OUT OF THE BOX: Different Thinking Films for Different Thinking People. Out of the Box is a showcase for films that expand the offerings of films normally associated with a GLBT Film Festival. This edition brings a psychological thriller that will spook you a bit, but make you think a lot.
Joseph returns to his hometown to investigate the hush-hush case of eight gay men who allegedly died by suicide at a now-abandoned psychiatric hospital. While photographing the location and interviewing past employees, Joseph encounters memorable townsfolk, including a prying childhood neighbor and the elusive Luke, with whom he develops steamy chemistry. As suspicious deaths begin occurring around the neighborhood, the investigation deepens. Director Matthew Fifer, known for Cicada, crafts Haze as a slow-burn queer slice-of-life thriller with somber, horror-leaning qualities. The film’s eerie, beautiful shots and Joseph’s gradual character development create a haunting, contemplative experience.
