Writer/director Tyler Savage and Barbeau both encore from their fest-favorite short film of the same title.

ODDITIES, an expansion of the short you can see below, has its world premiere tomorrow, April 14 at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival. The cast also includes Lilimar, Lovie Simone, Xander Berkeley (CANDYMAN), Will Oldham, Lucas Fleisher and Sarah Durn; the synopsis: “When two self-destructive best friends accidentally kill their drug dealer, they have to flee town. Stopping at a roadside antique shop, they quickly discover that the older woman running the place isn’t as sweet as she seems. It’s out of the frying pan and into the fire as they fight for survival while the criminals they were running away from descend on the property.”
