KILL LIST
Join us for a screening of Ben Wheatley's devilish fusion of black-hearted noir and folk horror excess!
Eight months after a disastrous hit job leaves him physically and mentally scarred, Jay (Neil Maskell) is pressured by his partner and best friend Gal (Michael Smiley) into taking a lucrative three-part assignment: kill a priest, a librarian, and finally a member of Parliament. As the two men—one a volatile hothead, the other a careful professional—carry out their work with shocking brutality, Jay’s world begins to unravel until paranoia and unexplainable visions send him plunging into the heart of darkness.
KILL LIST is a mind-blowing genre concoction that captivates in its rawness.

BRAIN DAMAGE
Join us for a screening of Frank Henenlotter's unbelievable horror-comedy of addiction and alien possession in New York City!
Meet Elmer. He's your friendly neighborhood parasite with the ability to induce euphoric hallucinations in his hosts. But these LSD-like trips come with a hefty price tag: when young Brian (Rick Hearst) comes under Elmer's addictive spell, it's not long before he finds himself scouring the city streets in search of his parasite friend's preferred food source - brains! Featuring late TV horror host John Zacherle as the voice of Elmer, BRAIN DAMAGE boasts some of the most astonishing gore gags ever realized.
