Confined to a mental hospital, young Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence) insists her supposedly dead father is stuck in hell, controlled by sadomasochistic demons after being betrayed by his evil, occult-obsessed wife, Julia (Clare Higgins). Few believe Kirsty, except the thrill-seeking Dr. Channard (Kenneth Cranham), who is intrigued by S&M and the young woman’s lurid stories. So when Kirsty and fellow patient Tiffany (Imogen Boorman) head to hell for a rescue, Channard and Julia are close behind.

Following a series of drug deals and murders, three criminals — Fantasia (Cynda Williams), Ray Malcolm (Billy Bob Thornton) and Pluto (Michael Beach) — travel from Los Angeles to Houston, finally arriving in a small Arkansas town to go into hiding. Two detectives from the LAPD, who are already on the case, contact the town’s sheriff, Dale Dixon (Bill Paxton), to alert him of the fugitives’ presence in the area. Underestimating Dixon, the criminals have no idea what they are about to face.
Before One False Move, we’ll be presenting a rare screening of Carl Franklin’s early short Punk from 1986, starring Don Cheadle:

During one pivotal week he encounters dangers which must be overcome if he is to avoid becoming another inner city casualty or another street punk.

This July, the mores of America get deep-sixed on the Deuce with DEVIL TIMES FIVE aka PEOPLE TOYS!!

So wrapped up are these “adults” in their own selfish shenanigans, they take nary a notice that their mischievous mop-head visitors are violently murdering them all in a variety of creative methods! A microcosm of America’s moral decay played out by killer kids!!
And if that weren’t enough – just imagine the delight in the aisles of Times Square’s Lyric Theatre when it shared the screen with SNUFF! With Sorrell “Boss Hog” Booke and on-the-verge of teen-idol hunk-dom Lief Garrett as the cross-dressing leader of the mirthful murderous moppets!!

When a prominent so-and-so is found filleted in his mansion, Assistant District Attorney David Corelli (David Caruso) becomes too close to the case as former lover Trina (Linda Fiorentino) looks to be a prime suspect. Will pubic hair souvenirs or video evidence at a “f*ck house” frequented by powerful men lead the trail closer to her, or is that part of someone’s plan? William Friedkin’s wild ride is as sleazy as they come, getting your pulse racing with salacious implications and a few car crashes for good measure.
