GENREBLAST FILM FESTIVAL: Tonight and Maybe Tomorrow (2025)

Directed and written by Michael Smallwood — who also shows up in the beginning of the story as the host; he was Marcus the doctor in the recent Halloween films, the same name he uses in the film — this is about a party at the end of the world.

Within this strange time, Addison (Shivam Patel) and Cass (Shivam Patel) decide to turn it into their first date, making sandwiches together and trying to figure out that now, as the world is running out of time, they’ve finally decided to connect. As that happens, the party goes on as people process what the end of the world means. Is there anything after it? Or is this really how the world fades away?

This has an interesting idea and a cast capable of pulling it off. It’s not perfect, but I think that’s precisely how one of these endtime events would feel. Kind of happy, pretty sad, totally drunk.
