Exhumed Films: Zombie Double Feature this Friday!
Exhumed Films will be having another one of their great 35mm horror double features this Friday starting at 8:00pm at the International House. This showing’s theme is “One Dark Night of the Zombies!” and the 2 great films on the bill are:
One Dark Night
1983 / USA / Dir: Tom McLaughlin / 35mm
A young girl’s initiation into a sorority-like group of teens involves her being able to spend the night in a creepy mausoleum. How could she know that it would contain the body of Raymar, an undead psychic who uses telekinesis to reanimate corpses to do his evil bidding? Directed by Tom McLoughlin, who would go on to direct the very entertaining Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, One Dark Night is spooky, silly fun– shown on a pristine 35mm print. Starring Meg Tilly and Adam West.
followed by:
1980 / Italy / Dir: Bruno Mattei / 35mm
This is the one you’ve been waiting for! Screened only once by Exhumed Films in 1999, this infamous zombie “classic” has finally been unearthed from our vaults. Night of the Zombies (aka Virus, Hell of the Living Dead) tells a familiar tale: an accident involving experimental chemicals has unleashed a plague that turns the bodies of the recently deceased into cannibalistic monsters. A tv reporter joins up with a team of special forces commandos to investigate and eventually battle the armies of the undead. A total shameless rip-off of both George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (right down to the plagiarized Goblin soundtrack!) and Fulci’s Zombie, but filled with enough ridiculous gore to make us forgive its faults. Almost.
I will definitely be in attendance, see you there! Check out the trailers for both films after the jump!
