Cannibals and Aliens Come Calling in ‘Sister Tempest’ Trailer

Writer/director Joe Badon’s surreal arthouse-meets-grindhouse debut feature The God Inside My Ear made my Gruesome Magazine top 10 films of 2018 list, and now the Louisiana filmmaker has released the trailer for his follow-up feature Sister Tempest, which promises to be at least as outré as its predecessor. 

The film’s description states: “Anne Hutchinson’s troubled relationship with her missing sister is under alien tribunal. Meanwhile, her new roommate’s mysterious illness causes her to go on a cannibalistic killing spree.” Judging from this trailer, viewers can expect more of the eye-popping visuals, surreal sequences, clever nods to classic films from horror and other genres, and, of course, the unexpected, that The God Inside My Ear served up. Besides being a filmmaker, Badon is also an outstanding artist, comic book writer and illustrator, and musician. Cinema is a perfect medium for this multitalented creative to explore his visions.
