Double Feature

Shaun of the Dead

The only thing worse than a zombie apocalypse? Your stepdad. Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his best friend Ed (Nick Frost) go from zero to hero in order to save Shaun’s girlfriend and mum (and stepdad Phil) from the undead infiltrating the city. A biting criticism of the everyday zombies we encounter, Shaun of the Dead is a call to arms for all those in dead end jobs, stalled relationships, and wasting away on the same bar stool day after day to not wait for the end of the world to start living.

“If the zombie genre steadfastly refuses to die, we can be grateful to Shaun of the Dead for breathing fresh, diverting life into the form, with subtle visual humor and a smart, impish sense of fun.” – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

“Shaun of the Dead, a remarkably fresh and inventive British import, transforms the unintentional camp of the zombie subgenre into full-on, hilarious comedy” – Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

Tucker and Dale are two best friends on vacation at their dilapidated mountain house, who are mistaken for murderous backwoods hillbillies by a group of obnoxious, preppy college kids. When one of the students gets separated from her friends, the boys try to lend a hand, but as the misunderstanding grows, so does the body count. Tucker & Dale vs. Evil has been a hit on the festival circuit, debuting at Sundance, and winning the Midnight Audience Award at SXSW, the Jury Prize for First Feature at Fantasia, the Best Director award at Fantaspoa, and the Best Motion Picture Award at Sitges.
