Dark Wave:
First, the rules...
1. Don't be the first one to go into an abandoned barn on Halloween.
2. Masturbation is not always the answer.
3. Blood falling from the sky is usually a bad sign.
4. Always check a new lease for hidden ape clauses.
Welcome to Dark Wave, where the truly adventurous can buy a ticket and then strap themselves in for
the ride. From nighttime terrors to outrageous high school exploits to a buddy movie like no other,
these four films will leave you teetering on the edge of what you think you know and what you could
never expect. So don't bother buying popcorn before these films. Once they start, you're going to be
too stunned to chew.
The Ape
Directed by James Franco
Written by James Franco and Merriwether Williams
In this dark comedy, put-upon family man Harry abandons his family to become the next Dostoyevsky,
but finds himself sharing an apartment with a foul-mouthed, Hawaiian shirt-wearing gorilla.
Promedio Rojo (Chile/Spain)
Directed and written by Nicolas Lopez
First-time Chilean filmmaker Nicolás López throws his obsession with comic books, Kevin Smith,
bodily fluid jokes, and John Hughes movies into a blender, serving up an outrageous teen angst
comedy with surprising skill.
The Roost
Directed and written by Ti West
Four friends run into car trouble in the middle of nowhere and wind up battling bloodthirsty bats and
the always hungry undead in Ti West's B- movie blast.
R-Point (Korea)
Directed and written by Kong Su-chang
War is hell, and no place is that truer than R-Point, where the ground is soaked in blood and the dead
refuse to stay down.
