Starring: Josh Fadem, James Urbaniak, Tipper Newton, Vera Drew, John Ennis, Barbara Crampton

Featuring a post-screening Q&A with director Mickey Reece.

One day, office worker Joe’s (Josh Fadem) life is as mundane as it gets; the next day, though, he’s witnessed a murder and put at the center of a string of missing women reports and in the crosshairs of a serial killer whose unorthodox methods are tech-forward and psychologically warped. The latest dose of idiosyncratic excellence from indie maverick Mickey Reece, EVERY HEAVY THING blends sharp, pitch-black comedy with serial killer horror flourishes, unpredictable narrative turns, and a strong cast that includes Barbara Crampton and Vera Drew. —Matt Barone
