The Stunt People are to movies what The Primitive Screwheads are to theatre. (As you might have noticed, we love the Screwheads, so we consider the comparision high praise indeed.) We first heard about this SF based group of action filmmakers when they completed their most recent feature, Contour, which has already had several sold-out screenings at the 4 Star Theatre. Contour, which was nominated for Best Fight Choreography and Best Action Sequence at......

Saturday: Hell yeah! For those of you who couldn't get a ticket during HoleHead, The Primitive Screwheads are back with their stage show The Chainsaw Massacres. Running on June 30, July 1, 2, and 7, you can get your tickets here. Doors open at 7:30, a band plays at 8, and the Sawyers chow down at 9, all at Cellspace (2050 Bryant at 18th). Sunday: Sometimes we like to pretend to be deep, and going......

While we love everything about the Another Hole In The Head film festival, we're especially stoked about the The Primitive Screwheads' production of their new show, The Chainsaw Massacres, at CELLspace June 14 at 9 p.m. We first fell for these guys last HoleHead, when we saw their brilliant Evil Dead Live, and we had a blast at their Re-Animator of the Dead: The Tale of Herbert West. Their new show looks to be......

SF Indie's Another Hole In The Head is the film fest we enjoy the most (that's why we sponsor it), and we couldn't be happier to see it back for its third year of blood, guts, and mayhem. Last year, we saw nearly every film at the fest, and have the post traumatic stress disorder to prove it. This year is no different, with SFist's crack film fest team at the Roxie Film Center nearly......

Full Disclosure: Any last scraps of journalistic "integrity" regarding this show were swept away when we saw that our earlier interview with The Primitive Screwheads excerpted in the program for Re-Animator of the Dead: The Tale of Herbert West. Our first blurb! Look out, David Manning! Going to see a Primitive Screwheads show at the Off-Market Theater is always weird -- you wait in one room, are ushered into an elevator, and eventually enter......

Oh, how we adore the Primitive Screwheads. Our first experience with them was at the final (sob) performance of their most glorious Evil Dead: Live, in which the guerilla (to wit: they rehearse in whatever unoccupied classrooms they can find at a local college, their props all seem to come from Mythbusters:The Home Version, and we're not really clear on their adherence to copyright law) theatre company brilliantly deconstructed the classic Sam Raimi trilogy......
