Screenings in the Bay (Monday to Friday): Insidious: The Last Key, The Green Fog, Anti-Porno



Hey guys! I hope everyone's year is off to a good start, but let's see if we can't make it a bit better. This first week of January is a weird one but the fact that it contains the next installation of one of my favorite new horror franchises seems like a promising sign for 2018. Yes, this week ends with the release of Insidious: The Last Key! I've been avoiding these trailers as much as possible, but they're absolutely everywhere. The end of this week also features a more locally significant release, which is the limited run of The Green Fog. And the opening night screening, this Friday will be accompanied by a Q&A with one of the filmmakers behind this strange and intriguing film.

Art House/ Comedy/ Drama (Rotten Tomatoes)
Young artist Kyoko (Ami Tomite) wreaks havoc on everyone that she encounters, her worst being reserved for simpering older assistant Noriko (Mariko Trutsui), whom she routinely humiliates-or at least that's what seems to be happening, before an abrupt about-face. Outrageous rabble-rouser Sono's contribution to the Roman Porno redux series contains plenty of sex, but is also a fourth-wall breaking, experimental study of feminine agency set against outlandish, eye-popping backdrops.
