Pillion, the highly-anticipated new movie from filmmaker Harry Lighton, starring Alexander Skasgard and Harry Melling, is coming to The Frida Cinema!

The story follows Colin, a timid gay man, is swept off his feet when Ray, an enigmatic and impossibly handsome biker, takes him on as his submissive in a crazy and erotic BDSM-focused relationship.

The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival and won accolades for its screenplay and overall standout reception. It also earned multiple British Independent Film Awards, including Best British Independent Film.

It’s time to dance with the Devil…again.

Ryan Coogler’s genre-mashing dance party from Hell, Sinners, is back at The Frida Cinema after winning four Academy Awards, including Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan, Best Original Screenplay for Ryan Coogler, Best Cinematography for Autumn Durald Arkapaw, and Best Original Score for Ludwig Göransson!

Set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta during the Jim Crow era, Sinners follows twin brothers Smoke and Stack (both played by Michael B. Jordan) as they return home after years away trying to leave their troubled pasts behind. With plans to open a juke joint for their community using money earned in Chicago, the celebration takes a dark turn when supernatural forces are awakened and begin to menace the town.

A towering modern classic, Sinners has unheard of levels of ambition in the modern Hollywood landcape. Whether you’ve seen it already or are experiencing it for the first time, there’s no denying that the big screen is the best place to celebrate its massive success.

Just added: guests that dress up like Aunt Gladys to either of our 10:15PM screenings will receive a free small popcorn!

Last night at 2:17 AM, every child from Mrs. Gandy’s class woke up, got out of bed, went downstairs, opened the front door, and walked into the dark.

The Frida Cinema is proud to present Zach Cregger’s suburban horror masterpiece Weapons, hot off the heels of its win at the 2026 Academy Awards, where Amy Madigan won Best Supporting Actress for your unforgettable performance as the terrifying Aunt Gladys.

Weapons tells the story of the quiet town of Maybrook, where a single, terrifying event shatters the community overnight. After seventeen children from the same elementary school class mysteriously vanish from their homes, their community is launched into chaos, with everyone wanting answers. What begins as a baffling missing-children case slowly spirals into something far more disturbing, as the town is forced to confront the possibility that the disappearances may be tied to a darker, more supernatural force lurking beneath the surface.

One of the biggest hits of the year as far as original stories are concerned, Weapons is exactly the type of bold, big-budgeting genre filmmaking we need to be celebrating right now. Don’t miss your chance to see it (or see it again) on the big screen!

Think you’ve got what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the film nerds of Southern California? Then it’s time to put your cinema knowledge to the ultimate test at The Frida’s monthly Film Trivia Night!

Each month, we challenge cinephiles with five meticulously crafted rounds of film trivia, plus a special bonus round for those who truly know their stuff. Expect everything from deep dives to cult classics, iconic soundtracks to infamous flops. 

Echoing everything from Herk Harvey’s Carnival Of Souls to Mario Bava’s Kill, Baby…Kill!, Messiah Of Evil is a swirling vortex of Lovecraftian terror and grisly bloodshed from the team who’d later go on to make Howard The Duck! That perfect storm of madness makes it a perfect entry into our Hallucinations series!

After receiving a string of unsettling letters from her father, Arletty arrives in a sleepy California coastal town called Point Dune. Dad is nowhere to be seen. Instead, Arletty finds a town full of drugged-out burnouts, barren shopping centers, and…something else.  

Marianna Hill (High Plains Drifter), Michael Greer (Fortune And Men’s Eyes), and Elisha Cook Jr. (The Maltese Falcon) star in this unjustly overlooked major work of independent American horror that’s primed for (re)discovery.

Hosted by Polygon’s editor-in-chief Chris Plante, Hallucinations is a monthly event that spotlights movies that challenge our expectations of story, style, and “good taste”. We invite guests to bond over films that change what we expect from the medium, the world, and themselves. So come early, stay late, make friends, and watch something strange, surprising, or just shamelessly sick.
