Puppet Horror Film ABRUPTIO — New Release Only at Arkadin!
November 22 : 8:30 pm – 10:15 pm
“One of 10 great horror films of the decade so far. A schizophrenic skedaddle from reality…ending with one hell of a hangover. The ensuing cavalcade of unease and wrong disturbs and repels, both in equal measure, and in the best possible way.” -Anton Bitel
A surrealistic horror thriller performed by lifelike puppets, ABRUPTIO is the first of its kind. Featuring the voices of James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Jordan Peele (Get Out, Nope), Hana Mae Lee (Pitch Perfect), Christopher McDonald (Happy Gilmore) and Sid Haig (The Devil’s Rejects), Evan Marlowe’s totally original film follows lifeless drone Les Hackel (Marsters) who wakes to find an explosive device implanted in his neck. To prevent the bomb from killing him, Les is forced to carry out heinous crimes. Meanwhile, he tries find the mastermind behind this deadly plot, though the world around him is turning strange and twisted. With Lynchian unease and Kafkaesque absurdism, Marlowe brings his audience deep into the uncanny valley between dream and reality in a film that is unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
