In The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue (which has to be one of the catchier names on the indie horror scene these days), we meet down on their luck brothers Jarman (Laflamboy) and Marion (Bradecich). Just back from a failed stint raising llamas, Jarman has just returned to the rapidly depopulating Chicago building managed by deadpan brother Marion who's got his own struggles to contend with.
See, the gas has just been shut off in the building and Marion's been left to deal with the fact that their building's electricity is being stolen from a church next door. The only tenants that remain are a generally disagreeable bunch including a couple of cranky oldsters (including horror icon Robert Englund), a prostitute and an apartment full of stoners.
As if all of that wasn't enough to deal with, the brothers suddenly realize that all the pets in the building are disappearing...
