Video Interview with ‘Birdemic’ Director, Arizona Screening Added!
When we first heard Severin was taking Birdemic: Shock and Terror on the road, we weren’t sure if was going to work with the audiences. On a small scale, my group of friends and I have been watching it religiously. We begged Severin to let us sponsor the tour and we’re hoping to share the magic with Bloody Disgusting readers. It’s no secret that the movie is bad, but holy crap is it one hell of a good time. With the red carpet unrolling this past weekend to a sold out screaming crowd (watch videos), and last night’s successful Austin screenings, March 5 and 6th Arizona readers will be able to find out why the eagles and vultures are attacking (although, does it really matter?). Click here for ticketing info for the March 5 & 6th screenings at the MADCAP Theaters in Tempe, AZ. There is also an encore screening March 5th here in Los Angeles. But that’s not all, below you’ll find the first part of our exclusive one-on-one chat with director James Nguyen who talks about the surprise success of Birdemic. Watch for more coverage soon and watch the official fan page for updates on (or to request) a theater near you.

Katharine Isabelle Battles Cosmic Horror in Exclusive ‘Junction Row’ Teaser Trailer [Fantasia 2026]
Among Fantasia 2026‘s massive final wave of programming this morning is Raven Banner’s Lovecraftian creature feature Junction Row, starring Canadian horror icon Katharine Isabelle, and we’re exclusively unveiling the teaser trailer.
Junction Row will celebrate its World Premiere at Fantasia on July 28.
Watch a housing compound fall under siege from Lovecraftian creatures more dangerous than drug dealers in the trailer below.
Junction Row follows “Juno, a recovering addict who leaves a fringe housing compound for a better life, leaving her beloved Ruby behind. When she learns that Ruby has gone missing, Juno returns, only to find Junction Row has become a hotbed of criminal activity, but she encounters much more than menacing drug dealers on her mission to find Ruby.”
Isabelle stars as Juno, with Natalie Brown (FX’s The Strain) as Ruby.
The creature feature marks the feature debut by director Ashlea Wessel, who has directed festival-favorite shorts like 2018’s “Tick” and 2020’s “Weirdo”.
Wessel co-writes Junction Row with Clown in a Cornfield author Adam Cesare and Matt Serafini.
Katharine Isabelle is coming off a brief appearance in Kane Parsons’ Backrooms, and more recently appeared in holiday horror It’s a Wonderful Knife. The horror icon is arguably best known for her turn as the eponymous werewolf in Ginger Snaps and for her roles in American Mary and Freddy vs Jason.
Fantasia teases that Junction Row tells “a story where the fear of the unknown isn’t confined to what lies above, but what waits beneath.”
Stay tuned for more from Fantasia as the festival gets underway later this month.
