Cultastrophe

Overview

What’s better than one schlocky late night cult movies? Two schlocky late night cult movies. That’s what the folks at Cinema Nova think anyway, doubling down on their Friday night cultastrophe stream with a kick-ass new program of double features tailored to hot Melbourne evenings.

The summer selection begins this Friday, December 6, with a Whovian double bill of Dr. Who & The Daleks and Dalek’s Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. That’ll be washed down the following week with a Christmas themed screening of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. How festive.

Things take a break for the New Year before returning in full force on January 17, with the blood-soaked pairing of Cannibal Apocalypse and Evil Dead 2. Continuing through January all the way until the end of summer, other highlights of the program include a Queen-scored '80s throwback that combines Flash Gordon with Highlander, and a John Carpenter double feature of Prince of Darkness and Escape from New York.
