...If you're in New England later this month, then rejoice! One of our favorite festivals, the 22nd annual Boston Underground Film Festival returns to Harvard Square, bringing with it five days of "sublime cinervana" to the Brattle Theatre from March 25th through the 29th.

This year’s program promises "a whole lot of unholy obsession, objectophilia, WTF thrillers, genre-spinning slashers, familial dysfunction, queer clairvoyance, and more." Check out the full list of new genre films playing at the fest below, and make sure to get tickets here!
