What’s playing at this special double-bill Orbiter screening, you ask? (Apr 21)
MANFISH When a humanoid sea creature washes up in Terry’s bleak life they quickly develop feelings for each other. But can Man love Fish, and will Terry’s older criminal brother get his hands on the creature before Terry can decide how he feels?
CRABS! A horde of murderous crab monsters descend on a sleepy coastal town on Prom night, and only a ragtag group of outcasts can save the day.
UNDER WORLDS FILM FEST (May 20-21)
A marathon two-day event of the best in indie horror, from the same team that brings you Other Worlds each December. It will be just one screen and an epic selection representing the full spectrum of horror. Miss it and leaving that back door unlocked won’t be your only regret.
