2010 FEATURE FILMS
OZPLOITATION
DOUBLE FEATURE!
2 Rare 35mm Prints
Friday June 11th, 2010
Doors at 7:30 / Films at 8:00pm
$10 at the door
Road Games
1981 / Australia / Dir: Richard
Franklin / 35mm
Stacy Keach is Pat Quid, a lone
trucker who plays games to keep his sanity on longhauls through the
desolate Outback. Jamie Lee Curtis is a free-spirited hitchhiker
looking for excitement with a game of her own. And somewhere up ahead
is a maniac in a van whose game may be butchering young women along the
highway.
Director Richard Franklin (Psycho II,
Link) packs plenty of Hitchcock-like twists and suspense into this sly
shocker that was nominated for four Australian Film Institute Awards
and remains one of the most surprising thrillers of the '80s.
(Synopsis courtesy of Anchor Bay)
Patrick
1978 / Australia / Dir: Richard
Franklin / 35mm
After violently murdering his mother
and her lover, Patrick (Robert Thompson) lays comatose in a private
hospital. When a pretty young nurse (Susan Penhaligon) begins working
at the hospital, Patrick tries communicating with her, while others in
her life are being hurt and killed in mysterious ways. (Synopsis

Nobuhiko Obayahshi’s HOUSE [HAUSU]
(Japan, 1977, 87 minutes, Japanese
with English subtitles, 35mm)
June 5, 2010 7 PM
$8 general admission

How to describe Nobuhiko Obayahshi’s
1977 movie House? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A
stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby Doo as
directed by Dario Argento? Any of the above will do for this
hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six
classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home, only to come face
to face with evil spirits, bloodthirsty pianos, and a demonic housecat.
Too absurd to be genuinely terrifying, yet too nightmarish to be merely
comic, House seems like it was beamed to Earth from another planet. Or
perhaps the mind of a child: the director fashioned the script after
the eccentric musings of his eleven-year-old daughter, then employed
all the tricks in his analog arsenal (mattes, animation, and collage)
to make them a visually astonishing, raucous reality. Never before
released in the United States, and a bona fide cult classic in the
making, House is one of the most exciting genre discoveries in years.

"Keep Your Eyes on the Skies!"
Two films by Tobe Hooper
$10 / Doors at 7:30 Show at
8:00pm
Lifeforce
1985 / Tobe Hooper / 35mm
Coming off the success of Poltergeist,
Tobe Hooper turned his attention to this science-fiction film based on
the novel The Space Vampires by Colin Wilson and with a screenplay by
Dan O'Bannon (RIP) that is fondly remembered as the film in which
Mathilda May walks around naked for two hours while literally sucking
the life out of people!
Invaders From Mars
1986 / Tobe Hooper / 35mm
Tobe Hooper's remake of the classic
1950s Cold War science-fiction film finds a young boy trying to stop
invading martians from overtaking his town.
International House / 3701 Chestnut St
/ Philadelphia, PA
Friday March 5th, 2010
"One Dark Night of the Zombies!"
Doors at 7:30 / Films at 8:00pm
$10 at the door
Our first feature:
ONE DARK NIGHT
1983 / USA / Dir: Tom McLaughlin / 35mm
A young girl's initiation into a
sorority-like group of teens involves her being able to spend the night
in a creepy mausoleum. How could she know that it would contain
the body of Raymar, an undead psychic who uses telekinesis to reanimate
corpses to do his evil bidding? Directed by Tom McLoughlin, who
would go on to direct the very entertaining Friday the 13th Part VI:
Jason Lives, One Dark Night is spooky, silly fun--shown on a pristine
35mm print. Starring Meg Tilly (!) and Adam West (!!)
Followed by:
NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES
1980 / Italy / Dir: Bruno Mattei / 35mm
This is the one you've been waiting
for! Screened only once by Exhumed Films in 1999, this infamous
zombie "classic" has finally been unearthed from our vaults.
Night of the Zombies (aka Virus, Hell of the Living Dead) tells a
familiar tale: an accident involving experimental chemicals has
unleashed a plague that turns the bodies of the recently deceased into
cannibalistic monsters. A tv reporter joins up with a team of
special forces commandos to investigate and eventually battle the
armies of the undead. A total shameless rip-off of both George
Romero's Dawn of the Dead (right down to the plagiarized Goblin
soundtrack!) and Fulci's Zombie, but filled with enough
ridiculous gore to make us forgive its faults. Almost.

Two much-loved though rarely-seen '70s television horror productions
(neither of which have ever officially been released to tape or disc)
will be screened from complete 16mm prints along with a host of
trailers and a rare mystery short. The Sedgwick Theatre was a gorgeous,
huge 1920s Art Deco movie/vaudville palace. Now it's semi-dilapated but
on the rise. The theatre, through the hard work of Flickering Films, is
now host to a series of cultural events, many centered around film and
video. Exhumed Films is happy to be working with them and hopes that
the future will bring more of our screenings at the Sedgwick. It's our
intention to show some of our rarest, most obscure prints at this
venue. Join your pals at Exhumed Films and support the DIY, grassroots
efforts of Flickering Films.
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (Directed by John
Newland, US, 1973, 73 minutes, 16mm) - Commonly remembered as
"that movie with the trolls that live in the walls of an old house that
try to kill the woman the lives there," Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
stands as not only one of the creepiest movies of the 70s, but as the
the creepiest TV movie of the week ever! Kim Darby plays a young wife
who, after discovering the fireplace in the creepy old study of her
house bricked up, unleashes a colony of troll-like creatures that
terrify her to the point of hysteria. Unavailable on home video for the
past 25 years, this obscure gem is still as good as you remember from
that late night ABC TV viewing. If you haven't seen it, you're bound to
find a new favorite.
Bad Ronald (Directed by Buzz Kulik, US, 1974, 74
minutes, 16mm) - Ronald is a spaced-out bug of a boy who lives
in his own fantasy world and murders a young girl in his neighborhood.
His mother promptly hides him a away in a secret room of their house,
but when she croaks, Ronald stays. A new family movies in and finds
their home haunted not by a ghost, but by our boy Bad-ass Ronald.
Televised mayhem ensues. For a film that's never seen release on video,
Bad Ronald is burned into the memory of those who managed to see it and
has taunted others by remaining just out of reach. Come join us for a
night with this very special fellow and see what his twisted freakazoid
mind gets up to....

"Acid and Evisceration: Jeff Lieberman
Double Feature"
Blue Sunshine
Directed by Jeff Lieberman/US/1976/90 minutes/16mm
This classic cult horror film, from acclaimed writer/director Jeff
Lieberman, is a masterpiece of psychological suspense and terror. At a
party, someone goes insane and murders three women. Falsely accused of
the brutal killings, Jerry (Red Shoe Diaries' Zalman King) is on the
run. More bizarre killings continue with alarming frequency all over
town. Trying to clear his name, Jerry discovers the shocking truth -
people are losing their hair and turning into violent psychopaths and
the connection may be some LSD all the murderers took a decade before.
Soon, if Jerry can't stop it, the horror will become uncontrollable --
the horror caused by Blue Sunshine!
Just Before Dawn
Directed by Jeff Lieberman/US/1981/99 minutes/16mm
Five youths set out for a weekend camping excursion, to drink, frolic
and skinny-dip on an isolated piece of land one of them has inherited.
Despite ominous warnings of local forest rangers, strange backwoods
families and a hollering drunken hunter claiming to have witnessed his
friends evisceration by the hands of "demons", they trek farther into
the foliage. Beautifully shot, extremely eerie, featuring the most
demented murderer since Jason Voorhees, and a horrifying twist that
will make you wonder: Will any of them survive those dark hours just
before dawn? Presented here in a very rare longer print with more
footage than any video release of the film.
Friday, July 10, 2009 8 PM $10

whole new meaning for Vietnam vet Norman Hopper (John Saxon, Enter the
Dragon and Black Christmas), whose quiet domestic life in Atlanta is
shattered by the return of Charlie Bukowski, a combat buddy who dredges
up terrifying flashbacks of flesh eating and bloodshed in the war-torn
jungles. Now on the run from the law, Charlie begs Norman to help him
get out of town with another fellow veteran, Tom (Tony King, Shaft).
Soon the ragtag team of cannibals are fighting for their lives,
spreading a deadly contagion through the city before heading into the
sewers for a gut-wrenching climax you won't soon forget! .
Terror-Creatures from the Grave aka Cinque tombe per un medium
Directed by Massimo Pupillo/Italy/1965/85 minutes/35mm

occupants of the castle begin to die off in gruesome, violent ways.
Starring Barbara Steele.
Friday April 10th Exhumed Presents a double feature of Evil Spirits Run Amok!
$10 - Doors at 7:30 Show at 8:00pm
EVIL DEAD 2
Let’s be frank: Exhumed Films has shown this movie more frequently than any other film in our 11 years of existence, to the point that we’re all sick of it. But despite how many times we’ve screened it, we are constantly bombarded by e-mail requests from audience members wishing to see it again. So every few years we dust it off to show that we’re not total snobs, deaf to the demands of our patrons. The plot of Evil Dead 2 concerns a small group of people alone in the woods who battle Sumerian demons intent on possessing the living. That’s about all you need to know for plot—and realistically, if you haven’t seen this movie 42 times by now, an Exhumed Films show is probably not the place for you.
Dir. Sam Raimi \ USA \ 1987 \ 35 mm \ 85 minutes \ Color
THE ASPHYX
One of the perks of showing Evil Dead 2 ad nauseam is that we’re able to pair it with lesser-seen horror films that are worthy of re-discovery; our second feature is one such film. The Asphyx is a creepy, intelligent horror film about the search for immortality, and its unfortunate consequences. A turn-of-the-century scientist notices that photographs of his dying patients all contain an image of some mysterious apparition. He then begins to suspect that this may be the mythological spirit of death called the asphyx, and becomes obsessed with the notion that capturing this spirit might result in immortality. As can be expected, this quest takes a noticeable turn for the worse. Even if you’re tired of Evil Dead 2, The Asphyx is well worth the price of admission.
Dir. Peter Newbrook \ UK \ 1973 \ 16mm \ 83 minutes \ Color
Friday February 6th: Exhumed Films presents a Dario Argento Double Feature!
$10 - Doors at 7:30 Show at 8:00pm
CREEPERS
Dario Argento’s supernatural thriller Creepers features Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Connelly in her first starring theatrical role (one year before her appearance in Jim Henson’s Labyrinth made her semi-famous). A young girl, with an amazing ability to communicate with insects (!), is transferred to an exclusive Swiss boarding school, where her unusual capability might help solve a string of murders. Also starring genre favorite Donald Pleasance.
Dir. Dario Argento \ Italy \ 1985 \ 35mm \ 82 minutes \ Color
TWO EVIL EYES
When Italian horror master Dario Argento teamed up with famed American director George Romero (creator of Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead) to produce an anthology horror film, genre fans were thrilled with the prospect of Romero’s penchant for blood and gore combining with Argento’s surreal, flamboyant visual style. Surprisingly, the final product, Two Evil Eyes, is perhaps more subdued a film than one might expect, though it is still a fascinating project. Romero and Argento each direct a short film based (however loosely) on the works of Edgar Allen Poe: Romero deals with a different sort of “undead” with his adaptation of Poe’s “M. Valdemar,” while Argento’s update of “The Black Cat” features some unique twists on the original. Stars Harvey Keitel, Adrienne Barbeau, and E.G. Marshall.

KNIGHTRIDERS
Following the phenomenal success
of his living dead classic Dawn of the Dead, horror icon George
A. Romero took a break from zombies and monsters to create Knightriders,
an odd fantasy/fable about a group of bikers/performers that tries
to recapture the glory and nobility of medieval knights by performing
at "Renaissance Faires" and jousting on Harleys instead of horses. The
troupe must contend with the challenge of maintaining the purity of
their idyllic "kingdom" while being tempted by the contemporary lures
of wealth and celebrity. Though it may sound bizarre, Knightriders
has a great deal of heart and is one of Romero's most personal films.
Starring Ed Harris (in his first major role) and genre favorite Tom
Savini.
Dir. George Romero \ US \ 1981 \
35mm \ 145 min. \ Color
1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS
The Italian film industry of the
1980s apparently didn't have much faith in the future of American
society. In the wake of dystopic sci-fi classics like John Carpenter's Escape
from New York and George Miller's Mad Max came a new
subgenre of Italian action films set in a post apocalyptic United
States, most with remarkably derivative titles: After the Fall of
New York, Escape from the Bronx, 2020: Texas Gladiators, etc.
Exhumed Films is "proud" to present one of the most infamous movies of
the genre, 1990: The Bronx Warriors. In the distant future
of...well...1990..., Trash (Mark Gregory) leads a gang of big haired,
spandexed bikers called The Riders, who fight for their turf in the
lawless streets of a ravaged New York City. But when Trash falls
in with a wealthy runaway with ties to a corporate fortune, he
encounters the ruthless mercenary Hammer (Vic Morrow, wielding a mean
flame thrower) who has been sent into The Bronx to reclaim the missing
heiress. Full of violence and absurdity, 1990: The Bronx Warriors is
sure to entertain. Also featuring Fred Willamson and Italian horror
stalwart George Eastman.
Dir. Enzo Castellari \ Italy \
1982 \ 35mm \ 89 min. \ Color
MARCH 7: Exhumed Films says DON'T miss this double feature!
Doors at 7:30 / Show at 8:00pm $10
DON'T OPEN THE WINDOW
The first of many European zombie
films inspired by George Romero's Night of the Living Dead,
Jorge Grau's stylish living dead chiller has the distinction of being
quite possibly the most frequently re-titled film in cinema history!
Better known under the name Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (or Breakfast
at the Manchester Morgue, or Living Dead at Manchester Morgue,
or.....) Don't Open the Window centers on two young people in
the English countryside who discover that a local farmer's attempt to
use radiation as a form of insect control has accidentally resurrected
the recently deceased. Yet stubborn police detective Arthur Kennedy
suspects that the spate of murders and cannibalism cropping up in the
area are not supernatural in nature, but rather ritualistic killings
performed by our hippie-ish leading man.
Dir. Jorge Grau \ Spain &
Italy \ 1974 \ 35mm \ 85 min. \ Color
DON'T GO IN THE HOUSE
A grim, unpleasant slasher film
that is definitely not for the feint of heart or easily offended: a
victim of child abuse (Dan Grimaldi) grows up to become a maniacal
construction worker. He stalks women at discos, takes them home, then
hangs them upside-down in a special steel-walled room and sets them on
fire. Quentin Tarrantino cites this movie as one of the most disturbing
films he's ever seen--and this is coming from the guy responsible for
that scene with the ear and the straight razor...
Dir. Joseph Ellison \ US \ 1980 \ 35mm \ 82 min. \ Color
FEBRUARY 1: Exhumed Films Presents a Giallo Double Feature!
Doors at 7:30 / Show at 8:00pm $10
TENEBRE
After dipping into the world of
supernatural horror with Suspiria and Inferno,
renowned Italian director Dario Argento returned to the giallo subgenre
that made him famous. Tenebre follows a writer who arrives in
Rome only to find somebody is using his novels as the inspiration for a
series of grisly murders. As the death toll mounts the police are ever
baffled, and the writer becomes more closely linked to the case than is
comfortable. Arguably one of Argento's finest films (and one that is
rarely screened in the United States), Tenebre is not to be
missed.
Dir. Dario Argento \ Italy \ 1982
\ 35mm \ 101 min. \ Color
TORSO
Directed by the infamous Sergio
Martino (Slave of the Cannibal God, Screamers), Torso
is an underrated giallo about an American exchange student in Rome who,
along with her friends, is stalked by a mysterious killer. His modus
operandi? Strangling women with his red scarf. The violence on screen
is sometimes subdued, sometimes brutal, but always terrifying.
Dir. Sergio Martino \ Italy \

Exhumed Films presents a John Carpenter triple feature!
THE THING
Arguably Carpenter's greatest film (the only other real challenger being Halloween), The Thing is a remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic in name only.
A group of scientists stationed at an Antarctic research facility must confront a shape-shifting alien life form that kills and assumes the identity of other living creatures. The sense of paranoia and madness Carpenter achieves is surpassed only by Rob Bottin's ground breaking visual effects, which are just as impressive 25 years later and stand as testament that CGI cannot always trump a little liquid latex and Karo syrup.
Kurt Russell leads a stellar cast that also includes Wilford Brimley and Keith David.
Dir. John Carpenter \ US \ 1982 \ 35mm \ 109 min. \ Color
PRINCE OF DARKNESS
In many respects this is almost a remake of Carpenter's own Assault on Precinct 13, but with the marauding criminal gangs replaced by possessed homeless people and a big vat of satanic Hawaiian Punch. Donald Pleasance (second only to Kurt Russell on Carpenter's list of favorite actors) is a priest who discovers a bizarre green fluid stored in the basement of an old church and fears it might actually be the antichrist in liquid form.or something like that. Rather than call the Vatican or the army or Ghostbusters, he seeks assistance from a bunch of graduate students and a math professor.
Bad move, Donald.bad move. Also features Victor Wong (hooray!) and Alice Cooper (huh?).
Dir. John Carpenter \ US \ 1987 \ 16mm \ 102 min. \ Color
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK
Thought Snake Plisken was dead? Think again!! Kurt Russell plays Snake, a dangerous con who is forced by penalty of death to retrieve the president of the US (played by none other than Donald Pleasance) whose plane has crashed into NY City – now a maximum security prison and home to the deadliest criminals on earth!! Featuring an all star cast of cult actors including Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, and Isaac Hayes as the Duke, John Carpenter’s futuristic western set a new standard of tough guy action in the 80s and has never gone out of style.

Saturday, Feb 17: MY BLOODY VALENTINE and CANDYMAN
Exhumed Films presents a double dose of Romance Gone Awry!
MY BLOODY VALENTINE-- a well-regarded slasher from the early '80s that once again proves no holiday is safe from homicidal maniacs. A seemingly innocent Valentine's Day dance inadvertently leads to a mine explosion and the deaths of several coal miners (isn't that always the way?). Twenty years later, a group of youngsters decides to organize the town's first Valentine's dance since the horrible accident. Unfortunately, they are stalked by a pick axe wielding, gas mask wearing killer who takes offense to their insensitivity. Could this masked madman be the lone survivor of the explosion, or is something else afoot?

CANDYMAN-- for a gruesome horror film, this has quite a pedigree: it's produced by famed horror writer/director Clive Barker (Hellraiser), written & directed by art house filmmaker Bernard Rose (Immortal Beloved, Anna Karenina), and features a score by Phillip Glass. Loosely based on one of Barker's short stories, Candyman tells the tale of graduate student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen), who is writing a thesis paper on urban legends. In an inner-city ghetto she hears the legend of "Candyman", a vengeful spirit who materializes and slaughters anyone brave enough (or foolish enough) to repeat his name five times. When a series of murders takes place in the city, it seems as if the titular boogeyman might be the culprit. Even worse is the possibility that Helen herself is actually the reincarnation of Candyman's long lost love. Her boyfriend's back, and she's gonna be in trouble.....

Jim Van Bebber's
Charlie’s Family (aka Manson Family)
and
Race with the Devil
(70`s Satanic Action Film)
Fifteen years in the making, THE MANSON FAMILY, formerly known as
CHARLIE¹S FAMILY in film circles, is the second feature from
Dayton filmmaker Jim Van Bebber. Van Bebber found a cult following in
the late 80¹s with his feature DEADBEAT AT DAWN as well as for his
short films and music videos for such bands as Skinny Puppy.
A self-financed labor of love, the film's scope expanded over the years
to become a multi-layered final word on the tragic events of August 9th
& 10th 1969 as well as the impact those events continue to have on
popular culture. The film combines detailed recreations of the Family
members' lives, chronicling of the events on the Spahn Ranch that led
to the Tate-LaBianca killings and contemporary jailhouse interviews
with The Family as well as a chilling look at a group of
Manson-obsessed, nihilistic punk teenagers. Connecting these narrative
strands is a tabloid television journalist producing a special focusing
on The Family. Stylistically, The Manson Family fuses classic
grindhouse horror with an experimentalism rooted in the underground
referencing the transcendent death trip of the Cinema of Transgression
to Kenneth Anger's hallucinogenic occultism.
