A gang of masked, axe wielding murders invades the Davison family reunion in YOU’RE NEXT!

Nitehawk’s Final Girl series kicks off with one of the best new horror films and the latest release in series: Adam Wingard’s stellar home-invasion film, You’re Next. In the beginning, it’s the standard trope of a family happily gathered together in a somewhat isolated space for a celebration. Then comes the inevitable trouble: a gang of masked ‘Animals’ starts to systematically kill everyone and ruin all the fun. But Wingard puts a clever twist on the genre and reclaims the power of survival into a woman’s role by revealing that one of the victims (Erin) turns out to be the toughest killer of them all. Watch out because YOU’RE NEXT!

SECOND PULP FICTION FILM FEAST SCREENING ADDED ON OCTOBER 15 (get tickets here or click the scroll down menu to the left).

Nitehawk Cinema presents…
FILM FEAST: PULP FICTION

Quentin Tarantino’s highly stylized violent and verbose PULP FICTION is twenty-years old this year!

Celebrate 20 years of Quentin Tarantino’s groundbreaking film with Nitehawk Cinema Film Feast presentation of Pulp Fiction featuring Absolut Vodka cocktails. As always, the screening includes delicious beverage and food menu pairings related to the film. The best part? You’ll be served each course during the specific moments that inspired the film so you can experience edible sensations while watching all of the action unfold on-screen!

The ultimate post-modern film! Weaving together separate yet interrelated tales of violence, revenge and affection, Tarantino’s seminal Pulp Fiction broke all the rules to become one of the most memorable movies of the 20th century. The film’s intelligent dialogue, non-linear storytelling, pop-cultural meta-ness, and stylized violence captivated audiences in desperate need of something fresh. Today, Pulp Fiction delivers smart entertainment that stands the test of time with its now iconic introspective hitman, washed up boxer, and a mobster’s wife. All these years later though, we still don’t know what’s in that damn briefcase.

Two decades ago, before he was an Academy Award winner, Danny Boyle made his directorial debut with the black-comedy crime thriller, SHALLOW GRAVE. We’re not going to ruin the plot for those who haven’t seen it but the film centers around three roommates (very tight friends) who get a new mysterious flatmate. But after a couple of days of this new guy locking his door and never seen again, they start investigating and get a whole lot more than they bargained for. Very original for its time, it starts off very funny but then gets more sinister as things unfold.
