Sea of Dust (90min - USA) Trailer Buy Tix
Date: 10/29 3pm
Dir: Scott Bunt
Cat: Gothic Feature
Less a horror movie than a psychedelic fairytale, the multi-award winning SEA OF DUST has the look of a Hammer film on acid. The story of a nineteenth century medical student battling other-worldly forces jumps backwards and forwards in time and through multiple levels of reality, creating a film that is “at once a black slapstick comedy, a twisted horror tale, a stylish period piece and a biting religious satire” (Fangoria).
Starring genre icons Tom Savini (FROM DUSK TIL DAWN, GRINDHOUSE), Ingrid Pitt (THE VAMPIRE LOVERS) and Stuart ‘Multiple Miggs’ Rudin (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS), SEA OF DUST’s satire of post-9/11 America is truly unlike anything in contemporary cinema. It‟s violent. It’s sexy. It’s oddly humorous. And to quote acclaimed director Ken Russell, it’s a “substantially mythic treat.”
