Born in a dynamic local scene sparked by Bad Brains, Minor Threat, and Rites of Spring, a handful of young activists also drew inspiration from UK anarcho-punks Crass and the original “Positive Force” band Seven Seconds to become one of the most long-lasting and influential exponents of punk politics.

Nitehawk Naughties’ spends the night in a castle with Jean Rollin’s erotically blood-thirsty film, FASCINATION. Includes surprise goodies courtesy of our partner, Babeland!

THE CULT: FASCINATION (Un film de JEAN ROLLIN)

It’s pretty much impossible to try to write about a Jean Rollin film, they are much better suited to explain themselves. The king of erotic-horror (and lesbian vampires), Rollin’s films are often bad, sometimes un-watchable, but always visually stunning. These art films recall the look of other European “horror” films of the era but remain, ques cu sa?, resoundingly French. With soft-core porn stars as actresses and plenty of nudity, Fascination (aka Les Frisson des Vampires) is tells the story of a thief who seeks refuge in a castle owned by two seductive women (Eva and Elizabeth) who just happen to be part of an aristocratic vampire cult. Without a doubt, Fascination is one of Rollin’s dreamy and seductive best.

Nitehawk Naughties goes on the trip of a lifetime to Bangkok with EMMANUELLE. 

Includes surprise goodies courtesy of our partner, Babeland! Plus, The Strand will be on hand to sell a curated selection of erotic before the screening!

THE PORN: EMMANUELLE (Un film de Just Jaeckin)

This debut film by photographer Just Jaeckin, Emmanuelle explicitly details the sexual awakening of a young model (Sylvia Kristel) that unfolds when she travels to meet her French diplomat husband in Bangkok. With an intent to cure Emmanuelle (and presumably society too) of the predilection to associate sex with love, the film explores a very open relationship she has with her husband, Jean, and her new friend, Marie-Anne, as each introduces new lovers, both men and women, into the equation in increasingly intense measures. This soft-core porn is fairly faithful to the novel Emmanuelle on which it’s based and it rides the wave of the rise of hardcore pornography and erotic films like Last Tango in Paris that were popular amongst mainstream audiences in the early 1970s. It’s the spawn of numerous sequels but none seem to match the Je ne sais quoi of the original.

Starring: Vincent Gallo, Tricia Vessey, Béatrice Dalle, Alex Descas, Florence Loiret-Caille, Nicolas Duvauchelle

We love you so much, we could eat you. In Claire Denis’ carnal cannibal film Trouble Every Day, American couple Dr. Shane Brown and June go to Paris under the ruse of a honeymoon. In reality, Dr. Brown is really on the hunt for a neuroscientist and his wife, Coré, a woman he was once obsessed with and who suffer from the same malady (read: cannibalism). Coré is imprisoned in her house to prevent eating sprees but chance encounter with the outside world violently penetrates her realm. This unfortunate turn of events triggers an event so cataclysmic that it just might lead to Shane’s chance for a normal life. Love, desire, and hunger. Sexual cannibalism is complicated.

Nitehawk Nasties has a reservation waiting for you at the exclusive BLOOD DINER (a 35mm presentation).

Service is a real killer for the ladies who get into the Namtut Brothers’ wildy popular restaurant. This black comedy horror, with a distinct 1980s B-movie flavor, is a loose sequel to Herschell Gordon Lewis’s infamous cannibal “classic” Blood Feast (1967) and, if you’re a cannibal film connoisseur, you’ll note the similarities. After resurrecting their serial-killer uncle from the grave, restauranteurs Michael and George Tutman takes orders from his head, housed in a mason jar, to bring back the Ancient Lumerian goddess, Sheetar. To achieve that, they have to collect various body parts from immoral women and find a virgin for the goddess to eat. But with two mismatched detectives on the case, will the blood buffet might be a bust. Bone-appetite!
