A TOWN CALLED PANIC


A TOWN CALLED PANIC
Thursday midnight at South Lamar (Tickets here)
Opens Friday at the Ritz
Advance tickets available here

“A TOWN CALLED PANIC proves you don’t need fancy CGI techniques, 3-D, or stunt voice casting to make a sparkly little gem.”
Leslie Felperin, Variety

“There’s really very little to say about this film beyond that it’s absolutely brilliant.”
Peter Brunette, The Hollywood Reporter

“The film’s humor, simultaneously giddy and satirical, is reminiscent of “South Park” and the “Wallace & Gromit” movies, but it’s less pointed, more poetic.”
Mike Hale, New York Times

“I enjoyed this film so much I’m sorry to report it was finally too much of a muchness. You can only eat so much cake. But I don’t think that’s a problem…It has an innocent hallucinatory charm.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It's hard to believe that a stop motion animated Belgian film about a reckless Cowboy, his best friend the Indian, a super cool horse, and larcenous underwater gill-men could cause all the hard-boiled, seen-it-all programmers at the Alamo and Fantastic Fest to fall all over themselves, but that's exactly the case. We laughed so hard and long at this movie that when it was over, we knew we had to bring it to Austin. The problem was, they weren't planning on releasing it in Austin. So we have jumped through flaming hoops to bring it to you. Would we do that if this movie were anything less than an ATOMIC BOMB of righteousness?
