Friday Night WTF screenings are cheap, weird, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night.

“WILL MELT YOU BRAIN…builds and builds and finally unloads on you in its almost pornographic excess. It hits you hard and it keeps hitting you until its finally all over – and you’re all the better for it. Highly Recommended – but you were warned.” –DVD Talk

Shozin Fukui’s Pinocchio 964 depicts the nightmarish journey of a discarded cybernetic sex android that is expelled from a brothel and left to fend for himself. Aimlessly wandering around the city, Pinocchio meets Kyoto, an amnesiac homeless girl with a horrible secret of her own. Together, they try to piece together their past lives and survive in a cruel, brutal hellscape. At the same time, Pinocchio’s fiendish creators search desperately to find their lost prototype android before the public and authorities discover him! As agents pursue Pinocchio, his frantic escape morphs into a mind-warping hallucinogenic thrill ride!

Be prepared! Shozin Fukui’s masterful direction provides the viewer with a totally unique experience along the lines of Tetsuo: The Iron Man. This subversive underground classic packed the theaters in Japan where it was hailed as an innovative masterpiece!
