Synopsis

Body horror meets mind control in this visceral double bill where flesh mutates, reality fractures, and paranoia reigns supreme.

THE THING (1982) | MA

John Carpenter’s icy masterpiece drops a group of researchers into the isolation of Antarctica, where a shape-shifting alien turns trust into terror - anyone could be the monster, and no one is safe. With jaw-dropping practical effects and suffocating paranoia, The Thing is a slow-burn descent into body horror that still shreds nerves and melts minds.

15 min intermission

VIDEODROME (1983) | R

Long live the new flesh. In David Cronenberg’s nightmarish vision of media gone mad, a sleazy cable-TV exec stumbles onto a pirated broadcast that warps his body and mind. Hallucinatory, visceral, and decades ahead of its time, Videodrome is a brain-melting descent into techno-paranoia, where reality glitches and the screen consumes you. Debbie Harry of Blondie makes an appearance in a role that is as seductive as it is unsettling.

Reviews

Every October, I revisit John Carpenter’s “The Thing” to celebrate the month of Halloween, and every year I arrive at the same conclusion: it's one of the most effective horror films ever made.
Wael Khairy, RogerEbert.com
A horror film of unusual substance and vision -- the first film from David Cronenberg that announced his true importance as a filmmaker.
