Well, it isn't like Braindead. It's something new, something extremely
unique and original. Really impressive if you ask me, and a whole lot of
fun. I loved the inbred family, loved the "over-the-top" gore
effects.

Under the Radar
A double feature of unknown flicks.
Doors open: 20h
20h15: Mexico 1991, 100 min. english subs
The undervalued Alex Cox directs this underrated gem. El Patrullero follows Pedro Rojas, an initially idealistic Mexican national highway patrolman, from cadet training to his rookie assignment. Things go south south of the border as a quick courtship becomes a stormy marriage, and steady resolve gives way to moral disintegration and corruption as Pedro and his partner Anibal navigate desert highways flooded with drugs, opportunity and temptation. Abuse of power, strung out whores, routine traffic stops, the human condition, intense shootouts and public service all slam and bang on broken axles to a bloody climax of revenge and redemption.
22h: USA 1973, 95min.
A tongue-in-cheek psycho movie in "Duo-vision." The entire feature employs the split-screen technique used in parts of Brian De Palma's "Sisters" that same year. As a handyman at a seacoast hotel, Randolph Roberts wears a monster mask while he kills and dismembers women with blond hair. Tiffany Bolling is a singer, Scott Brady is a detective and Edd "Kookie" Burns is a lifeguard. The music is the original organ score for the silent film "Phantom of the Opera."

A love triangle develops between three people who run a high tech chicken farm. It involves Anna (who owns the farm), her husband Marco (who kills prostitutes in his spare time) and Gabriella (the very beautiful secretary). Marco continues to kill as jealousy becomes more prevalent on the farm.
Widely regarded as the best Giallo ever done.

Candide is a nice, innocent young man who is raised in a castle of a noble
family in Westphalia during the medieval age. Dr. Pangloss, a teacher of
metaphysics and philosophy educates him and tells that he lives in the best
of all possible worlds and that any apparent absurdity, misery and conflict
are actually all parts of a greater good that mortals cannot perceive. The
happy life of Candido changes drastically when he falls in love with the
Baron's daughter Cunegonda and is caught with her. Candide is banned from
the castle and starts traveling into a timeless world, searching for his
lost love.
Candide attempts to stay optimistic as unbelievable horrors unfold in a
world full of brutality, war, slavery and sickness...
The makers of this movie base the film on a cynical satire `Candide' from the French writer Voltaire. Directors Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi are known for their documentaries in which they have already presented the horrors of the world: MONDO CANE (part 1 and 2), AFRICA ADDIO and the very revolting ADDIO ZIO TOM. In comparison with other shockumentaries, all these movies are very well directed, have a racy comment and contain unforgettable images. "Mondo Candido" is a masterpiece. It's sensational, sometimes shocking but you will see a series of unforgettable images, very beautifully filmed, even though they are cruel, nihilistic and pessimistic
