The fifth annual Horrible Imaginings Film Festival is descending upon North Park’s intimate Digital Gym Cinema again this year, continuing its position as San Diego’s closest look at the dark side of cinema. The film festival will include over 40 feature and short films showcasing the best talent from around the world, informative presentations from UCSD professors, revivals of classic and influential films in the horror genre, as well as question and answer sessions from filmmakers themselves. The regular “San Diego Local Spotlight” remains a prominent feature, highlighting work done from filmmakers in and around the San Diego area.
Notable feature films include “Dead Snow: Red Vs. Dead” the sequel to Tommy Wirkola’s popular Icelandic zombie film “Dead Snow,” “Another World,” a post-apocalyptic zombie film billed as the first action sci-fi film from Israel, “Soulmate,” a beautiful and haunting ghost story produced by Neil Marshall (The Descent, Dog Soldiers) and directed by Axelle Carolyn, “Call Girl of Cthulhu,” a tongue-in-cheek play on HP Lovecraft’s popular Cthulhu Mythos, and “Hi-8: Horror Independent,” an anthology ode to straight-to-video horrors of yore featuring San Diego filmmakers.
