Midnight Movies 9/26-9/28 Include Escape from New York and You're Next

By

The fall horror-binge has begun, and as usual Nitehawk has you covered with some great options. This weekend’s midnight movie is You’re Next, beginning their wonderful “Final Girl” film series.  You’re Next falls pretty squarely in the “fun horror” category, along with Scream and Cabin in the Woods, playing to horror tropes without sacrificing any […]

It’s called “Jellyfish Eyes,” and though its intended audience is children, it still looks pretty impressive. “Jellyfish Eyes” is engrossing on many levels, one of which is an ambience […]
