The only unpredictable element in his life is his girlfriend, Liz, who wishes desperately for Shaun to grow up and be a man. When the town is inexplicably overrun with zombies, Shaun must rise to the occasion and protect both Liz and his mother. Critics Consensus: Shaun of the Dead cleverly balances scares and witty satire, making for a bloody good zombie movie with loads of wit. 92% RT rating! (2004, R,  1h 37m)

The Masque of the Red Death

FREE Screening Tuesday, October 29th at 7:30pm!

Directed by the iconic B-filmmaker Roger Corman and starring Vincent Price, the story follows a prince who terrorizes a plague-ridden peasantry while merrymaking in a lonely castle with his jaded courtiers. The screenplay, written by Charles Beaumont and R. Wright Campbell, was based upon the 1842 short story of the same name by American author Edgar Allan Poe, and incorporates a subplot based on another Poe tale, “Hop-Frog”. Another subplot is drawn from Torture by Hope by Auguste Villiers de l’Isle-Adam. (1964, 1h 30m)

“The film is vulgar, naïve, and highly amusing, and it is played with gusto by Mr. Price, Hazel Court and Jane Asher…on its level, it is astonishingly good.” – Eugene Archer, New York Times (1964 review)

“Unquestionably Roger Corman’s best film to date…” – The Monthly Film Bulletin (1964)

Nosferatu with Radiohead

Encore Screening Saturday, October 26th at 7:30pm!

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with specially selected rock music soundtracks for a big-screen experience created especially for independent cinemas. For their first presentation, Silents Synced has brought together F.W. Murnau’s expressionist horror classic Nosferatu with the (already thematically linked) Radiohead albums Kid A and Amnesiac. One of the silent era’s most influential  masterpieces, Nosferatu‘s eerie, gothic feel — and a chilling performance from Max Schreck as the vampire — set the template for the horror films that followed. Get ready to experience something unique! (1922, 90m)
