SUMMARY:THE THRESHING (2026) -- "Midsommar meets Raw!"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The Threshing is if Midsommar and Raw had a cinematic child. Slowly haunting and brooding\, with an uneasiness always in the air.” – Paul Hibbard\, Hysteria Fest \n\n\n\nIn this slow-burn psychological horror from filmmaker Sean Mannion\, a young couple’s dream of regenerative farming and idyllic mountainside living curdles into increasingly sinister rituals\, spiraling from animal slaughter to self-mutilation and cannibalism. Filmed on a working regenerative farm\, The Threshing reaps a harvest of horrors from its intimate—often insular and cult-like—milieu and the havoc it plays on its characters’ fragile psyches. Exploring issues of ecology\, relationships\, and the systems of belief that allow us to function in this off-kilter world\, The Threshing is as fresh as the daily harvest. \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\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime. You must physically come to the lobby to get your name on the waitlist. Seats are released as they become available. All remaining seats are released at showtime.\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:Whimsical post-apocalyptic cannibalistic black comedy DELICATESSEN (1991)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Funny\, imaginative\, ghoulish and rather beautiful” – The Spectator \n\n\n\nHow to describe Delicatessen? A retro-stylized post-apocalyptic black comedy about cannibalism that’s not only darkly funny but beautiful\, whimsical\, and wildly imaginative as well? It could only have been made by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie). Unemployed circus clown Louison (Dominique Pinon) applies for a job as a handyman at an apartment building in post-apocalyptic France\, unaware that the ad is a ruse to lure people to the apartment where butcher-cum-landlord Clapet slaughters them to feed the apartment’s hungry residents. When Louison falls in love with the butcher’s nebbish daughter (Maire-Laure Dougnac)\, it takes all their wits to escape the knife. Wildly stylish and devilishly clever\, Delicatessen offers pitch-black mordancy with an effervescent touch. \n\n\n\n\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:GAMERA 2: ATTACK OF LEGION (1996)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The greatest kaiju movies ever made!” – Matt Draper \n\n\n\nAfter laying dormant for fifteen years\, Gamera was rebooted for the big screen in a smash hit trilogy masterminded by director Shusuke Kaneko\, writer Kazunori Ito (Ghost in the Shell) and SFX director Shinji Higuchi (who went on to co-direct Shin Godzilla). Trading the campy kid-friendly surrealism of the earlier films for a darker\, more realistic tone and jaw-dropping innovative special effects\, the “Heisei trilogy” are still regarded today as three of the best—if not the very best—kaiju films ever made. This unmissable trio plays on the last three Sundays in September at 3 pm. Each film in the trilogy builds on the previous one but also offers a perfectly satisfying standalone experience! \n\n\n\n\nSept. 13 @ 3 pm — Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995)“Modern monster classic” – Toho KingdomFollowing a long absence from the big screen\, Gamera made a triumphant return to form in time for his 30th anniversary\, with upgraded special effects and a more serious tone. Now a guardian deity\, Gamera tussles with a new incarnation of his old foe—the flying monster Gyaos — first in Fukuoka\, and then in a spectacular aerial battle over Tokyo.\n\n\n\nSept. 20 @ 3 pm — Gamera 2: Attack of Legion (1996)“The kind of sequel that all kaiju films should aspire to be” – Cinematical PenguinOne year after the events of the previous Gamera film\, Earth’s ecosystem is under attack by an insect lifeform from outer space bent on colonizing our world. As the city of Sendai is destroyed\, Gamera must protect the planet from the monster Legion and gets some help from Japan’s Self Defense Forces.\n\n\n\nSept. 27 @ 3 pm — Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris (1999)”The greatest giant monster film ever made” – A.D. VisionAs Gyaos monsters begin to attack Japan again\, a young girl — whose parents died during a previous monster conflict — discovers a new creature called Iris. After merging with the girl\, the trauma-powered Iris seeks revenge on Gamera\, who seems to be losing his patience with humankind.\n\n\n\n\n\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\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:Wild cult comedy classic EATING RAOUL (1982)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A delicious black comedy! Full of laugh-out-loud sick gags and charmingly acted by all.” – Empire \n\n\n\nA sleeper hit of the early 1980s\, Eating Raoul is a bawdy\, gleefully amoral tale of conspicuous consumption. Warhol superstar Mary Woronov and cult legend Paul Bartel (who also directed) portray a prudish married couple—appropriately named the Blands—who feel put upon by the swingers living in their apartment building. One night\, by accident\, they discover a way to simultaneously rid themselves of the “perverts” down the hall and realize their dream of opening a restaurant. A mix of hilarious\, anything-goes slapstick and biting satire of me-generation self-indulgence\, Eating Raoul marked the end of the sexual revolution with a thwack. \n\n\n\n\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:Black comedy horror cult classic MOTEL HELL (1980)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Chicken-fried Sweeney Todd snapping into a Slim Jim…a cult classic…if you want to get into 80s horror and have a lot of laughs along the way — it’s a sausage fest you won’t want to miss.” – Attack of the Drive-In \n\n\n\nIt takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent’s fritters! A creepy and black-comic hilarious horror yarn that “packs a punch that goes way beyond mere terror” (Boxoffice)\, Motel Hell is ’80s cult filmmaking at its finest. Rory Calhoun stars as the psychotic Vincent\, whose popular products contain a special ingredient that the psychotic farmer and his sister (Nancy Parsons) would literally kill to keep a secret! Can you guess what it is? (We bet you can.) Delightfully gruesome\, with an acid tongue firmly in its cheek\, this gleefully schlocky chiller co-stars Cheers and Pixar regular John Ratzenberger as a punk rock drummer and legendary DJ Wolfman Jack as a televangelist. The film also happens to be one of Arkadin co-owner Keith’s mom’s favorite films of all time! Come find out why and see if this cult classic just might be your cup of meat too. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Cannibal Shorts pre-show starting at 6 pm\, featuring a smorgasbord of human meat. \n\n\n\n\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.

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“Genuinely revolting! Mixes glossy arthouse visuals with satirically sickening Category III sleaze” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nIn this wild\, disturbing and darkly funny Hong Kong horror tale\, an ex-starlet (Miriam Yeung) who is now the trophy wife of a rich businessman is desperate to regain her fast-fading youth.

When you find out\, you may never wanted to have dim sum ever again. Expanded from a short segment in the compilation film Three… Extremes\, Dumplings is a biting satire of beauty care and aging that makes The Substance look like Candy Land. It’s also best enjoyed on an empty stomach… \n\n\n\n\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:CANIBA (2017) presented by Lost in the Arthouse
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“I had\, so to speak\, seen it all. And then I saw Caniba.” – John Semley\, The Globe & Mail \n\n\n\nA hugely controversial documentary from the pioneering filmmakers behind the also-incredible Leviathan\, Caniba just might be the scariest movie ever made. It’s certainly one of the most intimate and unrelenting explorations of human depravity ever captured onscreen. Filmed primarily in intense close-ups that practically burrow into its subject’s flesh\, Caniba is a portrait of the notorious criminal Issei Sagawa\, who\, as a 32-year-old student at the Sorbonne in Paris\, murdered his Dutch classmate\, Renée Hartevelt\, and began eating her body. Sagawa was convicted of his crimes in France\, but through some legal loopholes\, he soon was allowed to return back to his home country of Japan where he lived for decades as a free man\, making his living by writing novels\, drawing manga\, and appearing in innumerable documentaries and sexploitation films in which he reenacted his crime.  \n\n\n\nDirectors Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor explore the outer limits of human behavior through Sagawa’s mysterious relationship with his brother. In a twist reminiscent of Terry Zwigoff’s Crumb\, it turns out Sagawa may not be the most disturbed person in his own family. Disturbing\, darkly funny\, and completely unforgettable\, Caniba provides an uncomfortable intimacy with a man most would regard as a monster\, one who has transgressed the fundamental taboo. The film refuses to provide easy judgments or simple resolutions\, allowing us—or perhaps forcing us—to marinate in our own shared humanity. \n\n\n\n\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:GAMERA 3: REVENGE OF IRIS (1999)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The greatest kaiju movies ever made!” – Matt Draper \n\n\n\nAfter laying dormant for fifteen years\, Gamera was rebooted for the big screen in a smash hit trilogy masterminded by director Shusuke Kaneko\, writer Kazunori Ito (Ghost in the Shell) and SFX director Shinji Higuchi (who went on to co-direct Shin Godzilla). Trading the campy kid-friendly surrealism of the earlier films for a darker\, more realistic tone and jaw-dropping innovative special effects\, the “Heisei trilogy” are still regarded today as three of the best—if not the very best—kaiju films ever made. This unmissable trio plays on the last three Sundays in September at 3 pm. Each film in the trilogy builds on the previous one but also offers a perfectly satisfying standalone experience! \n\n\n\n\nSept. 13 @ 3 pm — Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995)“Modern monster classic” – Toho KingdomFollowing a long absence from the big screen\, Gamera made a triumphant return to form in time for his 30th anniversary\, with upgraded special effects and a more serious tone. Now a guardian deity\, Gamera tussles with a new incarnation of his old foe—the flying monster Gyaos — first in Fukuoka\, and then in a spectacular aerial battle over Tokyo.\n\n\n\nSept. 20 @ 3 pm — Gamera 2: Attack of Legion (1996)“The kind of sequel that all kaiju films should aspire to be” – Cinematical PenguinOne year after the events of the previous Gamera film\, Earth’s ecosystem is under attack by an insect lifeform from outer space bent on colonizing our world. As the city of Sendai is destroyed\, Gamera must protect the planet from the monster Legion and gets some help from Japan’s Self Defense Forces.\n\n\n\nSept. 27 @ 3 pm — Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris (1999)”The greatest giant monster film ever made” – A.D. VisionAs Gyaos monsters begin to attack Japan again\, a young girl — whose parents died during a previous monster conflict — discovers a new creature called Iris. After merging with the girl\, the trauma-powered Iris seeks revenge on Gamera\, who seems to be losing his patience with humankind.\n\n\n\n\n\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\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:Mystery/sci-fi mind bender DEAD MOUNTAINEER'S HOTEL (1979)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A surreal genre mash-up that opens like an Agatha Christie-style locked-room mystery before shifting gears during its last act to an otherworldly bit of sci-fi strangeness.“ – Slant Magazine \n\n\n\nA dazzling\, paranoid mixture of locked-room mystery\, 1970s Euro giallo\, classic noir whodunit\, and (unbelievably) alien sci-fi\, Dead Mountaineer’s Hotel is a mountainside mind bender with immaculate late-night Eastern Bloc vibes. Based on a novel by famed Soviet authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (whose novel Roadside Picnic provided the basis for Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker)\, the hall-of-mirrors plot follows police inspector Glebsky as he’s trapped by avalanche in the eponymous ski lodge with a rogues’ gallery of weird suspects:  tubercular gangster Hinckus\, creepy hotel owner Snewahr\, a wall-climbing physicist\, a louche beauty out of a Bryan Ferry song – oh – and the Dead Mountaineer’s faithful St. Bernard.  The interior of the hotel is straight out of a Dario Argento thriller: all chrome-and-marble with Space Age modern designs\, drenched in champagne and feather boas.  Featuring a stellar electronica / prog score by composer Sven Grünberg\, the film combines an eerie The Shining-like mountain locale with speculative sci-fi straight out of Chariots of the Gods.    \n\n\n\nNewly restored in 4K by Deaf Crocodile in collaboration with the Estonian Film Institute and Film Archive.  In Estonian with English subtitles. \n\n\n\nOTHER WORLDS brings you to strange new realms through science fiction and fantasy. Featuring classics\, hidden gems\, and cult favorites\, this series offers a mind-bending retreat from our mundane reality. \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.
