Celebrate 50 years of the Antichrist at The Frida as we present the original The Omen as part of our Art House of Horror: Presented by MUBI series! 

When American diplomat Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) and his wife Katherine (Lee Remick) welcome their new son Damien, they believe their prayers for a child have finally been answered. But as a series of increasingly horrifying deaths surrounds the family, Robert begins to uncover a terrifying possibility: Damien may not be the child they thought he was.

Richard Donner’s supernatural horror classic turns a seemingly perfect family into the center of an apocalyptic nightmare, elevated by Jerry Goldsmith’s Oscar-winning score, an unforgettable performance by Peck, and some of the most infamous death scenes in horror history. A massive box-office success that spawned sequels, a remake, and decades of imitators, The Omen remains one of the defining horror films of the 1970s.

Our three film tribute to our favorite scream king, Sam Neill, continues with John Carpenter’s In The Mouth Of Madness in a stunning brand new 4K resotration via Warner Brothers!

When best-selling horror novelist Sutter Cane (Jürgen Prochnow) mysteriously vanishes, skeptical insurance investigator John Trent (Sam Neill) is sent to track him down. But as Trent digs deeper into Cane’s disappearance, he discovers a terrifying world where fiction infects reality, madness spreads like a virus, and the boundaries of existence dissolve into nightmare.

A Lovecraftian and meta-cinematic mind warp, Carpenter’s cult classic is a supremely underrated descent into cosmic terror that also contains another one of his all-timer synth scores.

About The Silent Light
Founded in 2015 by Michael Formanski, The Silent Light is a musical endeavor that breathes new life into classic silent films through the power of live heavy metal. Formanski, composer and film director, crafts each score drawing from the dark and intense realms of black metal, doom metal, and original fantasy soundtracks with influences such as The Body, Sunn O))), Emperor, Summoning, and Nobuo Uematsu. Accompanying Formanski is Matt Hardy, the steadfast drummer who has been a key member for the past several years, along with a rotating ensemble of skilled musicians who contribute to the project’s ever-evolving sound.

The Silent Light’s performances transform silent films like Metropolis, Faust, and Nosferatu into contemporary masterpieces with their haunting and powerful metal scores. They continue to push the boundaries of what silent film scoring can be, inviting audiences to experience the classics in a way they never have before.

Enter the darkness of Begotten, the next film in our Art House of Horrors: Presented by MUBI series! 

A mysterious figure known only as God kills himself. From his corpse, Mother Earth emerges. From their union, a Son is born. What follows is a nightmarish cycle of birth, death, violence, and rebirth played out across a barren, otherworldly landscape.

E. Elias Merhige’s Begotten is less a traditional horror film than it is a true cinematic night. Shot in stark black and white, with every frame painstakingly processed to resemble a decaying photograph, the film unfolds without conventional dialogue or narrative. Its haunting imagery is the stuff of avant-garde cinema legend.  A legendary midnight movie experience that has influenced generations of experimental filmmakers and horror artists, Begotten is an unsettling vision of creation itself.
