Legendary genre filmmaker, J.R. Bookwalter, is making waves in the industry once again after a twenty-year absence. Known for his unique take on horror, comedy, and sci-fi, Bookwalter is presenting his latest creation, ‘Side Effects May Vary’. This strikingly unconventional sci-fi horror-comedy promises laughter, fright, and a nostalgic nod to classic cinema.
Bringing Back Classic Horror
Keeping the monster movie era alive, ‘Side Effects May Vary’ draws inspiration from 1970s classics, most notably ‘The Incredible Melting Man.’ This thrilling film unfolds around an experimental pandemic vaccine, with its side effects serving as the perfect backdrop for a humor-filled plotline laced with vintage sci-fi horror. Anticipate joke-packed dialogues, suspenseful twists, and iconic monster flick vibes coming to your home screen soon.
Exclusive Pre-order Opportunity
In an exciting move, J.R. Bookwalter presents fans with the unique opportunity to secure their copy of this home video release through a Kickstarter campaign. This limited-edition Blu-ray and DVD package comes with an exclusive offer—the uncut version, which runs for 84 minutes. That’s three minutes more than what regular viewers will experience when it streams later in the year. Some lucky supporters will even receive a special Kickstarter-exclusive Blu-ray slipcover, autographed by Bookwalter himself, with only 300 units available.
Enrich Your Viewing Experience
Bookwalter piles on the bonuses, providing a range of special features to enrich your viewing experience. Along with Dolby Digital and DTS-HD MA surround sound, you’ll get to listen to Bookwalter’s commentary, view two trailers, and partake in a Q&A session from the premiere night at the Harris Theatre in Pittsburgh.
Iconic Cast and Memorable Scenes
This comedic horror stars James L. Edwards (who is also the film’s writer), Drew Fortier, Floyd Ewing Jr., Tina Krause, Sasha Graham, Brinke Stevens, Wendy Zier, and Tom Hoover. Audiences can anticipate memorable scenes, including an unforgettable shot with Tina Krause, exclusive to the uncensored version of the film.
