Special Double Feature : « Y2K Horror »
Have you finally shaken off that Christmas belly and nursed your New Year’s hangover? Get ready to embrace the ultimate season (for now!) of midnight movies at the Luxembourg Cinémathèque.
We’re kicking off with our Y2K HORROR DOUBLE FEATURE— screened on original 35mm prints! First, Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body, a feminist body horror starring Megan Fox as a possessed cheerleader with a taste for boys (and girls). Next, Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell, where bad karma, demonic curses, and vengeful witches collide in classic Raimi style.
Let us be clear: On January 24th, Jacques le Rippeur and Gove van Meatgrinder are going back to their old ways, serving up scary quizzes, dress-up and enough thrills to heat up an old IBM Pentium processor!
