“Eraserhead meets The Legend of Zelda in a black-and-white, cicada-plagued sci-fi trip —
Writer/director Albert Birney’s OBEX is a surreal, early-’90s-esque odyssey into its main character’s (also played by Birney) addiction to his vintage Mac and inability to form actual human connections. With the lo-fi scrappiness of a dot matrix printer and the hallucinatory male-specific anxiety of David Lynch’s Eraserhead, OBEX tells the story of an awkward-under-his-skin computer programmer named Conor who escapes dreary black-and-white Baltimore into a fantasy world to defeat a demon named Ixaroth.”
