You’ll soon be able to own the SOV veteran’s latest fright feature on disc.
Tomorrow, indie filmmaker J.R. Bookwalter will launch a Kickstarter campaign featuring pre-orders for his new movie SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY; the link will be here. The page will offer the uncut theatrical release version on region-free Blu-ray and DVD, along with lots of associated merch including a slipcover signed by Bookwalter (limited to 275 units), a face mask, T-shirt, theatrical one-sheet poster, limited-edition signed VHS and more. There will also be an “I Want It All Bundle” containing both discs and every merch item plus an exclusive art print and five color stills.
SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY was scripted by James L. Edwards, who also stars along with Tina Krause, Floyd Ewing Jr., Sasha Graham, Brinke Stevens, Tom Hoover, Michael Todd and Drew Fortier, with a voice cameo by Debbie Rochon. The synopsis: “SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY tells the fictional story of a world gripped by a deadly pandemic, as science denier Glenn Rollins [Edwards] 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 Glenn will soon discover the only thing more fatal than the virus…is the cure.” The movie is wrapping up its roadshow screening tour; you can see the final dates here.
