Animation lovers, we didn’t forget about you this Spooky Season! We’re delighted to be running 20th anniversary screenings of Nick Park’s claymation caper Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit!

Cheese-loving eccentric Wallace and his cunning canine pal, Gromit, investigate a mystery in Nick Park’s animated adventure, in which the lovable inventor and his intrepid pup run a business ridding the town of garden pests. Using only humane methods that turn their home into a halfway house for evicted vermin, the pair stumble upon a mystery involving a voracious vegetarian monster that threatens to ruin the annual veggie-growing contest.

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit combines stop-motion wizardry, cozy British humor, and monster-movie parody into one endlessly charming package.

We’re very excited to announce that Rialto Pictures is rolling out their brand new 4K restoration of Adrian Lyne’s Jacob’s Ladder for a limited run at The Frida Cinema on October 20th-23rd!

Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins), a Vietnam War veteran plagued with troubling hallucinations and traumatic flashbacks, struggles to maintain his sanity as his terrible past invades his waking life. As girlfriend Jezzie (Elizabeth Peña) and chiropractor friend Louis (Danny Aiello) try to help him find balance, Jacob only descends further into madness and despair.

This restoration was completed by ROUNDABOUT – USA from the original negative scanned and restored in 4K. The color grading and restoration was supervised by Adrian Lyne. This project was brought to you by STUDIOCANAL and supervised by Delphine Roussel and Jean-Pierre Boiget.

It’s October at The Frida Cinema, so it’s time, once again, to present the original theatrical cut of William Friedkin’s horror masterpiece The Exorcist!

When a charming 12-year-old girl takes on the characteristics and voices of others, doctors say there is nothing they can do. As people begin to die, the girl’s mother realizes her daughter has been possessed by the Devil. Her daughter’s only possible hope lies with two priests and the ancient rite of demonic exorcism.

One of the most influential and infamous horror films of all time, The Exorcist shocked 1970s audiences with its chilling atmosphere and groundbreaking effects. But it’s the central performances from Ellen Burstyn, Jason Miller, Max von Sydow, and Linda Blair that still horrify fifty years later.

Join us for a night of chilling camp, psychological suspense, and Old Hollywood fireworks as our Classic Movie Nights series delves into the deranged world of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Bette Davis and Joan Crawford—two screen legends whose off-screen rivalry was just as infamous as their on-screen performances (but we’ll let Bekah really fill you on the details here)—square off in this deliciously macabre tale of faded fame. Davis is unforgettable (and unhinged) as Baby Jane Hudson, a former child star rotting in her own delusions, while Crawford brings heartbreaking restraint as Blanche, her wheelchair-bound sister, trapped with a woman teetering between guilt and madness.

A cult classic of high-wire hysteria from director Robert Aldrich, What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? paved the way for “psycho-biddy” cinema and gave aging actresses roles they could sink their teeth into—sometimes literally.

Make sure to get to the screening early, as our Marketing Director Bekah will be doing a very informative and entertaining presentation on the film before it starts!
