Cultastrophe Triple Features
Cinema Nova is giving you three gritty, disgusting and great classics for the price of one.
Overview
Friday nights in Carlton are getting just that little bit stranger, thanks to an array of upcoming cult films on tap at Cinema Nova. Moving to the last week of every month, the latest edition of the Cultastrophe program offers not one, not two, but three stubs for the price of one, with the films growing increasingly twisted as the night goes on.
The rebooted line-up begins in September with a tribute to the scripts of Tarantino. Written before QT began work on Reservoir Dogs, both Tony Scott's True Romance and Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers feature Tarantino's signature pop culture-infused dialogue. Fittingly enough, the final film on the bill is Sony Chiba's The Street Fighter, which is heavily referenced in True Romance.
Critters, Deadly Friend and In The Mouth of Madness should make for appropriately monstrous viewing on Halloween, while December will feature a trio of Christmas-themed films in Gremlins, Gremlins 2 and Twilight Zone: The Movie. The November slot will be run in partnership with Monsterfest, and has so far been kept under wraps. Our guess? Something bloody.
