SITGES, Spain — Zombies of every stripe, French neo-Nazi cannibals, sukiyaki gunslingers, and … Woody Allen? Either every film makes a strange bedfellow or none of them do at Sitges 2007. More officially known as the Festival Internacional de Cinema de Catalunya, the sprawling 11-day cinema marathon celebrates every mutant variation in the catch-all genre known as fantastic cinema. “Europeans are not snobbish about this stuff,” Stuart Gordon, the American director who first achieved cult status with his giddy, gross-out 1980s adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft stories “Re-Animator” and “From Beyond,” said. Mr. Gordon is back at the resort village on the Balearic Coast for the fourth time, as the festival mounts his latest low-budget shocker, “Stuck.” The film, based on a true story, ponders the existential dilemma of a homeless man (Stephen Rea) who finds himself wedged in a car windshield after a nurse (Mena Suvari) recklessly smacks into him and hides vehicle and victim in her garage.
