The 16th Annual Another Hole In The Head Film Festival
On Sunday, December 15th, at 9 pm, Another Hole In The Head showcases its closing night feature “To Your Last Death”. The 91-minute animated horror feature by Jason Axinn (2019) opens with Miriam DeKalb (voiced by Dani Lennon) covered in blood, bursting out of a building, clutching an axe, while two mysterious figures look on. “Lock the bets,” one tells the other.
“He killed them!” Miriam exclaims. “He killed my family!” As the sole survivor in a deadly revenge game set up by her father to punish his children, she receives an offer from a supernatural entity to go back in time and try again. Now, Miriam must survive both her father's blood lust and the Gamemaster's ever-changing rules to save her siblings as she relives the worst night of her life.
Anon Bitel writes, “Jason Axinn’s hyperviolent anime ‘To Your Last Death’ offers an alien-eye view on our capacity for self-destruction at a familial and corporate level.”
A week earlier, on Sunday, December 8th, at 1 pm, “Stranger with Eye Candy” is a program of 11 animated shorts: “Cemetery Song”, “Dong Kae (“My Little Bum”), “Hell Hath No Furie” (a short thriller starring angry women), “Into the Flame” (Floyd goes over the edge contemplating the disappearance of his cult obsessed wife), “Kaeru,
