Retro Picture Show presents EVIL DEAD 2 and
THE GATE – both screening on 35mm.
EVIL DEAD 2 (1987)
Ash (Bruce Campbell),
the sole survivor of The Evil Dead returns to the same isolated cabin deep in
the woods with his girlfriend, Annie (Sarah Berry). The two discover a
mysterious tape recorder and hear the voice of Professor Knowby reciting
passages from the Necronomicon, or Book of the Dead. Little do they know that
the professor’s words are powerful enough to evoke a spell that unleashes the
spirit of evil alive in the remote forest surrounding them.
Watch in terror as the
plot sickens and the supernatural demons invade the cabin on a gory crusade for
human victims. In desperation, Ash attempts to escape his horrific fate by
battling with the gruesome ghouls with the help of some unexpected visitors.
However, he discovers that he is no match for the unspeakable creatures lurking
behind every door, and waiting beyond every corner. (US, 84 mins, Dir. Sam
Raimi, 35mm)
THE GATE (1987)
Open THE GATE for
terror – it’s a frightening supernatural thriller where your worst nightmares
come true. Sensational special effects combined with chilling suspense make for
a hellish film adventure.
Haunting visions fill
a once-peaceful home as two teens discover an unholy evil that waits below.
Best friends, Glen and Terry, stumble across a special rock with a beautiful crystalline
center in Glen’s backyard. The rock enthralls them and they dig up the family’s
newly sodded lawn in search for more of the precious stones… They find THE GATE
– a hidden underground chamber that holds the secret of centuries and the
vengeance of eternity. They’ve unlocked deadly demons and ghoulish fiends out
to create Hell on earth. The kids’ worst nightmares chase them through the
haunted night. The GATE must be closed before it’s too late. (US, 85 mins, Dir.
