The longest running genre fest in the US, the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival (Boston SciFi for short) returned for its 48th annual event in Somerville, Ma last week.
I was only able to attend one of the five days, but I managed to squeeze in four features plus two panels. Here’s what I saw at this year’s Boston Science Fiction Film Festival.
The Warm Season
Boston SciFi hosted the world premiere of The Warm Season, a character-driven sci-fi drama with shades of Starman. As a young girl, Clive (Carie Kawa) encountered Mann (Michael Esparza), an alien in human disguise, who gave her a glowing rock before being captured by government agents. 25 years later in 1992, an escaped Mann returns to Clive’s failing motel to retrieve the “fail-safe” in order to return to his planet. Between the weather patterns and the government closing in, they only have three days to get him home.

We're pretty excited for the indie horror flick, Wicked Lake, especially because The Lost director Chris Sivertson produced it. Today we caught word that the official website has launched for the film, which stars Marc Senter, Robin Sydney, Tim Thomerson, Will Kennan, Angela Bettis, Michael Esparza. At the site you can not only check out a dozen stills, but you can watch the first trailer! Go check it out! Wicked Lake tells of four co-ed girls who head out to a lakeside mountain cabin for a relaxing weekend. Unbeknownst to them, there are two groups of predatory monstrosities who have their eyes on them ... that is until the stroke of midnight when all hell literally breaks loose.
