Side Effects May Vary: Austin Premiere and Director Q&A w/ J.R. BookWalter. Limited Edition Merch!

With the world gripped by a deadly pandemic, science denier Glenn Rollins turns to an experimental vaccine as treatment for a lingering sickness. Much to the surprise of his doctor, wife, and friends, the remedy immediately fixes what ails him. But Glenn will soon discover the only thing more fatal than the virus... is the cure!

While supplies last, attendees receive a FREE collectible promotional giveaway surgical mask featuring full-color artwork from the movie’s poster plus a FREE mystery DVD!

This unrated movie contains nudity, language, sex, and graphic violence equivalent to a hard MPAA "R" rating! 17+ only, please

J.R. Bookwalter wrote, produced, and directed his debut feature film “The Dead Next Door" (1990) at the tender age of 19, an odyssey that would take four years to complete with the uncredited backing of a now-legendary Hollywood director. Shot on Super-8mm, this auspicious debut quickly achieved cult status with horror fans and critics alike, paving the way for an eclectic filmography that includes “Robot Ninja” (1989), “Ozone” (1994), and “Witchouse 2: Blood Coven" (2000). After a 23-year absence, Bookwalter returns to the director's chair with the sci-fi/horror throwback "Side Effects May Vary" (2024).

Limited Edition VHS available only at screening!
