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.

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.

The new indie freakshow from writer/director Jon Westling, Brainbugs, is coming to The Frida Cinema!

A food delivery driver is reluctantly dragged into the middle of a criminal plot. When the job goes wrong, quick thinking and smart talking are the only tools protecting him from his captor, and an increasingly uncertain fate.
