It's Friday again and it couldn't get here fast enough! Mostly because I've been looking forward to this weekend's lineup. There are some very cool limited runs going on this weekend and you're not likely to see them in theatres again soon.
This is the last weekend of July, which means it's Video Vortex at the Alamo Drafthouse SF. They're also showing Private Property, a movie that has been lost for 50 years but only for this weekend.
The Roxie is sci-fi themed this weekend and they're kicking it off with Demon Seed, the sci-fi version of Rosemary's Baby.

Crime/ Drama (IMDB)
"Two homicidal Southern California drifters (played to creepy perfection by Warren Oates and Corey Allen) wander off the beach and into the seemingly-perfect Beverly Hills home of unhappy housewife Kate Manx, in this long-lost film noir gem written & directed by The Outer Limits creator Leslie Stevens. Shot through with shimmering sexual tension and lensed in stunning B&W by master cameraman Ted McCord (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre), PRIVATE PROPERTY is both an eerie, Jim Thompson-esque thriller and a savage critique of the hollowness of the Playboy-era American Dream. When Manx, in irresistible blonde beehive and tight capri pants, purrs that she’s ready for love, her husband waves her off, muttering “Wife noises” to his buddy on the phone."
