Attend this film fest: 2012 Boston Underground Film Festival [BUFF] @ the Brattle

John Dies at the End

Never a disappointment for those seeking transgressive, provocative, ground-breaking, or just plain entertaining movies, the Boston Underground Film Festival opens on Thursday, March 29 with the spoiler-defying John Dies at the End (2012; 8 pm) , a horror film of sorts about a newfangled drug called Soy Sauce that sends users on a trip from which they don't return - though something does. It stars Paul Giamatti and Clancy Brown and is directed by Don Coscarelli, who will be there in person for a Q&A. A reception follows the screening at 10 pm, and it all takes place at the Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | $9.75; $7.75 students; $6.75 seniors | 617.876.6837 or brattlefilm.org.
