EFFECTS

B-movie expert A.C. Nicholas hosts a screening of the film Effects. In 1979, some of George Romero's collaborators, like Dusty Nelson, John Harrison, Pat Buba, Joseph Pilato, and Tom Savini, got together to make this shot-in-Pittsburgh film about a filmmaker whose low-budget horror film might, unbeknownst to its cast and crew, actually be a snuff film. It was a meta, "elevated" horror film long before A24 was around. Unfortunately, the company that distributed Effects went bankrupt, and outside of a couple of theatrical showings, the film remained unseen for decades. But the folks at the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) rescued the only existing 35mm print and remastered this once-lost film, and now the Babylon Kino brings it to you.

If you like the films of George Romero (and who doesn't?) or intelligent horror films in general, you can't afford to miss this small gem. So join us. We'll have drinks, discussion, and perhaps a surprise or two. See you August 9!
