ICFS Presents: Side Effects May Vary

Presented by ICFS

Legendary DIY director J.R. Bookwalter (“The Dead Next Door;” “Robot Ninja”) and writer/star James L. Edwards are coming to Proctors!

This is Bookwalter’s 1st film in over 20 years and critics agree “It’s like he never stopped making movies.”
It’s “Magnificent on every level.”
It’s “everything I wanted it to be. It was hilarious, it was disgusting, it was exciting..”
It’s “totally indistinguishable from classic 80s genre fare… and I loved every second.”
And what did ICFS’s Paul Kazee write? “No lie. I experienced more joy watching this, than I did “Dune: Part 2.”

In addition to Bookwalter and Edwards, the cast includes Brinke Stevens (“Slumber Party Massacre;” “This is Spinal Tap”), Tina Krause (“My Last Best Friend;” “Sixteen Tongues”), Catskill’s own Sasha Graham (“Bloodletting;” “Polymorph”) and a voice cameo by DEebbie Rochon (“Satan Hates You;” “Tromeo & Juliet”).

SO WHAT’S THE MOVIE ABOUT?

With the world gripped by a deadly pandemic, science denier Glenn Rollins turns to an experimental vaccine as treatment for a lingering sickness. Much to the surprise of his doctor, wife and friends, the remedy immediately fixes what ails him. But, as Glenn soon discovers, the only thing more fatal than the virus…is the cure!

NOTE: While supplies last, attendees will receive a FREE collectible promotional giveaway surgical mask featuring full-color artwork from the movie’s poster, plus a FREE mystery DVD from the Tempe archives! Plus, both Bookwalter and Edwards will stick around for a post-show Q&A.

Of course, as with other ICFS events, expect prizes, surprises, comfy sofas and a convenient bar.

2024. Though not rated, SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY includes nudity, language, sex, and graphic violence, and as such, should be treated as Rated R.
