SF IndieFest: Jump Scare & Monster Medicine

Jump Scare
A female metal band, Jump Scare, heads to a secluded desert cabin to write their next album—along with their roadie/driver, Dale. What begins as a typical road trip turns bizarre after a flat tire leads Dale to vanish into the wilderness and stumble upon a nearby “cannibal family” whose twisted domestic life hides something monstrous. One by one, the bandmates face absurd, gruesome, and darkly comic encounters—ranging from an exploding birth scene to a psychotic matriarch commanding her cult-like clan. The chaos escalates until the surviving women stage a blood-soaked, defiant comeback to rescue Dale and reclaim their power. (Dir. Donnie Hobbie, 102 mins)

Monster Medicine
An emergency doctor on a heavenly mission works to save the patient from hell in an East L.A. Urgent Care transforming each of them forever in the most unexpected ways. (Dir. Veronica Felicity Johnson, 12 mins)
