The Rapture

THE DEUCE will make Believers out of you in December, as we conclude 2017 with the ultimate end-of-the-year, End of the World blow-out THE RAPTURE!

Bored with mind-numbing work and bed-hopping swinger’s sessions, telephone information operator Mimi Rogers becomes a Born Again with mulleted ex-sex-partner David Duchovny – and begins a toxic relationship… with God! He’s such a jerk!!

A seriously demented and brazenly bonkers investigation of fathomless faith that goes for broke; adventurous and uncompromising beautiful and bewildering!

Five Dolls For An August Moon

FIVE DOLLS FOR AN AUGUST MOON is Mario Bava’s deliriously mod spin on an Agatha Christie-style whodunit.

Bava was so closely associated with the horror genre that this twisting mystery was never released theatrically in the U.S., but it is deliciously entertaining all the same. A space age island retreat is visited by a group of friends and business associates, one of whom is a scientist who has invented a revolutionary chemical process, and is fending off various offers to buy it. Soon the vacationers start dying, and the survivors begin to wonder who has the most to gain from these murders most foul.

Anything but a drawing room mystery, Bava’s erotic thriller is enlivened by its psychedelic set design, a hip score by Piero Umiliani, and a swinging performance by giallo goddess Edwige Fenech (All the Colors of the Dark).

Cure

A frustrated detective deals with the case of several gruesome murders committed by people who have no recollection of what they’ve done in CURE.

The unnerving 1997 thriller Cure, directed by contemporary master of suspense Kiyoshi Kurosawa, follows an investigator as he looks into a string of gruesome murders around Tokyo—and discovers that the murderer may be out of his or her mind. It’s a remarkably disturbing, atmospheric suspense film, compelling up to its last haunting frame. – Criterion
