SUMMARY:FRANKENHOOKER (1990) -- Friday Night WTF!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday 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. \n\n\n\n“If you only see one movie this year\, it should be Frankenhooker” – Bill Murray \n\n\n\nAfter making horror history with Basket Case and Brain Damage\, the incomparable Frank Henenlotter unleashed FRANKENHOOKER—the goriest\, goofiest\, all-time greatest bastardization of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein you’ll ever see. After accidentally murdering the love of his life\, Jeffrey Franken decides to reanimate her with the help of a drug named Supercrack…and the body parts of a dozen streetwalkers. Like a twisted mash-up of John Waters’s Serial Mom and Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator\, FRANKENHOOKER is a bad-taste triumph that revels in sublime camp\, gloopy gore\, and neon-soaked dreamscapes. Plus a perfectly pitched comedic turn by Penthouse Pet Patty Mullen as the title character. It’s everything a late-night WTF movie should be! \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films. Information about content can also be found on Common Sense Media\, IMDB and DoesTheDogDie.com\, as well as through general internet searches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+. We follow the MPAA rating guidelines for all other films.\n\n\n\nTickets can be purchased using the BUY TICKETS link above. Upon ordering\, you will receive a confirmation email from Square. Tickets may also be purchased on the day of the show at the concession counter.\n\n\n\nIf you’ve purchased advance tickets\, when you arrive\, please give your name at the concession counter to check in. \n\n\n\nTickets are returnable by sending a request through the contact form located on our About Us page prior to showtime.\n\n\n\nWhen an event is sold out\, we reserve the right to release open seats to customers on the waitlist. If you have a pre-purchased ticket and arrive late and there is no seat for you\, your ticket will be refunded.\n\n\n\nAll screenings are held in our indoor theater unless indicated otherwise in the event description above.\n\n\n\nPlease respect your fellow movie-goers by remaining quiet and refraining from using your cell phone throughout the screening.

As he digs further into his investigation\, he becomes more and more obsessed with her. The search leads him through the gutters of society; the perverted counter-culture\, the ruthless street gangs\, and the all-night sex bars where anything goes.

SUMMARY:WORLD WIDE MAGAZINE: 40th Anniversary screening of the 1st episode (Every Day I Use Up A Year’s Worth Of Luck) -- 314 Day!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn celebration of 314 Day in St. Louis\, Jim Varagona of The Pete Parisi Archives will introduce this screening of the very first episode of WORLD WIDE MAGAZINE!  \n\n\n\n2026 marks 40 years since WWM debuted on public access television in St. Louis. While the show became known for its cast of characters\, the early episodes were centered on Pete\, the people that he’d meet\, and the goofy things he’d do. When he first submitted some “movies” that he’d made to STL Cable\, there was no WORLD WIDE MAGAZINE. Episode 1 is entitled Every Day I Use Up A Year’s Worth Of Luck. You’ll see Pete\, the cabbie\, taking his cab around town and interacting with riders. You will see his girlfriend Denise\, who helps him deliver some jokes. The fun of this episode\, aside from Pete’s playful personality early on\, is in seeing the characters that he interacts with\, not knowing they’d end up on TV\, and the places that he goes to that are no more\, like Famous Barr\, the Coral Court Motel\, National supermarket\, and Kroger (yes\, it used to be in St. Louis!). \n\n\n\nWorld Wide Magazine was a public access television program that ran in St. Louis from 1986-2001. Its creator was Peter Parisi who had a previous life in St. Louis radio before the show. The show is a variety of man-on-the-street segments\, goofy skits\, and a collective of colorful characters that gathered around Pete as the years went by. It is weird\, funny\, edgy\, and offensive\, but undoubtedly unforgettable. Since Parisi passed in 2002\, it has gained an additional following from its growing archives on YouTube. \n\n\n\nWe hope to have several members of the cast in attendance for some Q & A.  \n\n\n\nAll ticket sales go support the further digitization of shows from the archive. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+. We follow the MPAA rating guidelines for all other films.\n\n\n\nTickets can be purchased using the BUY TICKETS link above. Upon ordering\, you will receive a confirmation email from Square. Tickets may also be purchased on the day of the show at the concession counter.\n\n\n\nIf you’ve purchased advance tickets\, when you arrive\, please give your name at the concession counter to check in. \n\n\n\nTickets are returnable by sending a request through the contact form located on our About Us page prior to showtime.\n\n\n\nWhen an event is sold out\, we reserve the right to release open seats to customers on the waitlist.

SUMMARY:Irish Folk Horror FRÉWAKA (2024) -- 𝔉𝔬𝔩𝔨 ℌ𝔬𝔯𝔯𝔬𝔯 𝔄𝔯𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔡 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔚𝔬𝔯𝔩𝔡
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It’s the mythical and political Irish context of “Fréwaka” that makes it stick\, as it draws on lingering national guilt over the iniquities of the Magdalene laundries\, and twists deep-seated folk imagery into uncanny nightmare fuel.” – Variety \n\n\n\nGet ready for St. Patty’s Day with this terrifying slice of folk horror madness imported straight from the Emerald Isle. Written and director by Aislinn Clarke\, FRÉWAKA incorporates Celtic folklore\, generational trauma and the malfeasance of the Catholic Church into an atmospheric haunted-house tale infused with occult horror and told primarily in the Irish language. The film follows home care worker Shoo (Clare Monnelly)\, who\, haunted by a personal tragedy\, leaves her pregnant girlfriend to care for Peig (Bríd Ní Neachtain)\, a cantankerous old woman who has incarcerated herself in a big house on the edge of a remote village. Peig fears the neighbors as much as she fears na sídhe—sinister entities whom she believes abducted her on her wedding night decades earlier. As the two develop a deep connection\, Shoo is infected by the old woman’s paranoia\, rituals\, and superstitions\, eventually confronting the horrors of her own past. With echoes of the insular traditionalism of Midsommar and the devilish goat figure of The Witch\, Clarke’s haunting folk is deftly woven through with contemporary concerns about mental health\, inherited trauma\, and the fraught realm of motherhood. \n\n\n\nIn Irish and English\, with English subtitles. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening in Arkadin’s April 2026 Sunday Series on WOMEN DIRECTORS\, featuring a selection of unusual\, rarely screened works from female filmmakers. \n\n\n\nEach month\, Arkadin presents a selection of FOLK HORROR AROUND THE WORLD\, creepy folktales from all corner of the globe to give you the Sunday scaries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films. Information about content can also be found on Common Sense Media\, IMDB and DoesTheDogDie.com\, as well as through general internet searches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD (2000)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“[T]he Gaelic gargoyle becomes a blunt-smoking\, boot-knocking playa with a couple of grudges to settle… Bloody\, broad\, and comically brutal\, it’s blaxploitation at its best.” – Entertainment Weekly \n\n\n\nIf it’s St. Patrick’s Day\, that means it’s Leprechaun Day at Arkadin! We continue our annual tradition of screening each increasing absurd entry in the silliest slasher series of them all with the most outrageous entry yet—LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD. Our favorite tiny Irish terror has been to Vegas\, he’s gone to space\, but you’ve never seen him like this: rampaging through South Central\, making his mark on the hip hop game after a trio of aspiring rappers accidentally steal his magic flute. Warwick Davis chews all the scenery in sight once more as the rhyme-spitting diminutive demon\, and Ice-T co-stars as music mogul Mack Daddy O’Nassas. It’s all as absurd\, bloody\, and unhinged as you’d hope for\, a priceless direct-to-video treasure from a bygone era of gleeful bad taste. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:EX MACHINA (2014) w/ robot tales pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Plays like Frankenstein meets Blade Runner via Hitchcock…highly literate and steeped in tense cat-and-mouse chills.” – Total Film \n\n\n\nA stylish and cerebral thriller\, EX MACHINA remains one of the most singular and prescient sci-fi films of the 21st century. Written and directed by Alex Garland (Civil War\, Men)\, the film stars Domhnall Gleeson as Caleb\, a programmer an a major tech company who wins a competition to spend a week at the mountain estate of the company’s brilliant and reclusive CEO\, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac\, absolutely relishing his chance to play a villain)\, only to find there are ulterior motives. Namely\, Caleb must administer a Turing Test to Nathan’s female humanoid robot (played with uncanny iciness by Alicia Vikander). Tense\, claustrophobic\, and full of shocking twists\, EX MACHINA taps into our collective fears around AI\, while also exploring themes of gender\, class\, and power—all while remaining darkly funny\, visually stunning (the film won a well-deserved Oscar for Best Visual Effects) and absolutely gripping. EX MACHINA updates the Frankenstein mythos for the near future\, in the process revealing how timely Mary Shelley’s novel remains. \n\n\n\nBefore the film\, we’ll have a pre-show full of short films about robots\, starting at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The greatest\, wittiest and most eccentric of all classic horror films” – Orlando Sentinel \n\n\n\nOne of the rare sequels that’s the better than the original and true work of art that stands entirely on its own\, THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN remains one of the most beloved horror films of all time. James Whale steps behind the camera once again\, and Boris Karloff lurches before it as the silver screen’s most misunderstood monster. The film picks up where Frankenstein left off\, with the Monster alive and yearning for connection. Whale embraces the expressionist style and emotional weirdness of the story\, while injecting a deliciously camp sense of humor all his own. Dr. Frankenstein is coerced into making a mate\, played in a brief but iconic appearance by Elsa Lanchester\, who also portrays Mary Shelley. The result is a gothic fable about loneliness\, creation\, and the terror of being misunderstood\, elevated by Karloff’s soulful performance\, Lanchester’s electric presence\, and Whale’s sharp\, eccentric direction. \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films. Information about content can also be found on Common Sense Media\, IMDB and DoesTheDogDie.com\, as well as through general internet searches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:BRIDE OF CHUCKY (1998) -- Friday Night WTF!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday 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. \n\n\n\n“Sick and wrong in all the right ways!” – Austin Chronicle \n\n\n\nChucky gets lucky! The film that revitalized the Child’s Play franchise by ditching any pretense of serious horror and diving deep into gleeful blood-splattered camp. Chucky (Brad Dourif) gets resurrected by his deranged ex\, Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly\, in an iconic performance)\, only for the two of them to end up trapped in doll bodies\, bickering like a homicidal screwball couple. What follows is a road‑trip slasher laced with black comedy\, meta winks\, and Tilly stealing every scene with wicked charm. Directed by Hong Kong action legend Ronny Yu and featuring a pre-Grey’s Anatomy Katherine Heigl\, BRIDE OF CHUCKY is trashy\, silly\, and utterly delightful.  If you’ve never seen Chucky rock out to some White Zombie\, you haven’t lived. \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Weird\, wild erotic thriller ANYTHING THAT MOVES (2025) + live Q&A w/ director Alex Phillips
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Weird…very funny…sex positive…John Waters would be proud.” – In Review Online \n\n\n\nAn avant-gutter psychedelic dream from STL-raised filmmaker Alex Phillips\, the madman behind All Jacked Up and Full of Worms\, ANYTHING THAT MOVES is an erotically charged\, blood-soaked thriller set in the sticky corridors of Chicago. Shot on fleshy Super 16mm\, director Alex Phillips’ rust belt giallo continues on his trajectory of taboo-shattering horror cinema with this tense\, funny\, and absolutely twisted murder mystery. The film follows nubile sex worker Liam who bikes with his girlfriend—his partner in both business and pleasure—through the city delivering snacks and divine satisfaction to his love-hungry clients. Meanwhile\, a serial killer’s gory murders are piling up and all the evidence seems to point back to the lover’s bed… Produced in collaboration with cult home video outfit Vinegar Syndrome\, the film features stand-out supporting performances from erotic film legends Ginger Lynn and Nina Hartley. With an original instrumental score by Chicago-based artists Cue Shop calling to mind the lush orchestrations of Bruno Nicolai and lurid visuals by acclaimed cinematographer Hunter Zimny\, ANYTHING THAT MOVES provides an immersive throwback to 70s exploitation flicks. \n\n\n\nPLUS after the film we’ll have an in-person Q&A with St. Louis-raised director Alex Phillips! \n\n\n\n“One of the sexiest movies of 2025! And now for something completely insane… It’s never boring and occasionally beautiful\, like during one of those incestuous three-ways that takes place at a club under an endlessly changing array of rainbow lights.” – Esquire \n\n\n\n“Chaotic\, raunchy\, and weirdly sweet for its bursts of violence. Sure\, there’s a serial killer on the loose\, but there’s also a purity of heart in Liam’s embrace of sexual freedom\, and the solidarity of those who join him on their kink-friendly journeys.” – RogerEbert.com \n\n\n\n“★★★★½  Alex Phillips’ follow-up to the unforgettable All Jacked Up And Full Of Worms is a love letter to [vintage pornography] as much as it is a spoof.” – Eye on Film \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Agnès Varda's ONE SINGS\, THE OTHER DOESN'T (1977) presented by Girlhood
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGirlhood is a semi-regular series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Sarah Baraba that spotlights stories of sisterhood on the silver screen. \n\n\n\n“The film\, a sort-of musical about the decade-spanning friendship between two women… [is] a gift of hope for future generations of women.” – Reverse Shot \n\n\n\nIn the early 1960s in Paris\, two young women become friends. Pomme is an aspiring singer. Suzanne is a pregnant country girl unable to support a third child. Pomme lends Suzanne the money for an illegal abortion\, but a sudden tragedy soon separates them. Ten years later\, they reunite at a demonstration and pledge to keep in touch via postcard\, as each of their lives is irrevocably changed by the women’s liberation movement. A buoyant hymn to sisterly solidarity rooted in the hard-won victories of a generation of women\, One Sings\, the Other Doesn’t is one of Agnès Varda’s warmest and most politically trenchant films\, a feminist musical for the ages. \n\n\n\nA portion of this event’s proceeds will be donated to Missouri Abortion Fund. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Ken Russell's GOTHIC (1989) w/ psychedelic horror pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“[A] hallucinatory psychodrama of the creative process… [Ken] Russell’s exuberant style is perfectly suited to a libertine story which finds entirely visual means for showing the complex\, often grotesque workings of an author’s imagination. It is a reflexive orgy of future horrors.” – Projected Figures \n\n\n\nAs a storm rages outside\, Lord Byron and his guests conjure up their deepest fears by means of a séance in this wild imagining of the origins of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Directed by cult favorite Ken Russell (The Devils\, The Lair of the White Worm) and celebrating its 40th anniversary\, GOTHIC plunges us into an orgy of surrealistic horror. Starring Natasha Richardson as Mary Shelley (née Godwin)\, the late Julian Sands as the legendary poet Percy Bysshe Shelley\, and Timothy Spall as the reclusive Lord Byron\, GOTHIC is an explosive horror-drama in which the devilish\, omnisexual Byron leads his crew of aesthetes in a laudanum-assisted night of playful games and erotically charged rituals. The poets and artists are “beckoning the spark of creation” for a storytelling contest in a castle full of gothic props – cobwebs\, skulls\, suits of armor\, automata\, mirrors\, a mask\, a goat and a snake. Traumas are triggered\, nightmares come to life\, and visions of future doom dance in the night as a tripping\, terrified Mary will be galvanized into merging her past grief and present panic into one of the greatest horror stories ever told. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Psychedelic Horror pre-show starting at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films.

SUMMARY:POOR THINGS (2023)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An instant classic! Mordantly funny\, whimsical and wacky.” – IndieWire \n\n\n\nThe partnership between Emma Stone and Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos has been a true gift to film lovers with a taste for the offbeat and unhinged\, and perhaps no film exemplifies their ability to turn bizarre concepts into cracking entertainment better than POOR THINGS. An adaptation of Scottish writer Alasdair Gray’s landmark novel\, POOR THINGS twists the classic Frankenstein story into a tale of sexual liberation and feminist subversion. Stone plays Bella Baxter\, a young woman brought back to life by an eccentric scientist (Willem Dafoe)\, who implants her own unborn child’s brain into her body. As she grows up all over again\, Bella satiates a thirst for knowledge and experience that leads her to intellectual\, sexual\, and political escapades that span continents. Told with surreal whimsy worthy of Tim Burton\, POOR THINGS is a fever dream with an epic scope. \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:THE SPIRIT OF BEEHIVE (1973) ᴘʀᴇꜱᴇɴᴛᴇᴅ ʙʏ ʟᴏꜱᴛ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʀᴛʜᴏᴜꜱᴇ
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Keith Watson that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered\, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge. \n\n\n\n“Close to magic. It is one of the most beautiful and arresting films ever made in Spain\, or anywhere.” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nWidely regarded as one of world cinema’s most magnificent achievements—it’s no accident that it ranked in the top 100 in Sight & Sound‘s prestigious 2022 “greatest films” poll—Victor Erice’s THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE is a spellbinding masterpiece about the immersive power of cinema. Set in a small Castilian village in 1940\, in the wake of the devastating Spanish Civil War\, six-year-old Ana (Ana Torrent\, in what is easily the most tender film performance ever given by a young child) attends a traveling movie show of the 1931 classic Frankenstein and becomes possessed by the experience of it. blurring her understanding of art\, mortality\, and violence. Produced as Franco’s long regime was nearing its end\, THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE is a bewitching portrait of a child’s haunted inner life and one of the most visually arresting movies ever made\, a work of darkly lyrical beauty with a touch of magical-realist horror. …And it also happens to be the perfect arthouse accompaniment to Arkadin’s month-long exploration of Female Frankensteins! \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun?

SUMMARY:NUMBSKULL REVOLUTION (2026) -- the new film from punk rock madman Jon Moritsugu
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA PUNK ROCK BLADE RUNNER FOR ARTISTS FROM LEGENDARY PROVOCATEUR JON MORITSUGU! \n\n\n\nWith raucous\, three-chord cinematic bangers such as Terminal USA (1993) and Mod Fuck Explosion (1994)—both of which played at Arkadin in 2023—the Godfather of Punk Cinema\, filmmaker\, punk rocker\, Asiansploitation progenitor\, and all-around madman Jon Moritsugu defined the trashy\, rough-hewn DIY aesthetic of 1990s underground filmmaking. Arkadin is thrilled to welcome Moritsugu’s work back with the area premiere of his new film\, NUMBSKULL REVOLUTION! Moritsugu’s first feature in over a decade\, NUMBSKULL was created with longtime collaborator and ex-wife\, Amy Davis\, who co-stars as Cucumber Montgomery\, alongside James Duval as Futurcide\, a pair of rival conceptual artists battling for fame and funding in the near-future dystopia of Shitville\, pop. 999.8 billion. As one ascends the heights of neoliberal capitalist success\, the other seeks inspiration and solace in the euphoric waves of a new cyber-drug called Skullfuck. Embracing chaotic digital artificiality in a style reminiscent of Vera Drew’s The People’s Joker\, NUMBSKULL combine ingenious production design and savvy location shooting to evoke the urban sprawl and rural industrial collapse against which Mortisugu frames this scathing satire of art world pretension. (adapted from UCLA note written by Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“One of the most provocative films I’ve seen about the complications of being female in the modern world” – Roger Ebert \n\n\n\nIn her US film debut\, Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton stars as Eve Stephens\, a bi-sexual lawyer on the edge of professional breakthrough\, personal breakdown\, and sexual awakening in this erotic psychological drama. Inspired by Louise Kaplan’s psychoanalytic study Female Perversions: The Temptations of Emma Bovary\, Susan Streitman’s film is an inspired amalgamation of erotic drama and psychological thriller in which Eve tries (and often fails) to juggle professional demands\, personal desires\, and her strained relationship with her kleptomaniac sister (Amy Madigan\, nominated for an Academy Award this year for her powerhouse performance in Weapons). Shocking when it was first released in 1996 and now rightfully considered feminist classic as it celebrates its 30th anniversary\, FEMALE PERVERSIONS has presented in a sumptuous new 4K restoration. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening in Arkadin’s April 2026 Sunday Series on WOMEN DIRECTORS\, featuring a selection of unusual\, rarely screened works from female filmmakers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Jan Švankmajer's ALICE (1988) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene\, hosted by Michael Morlaine. \n\n\n\n“It’s experimental\, unusual\, a little mad\, and definitely not an Alice adaptation to show the kids. Unless you want to give them nightmares for weeks.” – Joe’s Horror Reviews \n\n\n\nThe dark heart of Alice in Wonderland was never more faithfully captured than by stop-motion maestro Jan Švankmajer\, who rendered its well-worn imagery into a startling new vision. By animating an array of found items—including raw meat\, taxidermy\, porcelain dolls\, and playing cards—Švankmajer crafted a Wonderland all his own\, a haunting realm of fantastic sights and disturbing juxtapositions. Hailed as a landmark of modern animation\, Alice blends the imagination of Lewis Carroll with the grotesquerie of Joel-Peter Witkin to produce an experience like no other. A truly singular work of art\, it offers a glimpse into another world\, one of joyful terrors that cavort amidst death and decay. \n\n\n\nArrive early for a preshow of spooky stop-motion from around the world\, starting at 6pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films.

SUMMARY:MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN (1979) w/ Monty Python pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An unholy work of satirical genius…MONTY PYTHON’S LIFE OF BRIAN still stands up as an amazing achievement\, the Pythons’ masterpiece: a 90-minute sketch elevated to an entirely consistent\, hugely audacious and ambitious film.” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nThis Good Friday\, enjoy a biting satire of religious dogma that is\, at its heart\, a stirring paean to tolerance. While perhaps not quite as popular as Holy Grail\, LIFE OF BRIAN is Monty Python’s true masterpiece—an inspired\, brilliant\, send-up of the blockbuster biblical epic that raised the hackles of Christian fundamentalists the world over when it was first released but has gone on to be recognized as one of the greatest comedy films ever made. In a stable in ancient Jerusalem\, a child is born—a child who will grow up to be … Brian (Graham Chapman)\, an ordinary Judean who goes on to live an extraordinary life\, entangled in a plot to overthrow the Roman empire and mistaken for the Messiah\, among other unlikely events. Featuring ribald Roman puns\, sharp political commentary\, and an audacious crucifixion-themed musical number\, the Pythons’ most ambitious film is a hilarious lampooning of blind faith in which nothing is sacred. \n\n\n\nCome out before the film for a Monty Python pre-show starting at 6 pm! \n\n\n\nThis Good Friday\, the Easter Bunny has dropped off a couple of Easter Eggs: Monty Python’s Life of Brian and Donnie Darko. Pick up a ticket and put it in your basket before they’re all gone! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.
