted.

Isolation:

Genetically mutated cow fetuses terrorize a small farm – a concept which this Irish horror film treats surprisingly seriously, delivering a genuinely scary old-school monster movie.

From the director of Dog Solders comes The Descent:

Whether it’s the best horror film of the year (as many claim), or simply the scariest, this British chiller about young women fighting monsters in a cave has become an instant genre classic.

And this year’s ode to Bad Taste, Evil Aliens:

This riotous, comic British science-fiction/horror bloodbath about extraterrestrial visitors with a taste for dismemberment, decapitation, alien impregnation and anal probes, has become a recent international film fest favorite.

The only problem? I’m also planning a trip to Cleveland’s Cinema Wasteland the previous week. That’s a lot of gas money.
