BOARDINGHOUSE (1982) Presented in HORROR VISION™️ - Friday 18 Sept 8pm 🎞️ At where else but The Hollywood, will you be witness to a World first exclusive, in-house experience like no other? Boarding house, presented in HORROR VISION™️, the startling gimmick that jumps from the screen directly into the cinema!
Boardinghouse is THE essential piece of lunatic cinema, with blood, babes, gore and more madness than you can imagine.
From the fabled Incredibly Strange collection, this is an incredibly rare 35mm print! An oddity as it’s the first horror movie shot on tape and blown up to film!
A decade after a series of unexplained deaths occurred on the property, new age meditation specialist and psychic warrior Jim Royce has inherited the ominous Hoffman house and opened it as a residence for “unattached and beautiful” women. Soon enough, people begin dying in gruesome and mysterious ways and it’s up to Jim and one of his psychically gifted tenants to go to battle with the dark forces attached to the house.
The brainchild of new age workshop leaders and rock musicians Johnima and Kalassu Wintergate (playing the leads, with Johnima also writing and directing) and prominently featuring the music of their band Lightstorm (who’ve recently been feted with a greatest hits compilation courtesy of Drag City Records), BOARDINGHOUSE found the couple’s spiritual concerns inscrutably butting up against the excesses of s*x and violence endemic to the independent horror marketplace. Possessed with a bizarre energy all its own, as well as an arbitrarily deployed “Horror Vision” gimmick, BOARDINGHOUSE manages to never coast or sit still throughout its runtime, ping-ponging between stalk-and-slash fakeouts, psychedelic video effects-laden freakouts, and legitimately eerie paranormal creep-outs.
The first horror film to be shot on oh-so-80s analog video, BOARDINGHOUSE is an essential piece of lunatic cinema, complete with requisite high levels of gore and camp and presented in an archival 35mm print!
COME EARLY! Doors 7pm, rare 35mm clips and trailers 7:30pm 🎟️ 🔗 https://bit.ly/hwBOARDINGHOUSE?r=lp&m=Mn8d4ZlaKBR
