Zombie
Directed by Lucio Fulci. Italy. 1979. NR. Running time: 91 min.
Sponsored by Iron Hill Brewery.
- Fri, Mar 5, 9:45 pm
Lucio Fulci’s unofficial follow up to George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978) is a twisted, scary and fun romp in the zombie genre. After a sailboat shows up in New York harbor with the undead on it, Anne (Tisa Farrow) and Peter (Ian McCulloch) go looking for the boat’s owner. Their journey takes them to Matul Island where a mad man is bringing the dead back to life. Part voodoo and part science, this shocking tale reveals the dangers when one person decides to play God. The film has a realistic nightmare quality to it as if somewhere this might have actually happened. To get anyone to watch the film all you have to say is “Zombie vs. Shark” (check it out on YouTube) and you’re there. (Bob Trate)
The Fly
Directed by David Cronenberg. US. 1986. R. Running time: 96 min.
Sponsored by Iron Hill Brewery.
- Fri, Apr 2, 9:45 pm
A brilliant young scientist, Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), is working on a matter transport device. Willingly, Brundle transports himself in the machine. Unbeknown to him a common household fly flew into the machine right before teleportation. Brundle emerges anew but the fly is nowhere to be seen. The horror begins as Brundle’s humanity falls away, literally. Goldblum’s transformation is a true wonder in make up and special effects. However, if you look past the make-up in “The Fly” there might be something else. The fear (of transformation/ infection) becomes all too real as Brundle’s girlfriend (Genna Davis) feels as if she may have something horrific inside her too. This remake of the 1958 classic is not for the weak of heart. Rest assured this is a night of true horror. (Bob Trate) More »
House of 1000 Corpses
Directed by Rob Zombie. 2003. R. Running time: 89 min.
Sponsored by Apartment 1014 Films
- Fri, May 7, 9:45 pm
“Picture this: the year is 1987 and you just walked into a West Coast Video on a Friday night with some friends looking for something unknown and crazy. Something that will simultaneously creep you out, disturb you, and make you wonder if the director was actually insane. House of 1000 Corpses is that movie. Made in the new millennium but more bizarre than anything that is in the modern horror canon. Equal parts horror, exploitation, and bizarre; the Colonial Theater presents, for you, Rob Zombie’s first film. In his veins flows the blood of horror from the silent 20s through the insane 80s. And he wants to bleed for you. Welcome to his nightmare.” (Apartment 1014 Films)
