BADASS Film Festival: Blackout

The Ninth Annual International Vancouver Badass Film Festival  w/ Genre Film & Script Awards and Live Sideshow Spectacular!

Horror directing (and lately acting) legend Larry Fessenden returns with his brand new werewolf film Blackout, a follow-up of sorts to his 2022 Frankenstein film Depraved; kind of a rural upstate alcohol & lycanthropy counterpoint to his cool gritty urban New York vampire and drugs film The Addiction (1995).  Starring Alex Hurt (son of the late William Hurt -who appears, in a way, as the main character’s father), the film is about a fine arts painter who is convinced that he is a werewolf wreaking havoc on a small American town under the full moon.
