APRIL
SCREENING SCHEDULE
April 1st, 2005 - 12am
DEEP RED (Profondo Rosso)
- Italy 1975, Dir: Dario Argento
Dario Argento's cult shocker that kick
started the Italian giallo craze of the 1970's. David Hemmings (Blow Up) stars
as a voyeuristic American jazz musician living in Rome who becomes increasingly
obsessed by a string of grisly murders built around a decades old secret. Full
of hypnotic, swirling camera work, pulsing electronic music (byItalian prog
rock band Goblin) and gallons of gruesome gore, DEEP RED is an undisputed
classic of European horror. Uncut print.
April 8th 2005 - 12am
ZOMBIE - Italy 1979, Dir; Lucio Fulci
Legendary gorefest from the man who
redefined the term "splatter". Made in the wake of George Romero's Dawn of the
Dead, Fulci's film finds hordes of flesh eating corpses infesting a small
Caribbean island, literally chewing the scenery and every living victim in
their path. Featuring the now famous scene where a girl gets a splinter of wood
driven through her eye and of course, the zombie vs. shark battle. Don't ask,
just come…this one has to be seen to be believed.
April 15th, 2005
- 12am
FRIGHTMARE - UK 1974, Dir: Peter Walker
UK exploitation master
Peter Walker's deliriously twisted paean to life among the London cannibals is
widely considered to be the thinking mans Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Gory and
genuinely disturbing, this mini masterpiece boasts an unforgettably unsettling
performance by Sheila Keith as the murderous matriarch.
April 22nd,
2005 - 12am
THE DEVILS NIGHTMARE - French/Spanish 1971 Dir: Jean
Brismee
Super sexy, super cool Eurotrash shocker has garnered a sizeable
cult since it's initial release. Erika Blanc (Kill Baby, Kill) stars as a
sultry succubus who creatively kills a busload of scummy tourists one by bloody
one. Loaded with softcore sex, trippy music and cheap make up effects, this one
is a guilty pleasure of the highest order. Uncut print.
April 29th ,
2005 - 12am
KILL BABY, KILL (Curse of the Living Dead) - Italy 1966, Dir:
Mario Bava
Italian horror Godfather Mario Bava's elegant and eerie exorcise
in surrealist horror about a cursed Transylvanian village and the vengeful
ghost child that haunts it. Kill Baby, Kill's considerable influence is echoed
in many of the modern Japanese horror films (Ringu, Ju-On) and it is guaranteed
to chill your blood.
