I hope you guys are in a grindhouse kind of mood, because IFC Midnight's Lowlife is opening at the 4 Star Theatre in just a couple of hours! It will be screening all weekend and into next week, but it's definitely worth your while to see it opening weekend, because there will be several special guests joining the audience. Filmmakers will be at the theatre and will be doing a Q&A after the movie! On Saturday, a familiar face will be co-hosting the event. You may know his as Dave O'Shea, of Dave O'Shea's Day Job. It'll be at 8pm tomorrow!
Also this weekend, the British ghost anthology Ghost Stories will be screening at the Opera Plaza in downtown San Francisco! I was kind of bummed when it was only released on VOD last week, but seeing it on the Landmark Theatre calendar got me very excited! I definitely want to make it out to the theatre to check it out soon. I love a good anthology.

What happens when you throw together a fallen Mexican wrestler with serious rage issues, a just-out-of-prison ex-con with a regrettable face tattoo, and a recovering junkie motel owner in search of a kidney? That's the premise of the berserk, blood-spattered, and wickedly entertaining feature debut from Ryan Prows. Set amidst the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, Lowlife zigzags back and forth in time as it charts how fate-and a ruthless crime boss-connects three down-and-out reprobates mixed up in an organ harvesting scheme that goes from bad to worse to off-the-rails insane. Careening from savagely funny to just plain savage to unexpectedly heartfelt, this audacious thriller serves up nonstop adrenaline alongside hard-hitting commentary about the state of contemporary America.
Filmmakers will be in attendance opening weekend and will do a Q&A after the film!

Experience three spine-tingling tales of terror to haunt your dreams. A debunker of all thing paranormal, Professor Phillip Goodman (Andy Nyman) has devoted his life to exposing phony psychics and fraudulent supernatural shenanigans on his own television show. His skepticism is put to the test, however, when he receives a file of three chilling, inexplicable cases: a night watchman (Paul Whitehouse) haunted by disturbing visions as he patrols an abandoned asylum; an edgy young man (Black Mirror's Alex Lawther) involved in a hellish car accident deep in the woods; and a wealthy former banker (Sherlock's Martin Freeman) visited by the poltergeist spirit of his unborn child. Even scarier: each of these macabre stories seems to have sinister connection to Professor Goodman's own life. Will they make a believer of him yet?

Fourteen scriptwriters spent five years toiling over a movie adaptation of war correspondent Vincent Sheehan's Personal History before producer Walter Wanger brought the property to the screen as Foreign Correspondent. What emerged was approximately 2 parts Sheehan and 8 parts director Alfred Hitchcock--and what's wrong with that? Joel McCrea stars as an American journalist sent by his newspaper to cover the volatile war scene in Europe in the years 1938 to 1940. He has barely arrived in Holland before he witnesses the assassination of Dutch diplomat Albert Basserman: at least, that's what he thinks he sees.
