USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…The Human Race Will Leave You Breathless at The Valley Film Festival
Laemmle’s NoHo 7 (North Hollywood, CA)
The premise of The Human Race, a new sci-fi thriller from Paul Hough, is simple: a seemingly random group of people awaken to find themselves in a strange environment. Voices inside their heads set out the rules to a vicious footrace. If you are lapped twice, you die. If you venture off the path, you die. Thus begins what critics are calling an “R-rated Hunger Games” where people of all ages and backgrounds are pitted against each other in the ultimate contest for survival. Director Hough (The Backyard, The Angel) aimed to challenge almost every convention of the sci-fi and horror genres, including casting a lead actor (Eddie McGee) with only one leg. After years in production, the movie received an ecstatic world premiere at The Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal where it was celebrated as “an absolute triumph of ingenuity” and a “smartly scripted powerhouse.”
