80s Throwback B&W Nerdy Computer Horror 'OBEX' Official Trailer

"Someday we'll all be living in computers..." That's for sure. Oscilloscope Labs has unveiled the full trailer for OBEX, a peculiar indie horror fantasy sci-fi creation from the mind of filmmaker Albert Birney (also of Strawberry Mansion). This first premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival in the experimental Next section, then played at the RiverRun, Atlanta, Chicago Critics, Sydney, Munich, Fantasia, & Vancouver Film Festivals during the year. Set in the 1980s, Conor Marsh's secluded life disrupted when he gets a start of the art new game called OBEX which claims to digitize the player and put them into the game. But when he starts playing, his dog Sandy disappears, blurring reality and game. Conor enters the OBEX world to rescue Sandy, navigating its strange realms. A black-and-white surreal fantasy film. Starring Albert Birney as Conor, Callie Hernandez, Paisley Isaacs, Frank Mosley, Tyler Davis, and more. This nerdy little film has such a funky retro vibe, with all the clunky hardware and 8-bit chunkiness from the 80s. It's a unique & entertaining indie project that I hope cinephiles of all kinds watch out for when it's in theaters. View below. // Continue Reading ›
