No performances are currently available.
The Children
8pm
When a school bus detours past a leaky nuclear-power plant, the pre-teen passengers transform into homicidal zombies with black fingernails. The children use their newly discovered nuclear powers to fry adults by hugging them to death! The ghoulish kid actors steal the movie; their hokey performances magnify the horror. You might find yourself rooting for the evil tweens as they stalk their obnoxious parents. Director Max Kalmanowicz invokes Village of the Damned and Night of the Living Dead, while delicately balancing genuine terror with satiric edge. The low-budget creep fest features a haunting score by Henry Manfredini, who replicated the music for the soundtrack to Friday the 13th that same year.
Director: Max Kalmanowicz. 93 min. 1980. 35mm.
Don't Go to Sleep
10pm
Aaron Spelling's notorious made-for-TV movie pulls out all the stops: tweens in straight-jackets; killer pizza-cutters; death by a pet lizard; and a hysterical Valerie Harper. Harper's 12-year-old daughter Mary has been acting strange ever since the mysterious death of her beloved older sister. One by one, Mary's family members meet the most gruesome ends imaginable. The perky murderess is played to perfection by Robin Ignico (runner-up for the lead in the film version of Annie). The movie co-stars Ruth Gordon, Dennis Weaver and Oliver Robins (the kid from Poltergeist). See why Kindertrauma website called it "Highly engrossing, admittedly campy, indisputable creepy and nearly impossible to shake."
Director: Richard Lang. 93 min. 1982. Digital projection.
