Wild Zero is what happens when a punk-rock concert, a zombie apocalypse, a sci-fi fever dream, and a midnight movie all collide at full speed. Starring Japanese garage-punk legends Guitar Wolf as themselves, the film follows a devoted fan on a chaotic quest involving undead hordes, alien interference, explosive action, and one of the most unexpectedly heartfelt love stories in cult cinema. Loud, outrageous, funny, and gloriously unhinged, Wild Zero is the kind of movie that rewards an audience willing to cheer, laugh, and ask, “How did they get away with this?” As Variety’s critic Ken Eisner puts it, Wild Zero “has everything the midnight crowd could possibly want.”
Trigger warning: exploding head, pee cams, bad rock songs, stupid zombies.
Free and un-ticketed.
