Dr. William Weir (Sam Neill) is brought on board the Lewis and Clark, a deep space rescue vessel under the command of the no-nonsense Captain Miller (the legendary Laurence Fishburne); the mission at hand: explore the Event Horizon… a ship (shaped like a massive crucifix no less) Weir designed that went missing near a black hole seven years prior… before mysteriously re-appearing, which 9 out of 10 dentists will agree “es no bueno”. Naturally, the blue-collar spacers aren’t in any way equipped to handle what they encounter on that doomed ship; namely, an evil presence that tortures them with horrific hallucinations before moving on to forced suicide and oh so very many more nasty surprises!

Chimera, the highly-anticipated sci-fi thriller will be holding its North American premiere on Wednesday Aprill 11th as the opening feature of the Boston International Film Festival (BIFF). The attending audience will enjoy the distinguished presence of Oscar® and two-time Golden Globes nominated actress Kathleen Quinlan, LGBT-rights advocate and actress Erika Ervin and first-time writer-director Maurice Haeems as well as cast members Henry Ian Cusick, Kathleen Quinlan, and “American Horror Story” actress Erika Ervin a.k.a. Amazon Eve. “Chimera was filmed entirely in Massachusetts for which the producers give thanks to the assistance of the MA Film Office and to the tax credits offered by the MA Department of Revenue. Most of the production’s below-the-line crew and supporting cast are from the region and/or have ties to the state. Given Chimera’s deep connections to Boston and Massachusetts, the film’s North American Premiere is fittingly taking place on Opening Night at the 2018 BIFF.” We viewed Chimera not just as a stunning piece
