NIGHT FREAKS World premiere the Roswell Daily Record Film Festival, a celebration of cinema featuring UFOs, The Paranormal, and Cryptozoology.
David Blyth is regarded as the Godfather of New Zealand genre film, with dark and bloody classics like DEATH WARMED UP, ANGEL MINE, TRANSFIGURED NIGHTS, WOUND, GHOST BRIDE and the recently restored and released MY GRANDPA IS A VAMPIRE, starring the legendary Al Lewis.
Now Mr. Blyth returns with his super quirky musical docufiction feature, NIGHT FREAKS. (Part of a trilogy of films along with WOUND and GHOST BRIDE that deals with tears in the fabric of everyday reality). Based loosely on his own alien encounter experiences and those of his stars, David Blyth has crafted a microbudget gem replete with original musical numbers, a Christopher Guest-like drollness, and a loving tip of the hat to the legendary Edward D. Wood Jr.
