Our first Film Club Members Only screening for the month of February is Clint Bentley’s Train Dreams, now nominated for Best Picture at The Academy Awards in 2026! 

Based on Denis Johnson’s novella, Train Dreams follows Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton in a classic Joel Edgerton role), a stoic laborer in the early-20th century American West who struggles with profound loss and rapid modernization of the Idaho wilderness, haunted by trauma and the changing landscape.

The film recently secured 4 Oscar nominations at the 98th Academy Awards (2026), including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography (Adolpho Veloso), and Best Original Song (“Train Dreams” by Nick Cave and Bryce Dessner).

Evil takes many forms.

Play It By Fear (@playitbyfear.33) continues their brand new Sunday Scaries series by delving into the dark world of Robert Eggers’ 2016 New England nightmare The VVitch. 

In 1630, a farmer relocates his family to a remote plot of land on the edge of a forest where strange, unsettling things happen. With suspicion and paranoia mounting, each family member’s faith, loyalty and love are tested in shocking ways.

Never too far from our programming line, The VVitch has stood the test of time over the past ten years, forever changing the landscape of Indie Horror as we know it.

Do you know anything about witches? A technicolor nightmare bathed in neon light and scored to the pounding, otherworldly rhythms of Goblin, Dario Argento’s Suspiria is back to play as part of our Sunday Scaries series, presented by Play It By Fear (@playitbyfear.33)!  

Suzy (Jessica Harper) travels to Germany to attend ballet school. When she arrives, late on a stormy night, no one lets her in, and she sees Pat (Eva Axén), another student, fleeing from the school. What happens after that is a descent into colorful mystery madness that only Argento could deliver.

Released in 1977 and still unlike anything before or since, Suspiria is the film Argento will be remembered for: a Giallo that transcends the genre, dripping with dread, saturated in color, and terrifying in ways that defy logic. It’s horror as high art. Don’t miss this certified Frida Cinema favorite loud and proud on the big screen where it belongs!
