In Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks, the President of the United States, in a final bid to save the human race, implores the space invaders before him with the exhortation: “Little people, can’t we all just get along?” Needless to say, he doesn’t live. A cursory scan of the battle-poised titles at this year’s Another Hole in the Film Festival similarly answers “Hell nah” to any notions of smiling on your fellow brother, be they alien, lycanthrope or simply psychotic. There’s Alien vs. Ninja, Dr. “S” Battles the Sex Crazed Reefer Zombies, Jimmy Tupper vs. The Goatman of Bowie, Mil Mascaras vs. The Aztec Mummy, Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl and, last but not least, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. And that’s not even counting the other films in SF Indiefest’s 7th annual showcase of the wildest and weirdest in independently produced sci-fi, horror and fantasy that include their share of supernatural showdowns and savage fights to the death.
