Sure, cult films don't generally have the production values of the standard Hollywood fare. But freedom from mainstream dollars means freedom of expression, too, and with the lineup of films at the 2nd Arizona Underground Film Fesitval, you'll hear all sorts of voices you won't at the multiplex.

Some of these voices will be screaming—you would shout, too, if you were being chased by sex-crazed zombies or serial killers—because fest director David Pike has been sure to program plenty of horror films. You'll also get documentaries, animation and narratives, plus, new this year, exploitation films.

Held at four venues—Loft Cinema, The Screening Room, Crossroads Festival and the Red Room—this fest isn't for the timid. It's for the underground.
