PIG HUNT
- April 3 - 9

USA, 2008
James Isaac
101 minutes

PRODUCER IN ATTENDENCE ON FRIDAY FOR Q & A

When John takes his San Francisco friends to his deceased uncle's remote ranch to hunt wild pigs, it seems like a typical guys weekend with guns - despite the presence of John's sexy girlfriend Brooks. But as John and his crew trek deeper into the forest, they begin tracking the awful truth about his uncle's demise and the legend of The Ripper -- a murderous three-thousand-pound black boar! Their pursuit leads them through fields of marijuana and into the muddy landscape of Big Wallow, involving high-powered weaponry, the violent and unpredictable Tibbs Brothers, massacred emus, a machete-toting Hippie Stranger, vengeful rednecks, and throat-slitting Cult Girls who grow dope by day and worship a Giant Killer Pig by night.

CLASSIC CONCERTS: NEIL YOUNG
- April 10






Neil Young: BBC Television, 1971 and 1971 unreleased Dutch documentary

On February 23, 1971 (prior to his landmark Harvest LP release), Neil Young strolled into the television studios of the BBC to perform in front of a small studio audience in one of his finest early acoustic performances. Witness tear-jerking versions of “Man Needs a Maid” and “Needle and the Damage Done.”

Also, in 1971, legendary Dutch documentary filmmaker Wim van der Linden visited Neil on his ranch in California to produce a special for television. The resulting collection of interviews were combined with live footage from January 1971 at the American Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, Connecticut, and later broadcast on Danish TV. One of the most significant rare finds in the storied career of one of the world’s greatest folk troubadours.

HICKSPLOITATION DOUBLE FEATURE
- April 23







The Grindhouse Film Festival and Cinemapocalypse present a Hicksploitation Double Feature

GATOR BAIT

USA, 1974
Fred and Beverly Sebastian
88 minutes

Picture yourself on a state highway in the rural south in 1974. In the distance an apparition flickers on a drive-in screen. It’s a beautiful woman with long red hair and skin the color of mother’s milk. She lifts a 12-gauge to eye level and squeezes the trigger. It’s not a hallucination. It’s Claudia Jennings, a common sight on drive-in screens throughout the country in the 70’s and that rarest of things, a genuine female action star. The movie is GATOR BAIT, a huge hit that kept drive-in audiences coming back again and again. Like most movies that made it big on the chitlin’ circuit, GATOR BAIT really delivers. The story of a sexy swamp rat named Desiree who’s half woman and half savage, it features the scariest inbred hillbillies outside of the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and a revenge plot that builds to a thundering, foot-stomping climax.

PSYCHO FROM TEXAS
USA, 1981
Jim Feazell
94 minutes

Already a cult favorite among the most discriminating hicksploitation connoisseurs, this cheap, sleazy slice of lone-star low-life is finally poised to infect the rest of the country. All Texans are familiar with this film but the very mention of its title is oddly taboo. It's a little like the mentally deficient cousin with the weird ears who lives in the basement and eats bugs. We just don't talk about it. Well, maybe now's the time to start because there's a lot to love about this movie. The titular psycho, Wheeler, is one of the most memorable characters in regional filmdom. John King III deserved an Oscar for his performance as the mommy obsessed killer with the weird laugh and the unorthodox fried chicken eating technique.

PLAGUE TOWN
David Gregory

The film tells the tale of a dysfunctional family’s vacation to the Irish countryside that encounters a village of diseased, deformed and decidedly homicidal residents.

4/24 - 10PM

MURDER COLLECTION v.1
Directed by Fred Vogel, the film revives an early 1990’s Internet clip show, MURDER, which was notorious for streaming videos of actual killings. After gaining popularity, the infamous show was discovered by authorities and shut down forcing the host, Balan, into obscurity. Over more than a decade in the shadows, the obsessed host continued to search for scenes of brutality that provoke a maelstrom of emotion. Balan has recently emerged from the darkness and is eager to show you his collection.

4/24 - MIDNIGHT
BLACK DEVIL DOLL

Jonathan Lewis

A young, moist, buxom teen vixen finds herself hurled into an odyssey of forbidden sex and unspeakable violence after an innocent evening dabbling in the occult. What started as a simple child’s game has now become a fight for her life! What is this evil that she has summoned from beyond? And why does it have a fro? What kind of horrific acts will she be subjected to? And what price will her super-hot, half-nude friends have to pay? But more importantly, how much Caucasian blood will have to be shed to stop….the BLACK DEVIL DOLL?!!

4/25 - 8PM

INGLORIOUS BASTARDS
Whatever The Dirty Dozen did,” screamed the ads, “they do it dirtier!” Inglorious Bastards is more than just the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino’s long-rumored next movie; this 1978 international smash remains perhaps the biggest and most badass war movie in EuroCult history! Exploitation legends Fred ‘The Hammer’ Williamson and Bo (Walking Tall, Kill Bill) Svenson star as the leaders of a gang of condemned criminals who escape from an Allied prison camp with a plan to blast their way to the Swiss border, only to find themselves ‘volunteering’ for a suicide mission deep inside Nazi occupied France.

4/25 - 10PM

BAD BIOLOGY
Frank Henenlotter

Acclaimed director Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case, Brain Damage, Frankenhooker) is back with a twisted tale of love and weirdness. Driven by biological excess, a young man and woman search for sexual fulfillment, unaware of each other’s existence. Unfortunately, they eventually meet, and the bonding of these two very unusual human beings ends in an explosive and ultimately over-the-top sexual experience, resulting in a truly godawful love story…. With bizarre special effects by Gabe Bartalos, a hip-hop soundtrack from Prince Paul, and shot in glorious 35mm, BAD BIOLOGY is guaranteed to shock even the most desensitized of audiences, and sure to become a modern cult classic.

LIFE ON THE EDGE OF A BUBBLE
- May 11-14








USA, 2009
William Lewis
100 minutes

Life On The Edge of A Bubble challenges the prevailing view of the sudden, unforeseeable and unique nature of the crisis by bringing to light the unfamiliar historical pattern; in fact, each generation has found itself precariously perched on the edge of a bubble. While the media focuses on symptoms, this film addresses the root causes that politicians, lobbyists and corporate executives conveniently avoid. The pattern unfolds for the viewer in an entertaining and accessible blend of archival footage, historical vignettes, and snapshots of current events, revealing the story in a sometimes irreverent, often surprising manner.

LADY TERMINATOR

Indonesia, 1988
H. Tjut Djalil.
82 minutes

The infamous Indonesian action/horror mind blower.  A beautiful woman is possessed by an ancient mystical queen out for vengeance, turning her into an unstoppable killing machine!  She takes off on a rampage across Indonesia, gunning down anyone who gets in her way, and blowing apart half of the country.  She also sports a mean leather jacket...except when she's naked...which is a lot.  But for those foolish enough to try to put their hands on her, she also castrates men with an eel that lives in her vagina.  Bullet-riddled mayhem, disco shootouts, mind-boggling dialogue, a mullet-headed cop who drives a tank, and so much more.  All in full-throttle 80's excess!  This movie truly has to be seen to be believed.

SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE
USA, 1982
Amy Holden Jones
76 minutes

What more do you need to know?  A group of high school girls are throwing a slumber party.  They have seemingly endless reasons to take off their clothes, before a maniac with a fondness for a power drill shows up to ruin the party.  This is one of the best 80's slasher films, from an incredibly rare 35mm print!

RUDE BOY
- June 23-25




UK, 1980
 133 minutes

A semi-documentary, part character study, part 'rockumentary', featuring a British punk band,
The Clash
. The script includes the story of a fictional fan juxtposed with actual public events of the day, including political demonstrations and Clash concerts. Filmed over a period of years, the written dialog takes on the appearance of improvisation. The Clash is seen on camera at its peak and the film offers some rare opportunities to see the band in a more candid setting than on stage or in a planned interview. A must see for fans of punk rock.

Blast into the
July 4th weekend with Quentin Tarantino's breakthrough debut!

They were six strangers, assembled to pull off the perfect crime: Mr. White, a professional criminal; Mr. Orange, a young newcomer; Mr. Blonde, a trigger-happy killer; Mr. Pink, a paranoid neurotic; Mr. Brown; and Mr. Blue. Hired by mob boss Joe Cabot and given fake names so no one could identify the others, they thought there was no way their heist could have failed. But after a police ambush, killing Mr. Brown and seriously injuring Mr. Orange, the criminals return to their rendezvous point (a warehouse), and realize that one of them had to have been a police informant. But who?
