7:30pm - THE BLAiR WiTCH PROJECT (1999)
(14th anniversay 35mm screening!)
Written and Directed by Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick
w/ Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams and Joshua Leonard

This revolutionary $25,000 ulta-low budget horror film not only took the Sundance Film Festival by storm at the end of the 20th Century, it changed the way mainstream cinema (and TV) is still shot and edited to-this-day. THE BLAiR WiTCH PROJECT proved that the homemade student-film generation had just as many fears and phobias to expose as the big-budget blockbusters from previous decades i.e. Steven Spielberg's JAWS (1975) and Ridley Scott's ALiEN (1979). Utilizing a brilliant online campaign called a "website" from the burgeoning internet era, these first time filmmakers put their heart and souls into this timeless modern folktale that is just as terrifying now as it was almost fifteen years ago! Come on out to see an original 35mm print projected correctly in the exquisitely RARE aspect ratio of 1.66 courtesy of Lionsgate. Rated R. 81min. Preceded by a slew of late 1990s horror trailers!

9:30pm - RiNGU: Japanese VERSiON (198)
Based on the book by Kôji Suzuki; Directed by Hideo Nakata
Containing Nanako Matsushima, Hiroyuki Sanada and Rikiya ?taka

Considered one of the scariest Japanese films ever made, this original version of THE RiNG will finally be making it's San Francisco Theatrical Premiere on its 15th Anniversary at the greatest movie theatre in the country! Withheld from US theatres in order to make money off Gore Verbinski's wonderful remake in 2002, this often experimental horror film keeps you hypnotized in a way that very few films have ever achieved. Still ranking as one of the highest grossing films in Japanese history, do yourself a favor and do not read any spoiler synopses and BUY YOUR ADVANCE TICKETS to this long awaited theatrical premiere. There's nothing like losing your mind in a movie theatre. Original 35mm print courtesy of Paramount Pictures. UNRATED. 96min. Preceded by other obscure Asian movie trailers and upcoming M4M events.

Days before Dario Argento's favorite band Goblin comes to San Francisco (See PROFONDO ROSSO and SUSPiRiA) DO NOT MiSS this special 35mm screening of his ode to movie theatres DEMONS. Slamming together as much hairspray, heavy metal and downright gore as demonly possible, this rambunctious monster mash will leave you metaphysically shaking in San Francisco's oldest running movie theater... The Roxie! Add to that the haunting tunes of Claudio Simonetti (the keyboardist for Goblin) as well as Billy Idol, Motley Crue, Accept and Rick Springfield! Preceded by the most traumatizing horror trailers in my collection (worth the admission alone!)
