Overview

Cinema Nova’s late night film stream is back for another season of strange and unsettling cinematic sideshows. Screening after sundown on select Friday nights, the Cultastrophe program will once again showcase a selection of spine-chilling horror flicks and themed double bills.

The season begins on Friday May 8 with The City of Lost Children, a Lynchian sci-fi fairy tale from Amelie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Even creepier is occult thriller The Wicker Man (the '70s original, not the unintentionally hilarious Nicholas Cage remake), which screens in a double feature with the little-seen body horror film The Manitou.

The program takes a break from horror at the end of May, for a pair of musically-infused coming-of-age films in Empire Records and Pump Up the Volume, before closing with a mechanical roar on June 26 with the quintessential slasher film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Cultastrophe takes place on select Friday nights, although precise start times vary. For more information visit the Cinema Nova website.
