The plot is a dark and surreal journey that revolves around a psychopath that feeds on women’s tears. When circumstances set the duo out on a bizarre odyssey across Los Angeles to collect “debts,” featuring delightful appearances from the likes of Reggie Watts and Corey Feldman, you’re left with a feminist twist on the buddy comedy that you won’t be able to help but fall in love with.Īlso at the festival is the world premiere of director Stephen Vanderpool and writer/star Sam Brittan’s Tearsucker. Drexton, that centers around Gwen (Samantha Westervelt) and James (Amanda Drexton), two flailing thirtysomething besties that are as broke as they are self absorbed.

Opening the festival will be the Southeast premiere of Onyx The Fortuitous And The Talisman Of Souls based on director Andrew Bowser’s viral character Onyx, who has racked up over 300 million plus views online.

Register Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls by Andrew Bowser CUFF continues to attract audiences with its programming of films that engage audiences and defy convention. Recently, CUFF was named one of the Best Horror Festivals in the World, 2022 by Dread Central, and one of the World’s 50 Best Genre Festivals and one of 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee in 2021 by MovieMaker Magazine. I saw this as part of the Calgary Underground Film Festival, which for twenty years has been dedicated to elevating Calgary’s cultural landscape with the best in international independent cinema. That’s a sword that I will definitely fall on. I mean, more movies should have demon puppets in them. But when a movie has gigantic puppet demons and an entire sequence that’s taken from the Meat Loaf video for “I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That),” I think that feels like people who have no idea how to have fun. I thought Onyx was relatively funny and I didn’t have any issues, but some reviewers seem to in no way be able to get past him. Your enjoyment will be determined by how much you like the strange-voiced, virginal cartoon-loving loser at the heart of it. However, the Fortuitous One is among them and it just might be Onyx. Instead, he is stealing their souls and transforming them into zombies, all to increase his power. However, Bartok has no interest in teaching any of these would-be dark lords. Duke (TC Carson, the voice of Mace Windu and Kratos in God of War), the tough, understanding and non-binary Mack (Rivkah Reyes, who was once Katie in School of Rock) and the prim and proper former church lady Marsha (Donna Pieroni). He’s one of the many followers lured into this ritual by Bartok’s assistant Farrah (Olivia Taylor Dudley, Paranormal Acivity: The Ghost Dimension), along with Bartok’s wife in a past life Jesminder (Melanie Chandra), magical scholar Mr. Bartok the Great (Jeffrey Combs) is an occultist who has created several learn-at-home programs - Letting a Little Devil In - that Onyx has studied in his pursuit of Satanism and now, he has a chance to be the magician’s assistant as he raises a demon from Hell. He’s barely tolerated by his parents (Barbara Crampton is his mom!). He makes burgers for a living at Marty’s Meat Hut and gets abused at every turn. Now, Onyx is part of his own film, Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls, directed, written and edited by Bowser. As Onyx the Fortuitous, he’s also been listed as “Weird Satanic Guy” and his distinct speech pattern will definitely stick with you. You may have seen Andrew Bowser play Onyx before in viral videos.
