Grindhouse Film Festival @ New Beverly

The Grindhouse Film Festival returns to the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles TONIGHT (Tuesday, May 23rd) with another insane double-feature. This month will feature screenings of rare 35mm prints of two mindblowing films from Southeast Asia, the very rare Filipino film DEVIL WOMAN (1970) and the Indonesian crowd pleaser LADY TERMINATOR (1988).

We've never seen the first film, but judging from the trailer and radio spot it should be a lot of fun. Any film with a snake-haired woman getting revenge on those who killed her parents has to be good, especially with a healthy dose of kung fu action thrown in. Plus, who can resist a tag line like this: "The baddest dudes who ever walked the face of the earth fight a battle to the death with Satan's sinister sister!" This is one of the rarest titles we've ever screened, so don't miss out.

LADY TERMINATOR is an over-the-top film filled with incredible amounts of cartoonish sex and violence (and the just plain weirdness that makes so many Indonesian exploitation films worth seeking out), and was one of the last titles to thrill and amaze the whacked out denizens of a rapidly fading late-80's 42nd Street. After years as a popular grey market video title it's now available in a beautiful special edition DVD from Mondo Macabro, but should really be seen with a crazed audience to fully appreciate its many charms.

As usual the evening will begin with our world-famous free raffle of assorted trash and treasures, followed by TWO amazing reels of classic exploitation trailers. This month we'll have some great DVD's from our friends at ei Independent Cinema, along with some other surprises. All of this for only $7.00, in the company of a crowd of enthusiastic fellow fans and assorted maniacs. Miss it and you'll be tormented by regret until your final days! Attend, and you'll have a great time...though possibly leave with a stiff back and fewer brain cells than you arrived with.

Pass the word and bring a friend or two - we have some great stuff planned for the next few months, but need the support of fans and a steady attendance to keep this going.
