After wandering a ruined city for years looking for food and shelter, two siblings discover an older man who promises to take care of them and, as they begin to create a womb-like cave for him, a disturbing sexual relationship emerges. Uncompromisingly graphic, provocative cinema from a truly independent debut film hailed by the director of THE REVENANT, Alejandro Iñárritu, this is a unique glimpse into Mexican genre cinema at its darkest.

Director: Steve Barker

Following humanity’s thwarting of a zombie apocalypse, a holiday resort offers people a safari with a difference: your chance to hunt and kill the walking dead. Zombie movies have often been used to carry a contemporary message about the world we live in and Barker (OUTPOST) uses the platform the genre offers to make the living dead relevant again. WESTWORLD meets THE WALKING DEAD!

Outrageous, gross, offensive and utterly compelling, there is nothing like THE GREASY STRANGLER out there. Lonely Braydon lives alone with his father, Big Ronnie. Incapable of being with his girlfriend without his dad trying to use his smooth moves on her, Braydon grows more frustrated, all the while the Greasy Strangler (a murderer covered in grease) continues to kill and kill again. Could his grease loving father be the killer? A cult movie in the making.

MAYHEM FILM FESTIVAL

Cast: Barry Sullivan, Norma Bengell

Year: 1968

Duration: 88m

Restored and remastered under the supervision of Nicolas Winding Refn (THE NEON DEMON) at the Cannes Film Festival. 

Beautiful, haunting, stylish and over the top, Bava's sci-fi horror film was a huge influence on ALIEN. Answering a distress signal, the crew of a space ship head to a hazardous alien planet and encounter devastating horror.

“It is a truly great film, it’s melodramatic; it’s operatic; it’s campy; has great music; leather costumes; space ships; it has really wacky dialogue.” Nicolas Winding Refn

"The best SF film ever made in Italy." Fangoria

Please note this event will start promptly at the advertised time 11PM
