The Stranger

Bruce LaBruce may not have made the first gay zombie film, but he's certainly made the most substantial one. Built around the life and memories of the titular alterna-zombie, Otto; or, Up with Dead People is a compelling mishmash of zombie drama, art-house pretension, queer theory, AIDS allegory, vegetarian treatise, hardcore porn, faux documentary, and a good, old-fashioned homosexual blood feast. It's insanely inventive and, for the most part, it works. (Director scheduled to attend.) (Egyptian Theatre, 801 E Pine St, www.thestranger.com/siff. Midnight, $8.) by David Schmader
