**Screenwriter/ Producer**: James Bond III

One of the best films to be released on Troma&#8217;s label, James Bond III&#8217;s *Def by Temptation* is a smart, slick, and stylish tale of faith, temptation, and demons! Joel grew up in the church but has recently started questioning his beliefs. After sensing a supernatural presence from his deceased father, Joel becomes compelled to visit his cousin in New York. But shortly after arriving, they become embroiled in a series of mysterious homicides of local men, all of whom were last seen in the company of a mysterious and beautiful woman. Beautifully photographed by Ernest Dickerson and starring Kadeem Hardison and Samuel L. Jackson, this sole directorial effort from child actor James Bond III is a macabre, neon-tinged portrait of late 1980s Brooklyn. The movie blends supernatural horror and religious mysticism, punctuated by an electrifying hip hop and R&B soundtrack. Newly restored from the original 35mm camera negative!

Duane Jones as the lead was also a big deal for the time, and he’s terrific. • Show begins with spooky music on the Mighty Wurlitzer and an old fashioned sing-along.

A Secret WINGS HAUSER Horror Movie, pres. by High Tower Video

A.S. Hamrah and Hollywood Entertainment proudly present Stuart Gordon's final masterwork: *Stuck* featuring an exclusive pre-recorded virtual Q&A with star Mena Suvari and an in-person introduction by Gordon's daughter, Suzanna Gordon.

"Stuart Gordon’s *Stuck* is perhaps the most disturbing film of its era, which is that period in the George W. Bush years just before the economy collapsed. More than disturbing, in fact it is an alarming portrait of American citizens at the end of their collective rope, behaving in ways that are callous, uncivilized, and completely lacking in concern for other people. A chilling portrait of its time from a master filmmaker, once seen it is not to be forgotten." - A.S. Hamrah

Written by EZTV and *Dark Romances* alum John Strysik, **Stuck** tells the story of Brandi (Suvari), a compassionate hospice nurse who hits Tom (Stephen Rea), an unhoused man, with her car, lodging him in the windshield. Rather than seek help, she drives home, parks in her garage, and goes about her life and work as usual in the following days... What follows is a darkly comic, insightful, and unsettling descent into the darkness of human denial. Stuck is an inspired-by-a-true-story nightmarish descent into waking hell that demonstrates the incredible talents of Stuart Gordon - best known for supernatural horror and sci-fi classics like *Re-Animator* and *From Beyond* - when turned to the twisted sociopolitical milieu of the real world.

The Crow (1994)

Fresh out of prison, Hong Jong-du (Sul Kyung-gu) finds an unlikely soulmate in Gong-ju (Moon So-ri), the daughter of the victim of the hit-and-run accident for which he went to jail. Wheelchair-bound and suffering from severe cerebral palsy, Gong-ju is kept cloistered in a cheap apartment by her brother, whose only concern is the government assistance she receives. Over a series of clandestine meetings, the two begin an improbable relationship that defies the judgment and cruelty of the world around them.

Winner of the Silver Lion for Best Director and Best Young Actress at the Venice Film Festival, Lee Chang-dong's OASIS is a “brave film” that “shows two people who find any relationship almost impossible, and yet find a way to make theirs work” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times).

Clint Howard goes all in as a nebbish military school cadet who uses an Apple II with 4K of RAM, a skull-smashing broadsword and a horde of bloodthirsty devil pigs to exact revenge! Horror movies about teens with supernatural powers are nothing new, but EVILSPEAK adds the juicy novelty of WARGAMES-era home computing into the mix.

**Vidiots, [The Cinegogue](https://thecinegogue.com), **and**[ A Bunch of Savages](https://www.abunchofsavages.com/about)** are thrilled to present an ultra-rare screening of Lino Brocka&#8217;s masterful melodrama ***Insiang***.

Jealousy and violence take center stage in this claustrophobic melo­drama, a tautly constructed character study set in the slums of Manila from Filipino master Lino Brocka. Brocka crafts an eviscerating portrait of an innocent daughter and her bitter mother as women scorned. Insiang leads a quiet life dominated by household duties, but after she is assaulted by her mother’s lover and abandoned by the young man who claims to care for her, she exacts vicious revenge. A savage commentary on the degradations of urban poverty, especially for women, *Insiang *was the first Filipino film ever to play at Cannes.

**A Bunch of Savages** is a creative collective in Los Angeles, California. We are unapologetically Filipino-American with a knack for premium multifaceted storytelling in the arts. Toss your KPIs out the window because we have one bonafide intention &#8211; To do cool sh*t that matters.

If anyone asks, we’re a collective of dreamers, filmmakers, writers, and creatives with a commitment to empowering the next generation of artists. Our name comes from a phrase used to describe the Filipinos in 1899 by then Gov. Theodore Roosevelt.

**The** **Cinegogue** is a community-driven organization dedicated to increasing interest in film. We make clothes, throw parties, host screenings, and produce films. Our goal: make movies cool again through concert-like experiences and fanfare. We’re a group of friends who wish to extend our love for cinema beyond the 2 hour runtimes in which these movies exist. Because even though a movie might end, cinema is forever.

He and his trusty assistant Iggy (Leslie Jordan) steal body parts from the hospital’s autopsy room and Tuchman Terminated Teenagers Mortuary to create their monster (Irwin Keyes).

This extremely 80s take on the Mary Shelley classic carries the spirit of *Young Frankenstein* while emulating the non-stop joke styles of *The Naked Gun* and *Police Academy*. Led by Mark Blankfield (*Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Jekyll and Hyde... Together Again*) with standout performances by legends Jordan and Keyes, the cast also features recognizable faces like Ben Stein, Lou Cutell (Amazing Larry in *Pee-wee’s Big Adventure*), and 1986 Playmate of the Year Kathy Shower.

38 years before *The Bride!,* there was another woman-directed Frankenstein movie released from the lab... don't miss your chance to get admitted!

Two down on their luck jazz musicians find themselves out of a job and on the run after the police raid the speakeasy they perform in and they inadvertently stumble upon a gang war. With no money and nowhere to hide, a gig with Sweet Sue and her Society Syncopators at a Florida beach resort seems like the perfect getaway. There’s just one problem: the Syncopators are an all-female band, and Joe and Jerry aren’t women - yet.

Armed with some dodgy wigs and wobbly falsettos, Joe and Jerry manage to join the Syncopators, where they meet Sugar Kane: a hooch-swilling, ukulele-playing knockout with a soft spot for badboy saxophone players. Barely able to believe their good fortune, things start to go off the rails for the pair when they begin to attract unwanted attention from lecherous millionaires and some familiar faces show up at their hotel for a gathering of the country’s most dangerous criminals.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Shocking, outrageous and poetic, *JIGOKU* (HELL, a.k.a. *THE SINNERS OF HELL*) is the most innovative creation from Nobuo Nakagawa, the father of the Japanese horror film. After a young theology student flees a hit-and-run accident, he is plagued by both his own guilt-ridden conscience and a mysterious, diabolical doppelgänger. But all possible escape routes lead straight to hell—literally. In the gloriously gory final third of the film, Nakagawa offers up his vision of the underworld in a tour de force of torture and degradation. A striking departure from traditional Japanese ghost stories, JIGOKU, with its truly eye-popping (and -gouging) imagery, created aftershocks that are still reverberating in contemporary world horror cinema.

The Others / The Orphanage

One of the most singular horror films of the ’70s—a hypnotic, haunting descent into unstable reality, creeping dread, and the supernatural.

LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH (1971) — A Classic of Supernatural Madness!

**Screenwriters**: Dario Argento, Bernardino Zapponi

**Producer**: Salvatore Argento

Get on your boogie shoes and join us for a night of sick tunes and even sicker horror when we crank up the Italo-Disco and slaughter the big screen with Dario Argento&#8217;s gore-giously demented masterpiece *Deep Red*. With **DJ Sindri** bumpin&#8217; Italo-Disco tunes before and after the screening/screaming!

Anticipating the eerie magic of *Suspiria, Deep Red* finds Dario Argento and creative partner Daria Nicolodi presenting a simple, Christmas-set slasher. At least, that’s what it appears to be. But within two minutes, it’s obvious that there’s nothing “simple” about* Deep Red* at all. With this movie, Argento perfected the classy, ultra-violent sub-genre that would come to be known as giallo—and also perfected playing audiences like a fiddle. This includes Goblin’s soundtrack, which is a spook-a-delic prog-rock masterpiece that beautifully complements the movie’s dreamy mood.

Italo-Disco Horror Night – Argento’s Deep Red

Castle of The Living Dead

Road to Perdition in 35mm

A young woman left her family for an unspecified reason. The husband determines to find out the truth and starts following his wife. At first, he suspects that a man is involved. But gradually, he finds out more and more strange behaviors and bizarre incidents that indicate something more than a possessed love affair.

Possession

Yongho (Sul Kyung-gu) stares down an oncoming train as twenty years of his life flash before his eyes. Proceeding to move backward in time, Lee’ Chang-dong's acclaimed second directorial feature rewinds the protagonist's loss of humanity - from his fraught, self-hating middle age through his callow teens. The moments in between these events, as seen through the lens of Yongho’s oppressive struggles, mirror South Korea’s traumatic political history during the late 20th century.

An official selection of the Directors' Fortnight selection in Cannes and winner of the Special Prize of the Jury at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, PEPPERMINT CANDY is a powerful work of Korean New Wave cinema that elegizes a generation of marginalized people with “quiet, heartbreaking power” (The New York Times). Presented in a new 4K restoration.

Peppermint Candy

When her husband passes away in an automobile accident, Shin-ae relocates down south to her late husband’s hometown of Miryang. Despite her efforts to settle down, in this unfamiliar and much too normal place, she finds that she can’t quite fit in. Helping her out is Kim Jong-chan, a good-intentioned but bothersome bachelor, who owns a car repair shop. Life plods on. However, fate takes a vicious turn when Shin-ae loses her son in the most horrific way a mother could imagine. She turns to Christianity to relieve the pain in her heart, but when even this is not permitted, she wages a war against God.

Secret Sunshine

Kind-hearted Mija (Yun Jung-hee) is tasked with raising her troubled teenage grandson, Jong-wook, while her daughter works in far-off Busan. In denial that her abilities as a caregiver are threatened by the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, Mija begins to study poetry writing at the local cultural center. At first she finds inspiration in the beauty of the natural world, but then, when Jong-wook is mired in a shocking scandal, Mija taps into newfound depths of disappointment and pain.

Winner of the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury and Best Screenplay at Cannes, Lee Chang-dong's POETRY is a “tour de force” that presents an “extraordinary vision of human empathy” (The New York Times). Presented in a new 4K restoration.

Decision to Leave (헤어질 결심) with Park Hae-il

Brain Dead Studios presents O.V.A. Night, a surprise screening of obscure anime rarely seen on the big screen.

O.V.A. (Original Video Animation) emerged in Japan during the home video boom of the 1980s. Released directly to home video, OVAs gave animators the freedom to work outside the usual restrictions of television and theatrical releases, opening the door to stranger stories, bigger ideas, and imagery that could never have made it onto TV. The result was some of the most ambitious, violent, experimental, and downright bizarre anime of the era.

Many of these titles have never been properly restored or given a theatrical release, and we think they deserve to be played big, played loud, and seen with a crowd.

O.V.A. Night

Followed by a conversation with director **Dave Green**, voice actor **Eric Bauza**, and producer **Chris DeFaria**

The midcentury modern aesthetic of Chuck Jones's streamlined Roadrunner cartoons (b. 1949) is fruitfully transported to a 21st century context of rampant legalism and corporate hegemony. Taking off from a clever 1990 *New Yorker* piece by Ian Frazier, director Dave Green (*Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows*) executes the most satisfying blend of live action and animation since Robert Zemeckis’s 1988 *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*.

The pristine desert landscapes of the cartoons have given way to a dingy, cluttered southwestern strip mall culture. Once an incurable techno-optimist, Jones’s Wile E. Coyote has finally grown disillusioned with the utopian promises of the Acme Corporation. Enlisting the aid of a personal injury lawyer (Will Forte), he files a product liability complaint that threatens to expose massive corporate malfeasance. The screenplay, by the versatile Samy Burch (*May December*, *Late Fame*) introduces some nicely understated pathos as Wile E., the ultimate lone wolf, discovers the pleasures of friendship. The animation was directed by Keith Roberts; Eric Bauza voices Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, and Foghorn Leghorn. Completed in 2023 and shelved by Warner Bros., the film reached theaters in 2026 through Ketchup Entertainment. 

2026. USA. Directed by Dave Green. Screenplay by Samy Burch, James Gunn, Jeremy Slater. With Will Forte, Lana Condor, John Cena. DCP courtesy Ketchup Entertainment. 103 min.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Ever since she was a baby and her birth mother took her own life, Avital Ash has felt summoned to the other side. But she’d hate to be called a copycat, plus, who wants to turn into their mother? Ash’s critically acclaimed solo show was filmed live at The Elysian Theater in Los Angeles and explores depression, growing up an Orthodox Jew, queer identity and generational Holocaust trauma, all while being hilarious. The results are an irreverent show where Avital expertly bounces from black humor to jokes so stupid you almost miss the gospel in them.

### **ABOUT THE FILMS:**

**“Joachim’s Dictionary,” 1965, Dir. Walerian Borowczyk, 9 Mins, France**

Based on a sparse, singular design by Laurence Demaria (Ligia Borowczyk), Joachim defines twenty six words each beginning with a different letter from the alphabet. As with “Grandma’s Encyclopedia,” Borowczyk offers a succession of visual definitions which suggest a doomed attempt at mastering the absurdities of the world. Frequently hilarious, Joachim’s Dictionary is Borowczyk at his most anarchic.

**THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MISS OSBOURNE, 1981, Dir. Walerian Borowczyk, 92 Mins, AGFA, France**

It’s the engagement party for brilliant young Dr. Henry Jekyll (Udo Kier, SUSPIRIA) and his fiancée, the beautiful Fanny Osbourne (Marina Pierro). The party is attended by various pillars of Victorian society, including Patrick Magee (A CLOCKWORK ORANGE) in one of his final roles. When people are found assaulted and murdered on the manor grounds, it becomes clear that a maniac is disrupting the festivities. But who is he? And why does Jekyll keep sneaking off to his laboratory? This visually stunning adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous story by surrealist icon Walerian Borowcyzk (THE BEAST) is crammed with imaginative and perverse touches.
