MUNDO EXTRANO SHOWCASE

Once the theater goes dark and lights begin to flicker on the big screen, it’s easy to let your imagination soar and escape into worlds of the unknown. This year, the festival brings swimsuit-clad aliens attempting to take over the world, heroes existing as everyday men who take up legendary challenges, and ordinary things that either bring out the best in each of us, or at the turn of a dime, can feed our worst nightmares. Science fiction, horror, and fantasy are explored in MUNDO EXTRANO.  New and classic films to be screened in this showcase include:

Kilometro 31 - Mexico and Spain join the international horror film tradition when a mysterious accident along the highway at Kilometer 31 sets off a series of supernatural events.

Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo - Supernatural events frighten the residents of an all girls psychiatrict hospital in this modern reimagination of a 1968 Mexican classic horror film starring Martha Higareda and Danny Perea (Duck Season).

El Planeta de las Mujeres Invasoras - The quintessential B-movie vamp, Lorena Velasquez, gets to play dual roles in this 1965 obscure, campy SciFi flick.

La Nave de los Monstruos - Camp Classic starring Lorena Velazquez and Ana Bertha Lepe as voluptuous bathing suit-clad aliens with a cargo of B-movie monsters.
