Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS (1963)
2025-04-04 18:30 - 20:30 (America/Chicago)
BUY TICKETS

“Hitch’s much misappreciated follow-up to Psycho is arguably the greatest of all disaster films — a triumph of special effects, as well as the fountainhead of what has become known as gross-out horror.” – The Village Voice

The master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock followed the smash critical and popular success of his most shocking film to date, Psycho, with an even more sensational stab at abject horror. Based on a novella by Daphne Du Maurier, THE BIRDS pits chic socialite Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren, in her traumatized film debut) against scads of mysteriously murderous avian foes. Hitch juxtaposes the idyllic quietude of the film’s sleepy Northern California seaside locations against the relentless horror of a bird population runs amok. Savaged by critics upon its release, THE BIRDS has come to be recognized as one of the filmmaker’s most enduring fright fests as well as his greatest technical achievements. Featuring Oscar-nominated special effects by animator Ub Iwerks, which deploy matte paintings, composite shots, optical effects, and all-too-real bird attacks, and an eerie music-less soundtrack, Hitchcock’s masterpiece is unsettling whether you’ve seen it a hundred times or never before.

This film is screening as part of Arkadin’s series ANIMALIA MANIA, which spotlights films heavily featuring non-human creatures — some friendly, others deadly.

“A raw and unsettling phantasmagorical vision. A deeply impactful film.” – Severed Cinema

A recovering alcoholic’s journey lurches into a nightmare tailspin during a global crisis. Sober for only a few months, her sanity erodes as the demon in her brain drags her deeper and deeper into a vortex of madness. Directed by legendary underground horror filmmaker Eric Stanze (Ice from the Sun, The Scare Game, Scrapbook). Starring Jackie Kelly (Tennessee Gothic) in a searing lead performance.

“One hell of a ride. I highly recommend this one.” – Horror Society

“Offbeat and original. Jackie Kelly is excellent.” – Film Threat

“Plunges into a nightmare… Isolating in place is a prime scenario for psychological horror… and here it gets tackled with a vengeance. Jackie Kelly goes to some painful emotional places on the way to an ending that diverges significantly from where these kinds of stories usually go.” – Mondo Digital

“Frighteningly relatable. Excellent cinematography. A truly impressive lead performance from (Jackie) Kelly.” – Rock! Shock! Pop!

“Captures the essence of the fever dream perfectly with a mix of jarring visual symbolism and real, raw human angst that escalates with every passing scene.” – Get On My Damn Level

WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE is the first feature film from Freddie Wong and Matthew Arnold, co-founders of RocketJump and co-creators of the cult classic series Video Game High School and podcast Dungeons and Daddies.

In the near future, a towering alien “spike” materializes in Earth’s atmosphere, wreaking havoc. Years later, it’s still around.

Kay Francis & William Powell in JEWEL ROBBERY (1932) presented by Forbidden Hollywood
2025-04-07 19:00 - 21:00
BUY TICKETS

Forbidden Hollywood is a monthly series hosted by STL film critic Katie Carter celebrating the Pre-Code films of the early 1930s, when movies were wild, racy, transgressive, and tons of fun.

With its witty, risqué dialogue, elegant tone, and winking sense of humor, “Jewel Robbery” might easily be mistaken for one of the sparkling comedies of director Ernst Lubitsch. Rather, this 1932 Vienna-set romantic heist movie is Warner Brothers director William Dieterle’s take on the sophisticated continental comedy, starring William Powell as a gentleman thief who steals the heart of Kay Francis’ Teri, a bored baroness who distracts herself from her loveless marriage to an older, wealthy man with expensive jewels and extramarital affairs. An anarchic undercurrent runs throughout “Jewel Robbery,” which thumbs its nose at social conventions and institutions (from marriage to law enforcement) via the sexually-charged relationship between frequent screen team Powell and Francis, who are engaged in more than one kind of illicit behavior. Among the transgressions unique to the film is marijuana use, Powell’s thief distributing “special cigarettes” to his unwitting victims so they will be too high to interfere with his robberies.

From 1929-1931, MGM produced a series of short comedies featuring trained dogs dressed to the nines and dubbed by humans acting out parodies of popular contemporary films. Wildly popular during the early sound era, these “barkies” are still as hilarious (and surreal) as ever.

Classic Horror-Comedy ARACHNOPHOBIA (1990)
2025-04-11 19:00 - 21:00
BUY TICKETS

“Expertly blends horror and tongue-in cheek comedy” – Variety

Produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, ARACHNOPHOBIA brilliantly updated the classic mid-century creature feature for the Goonies generation. Modeled on Hitchcock’s The Birds (also showing this month!), Frank Marshall’s “thrill-omedy” (as it was awkwardly marketed) pits hordes of killer spiders from the jungles of Venezuela against the residents of a sleepy seaside town. Starring Jeff Daniels as a spider-fearing doctor and St. Louis’s own John Goodman as a slobby, incompetent exterminator, ARACHNOPHOBIA is comedy-horror at its most expertly balanced. With an impressive mix of real spiders and animatronic effects, the film is pure delight. As Roger Ebert put it, it’s “the kind of movie where you squirm out of enjoyment, not terror.”

This film is screening as part of Arkadin’s series ANIMALIA MANIA, which spotlights films heavily featuring non-human creatures — some friendly, others deadly.

“One of the most unique and unusual films I have ever seen. It is an absolute must watch for not only lovers of animation, but for any film enthusiast period.” – The Animatorium

One of the world’s first animated features—preceding Disney’s Snow White by several years—THE TALE OF THE FOX is a stop-motion fairy-tale treasure. Produced in France by Polish-born animator Wladyslaw Starewicz, the film is based on the medieval tales of Reynard the Fox, a trickster whom the king orders to be arrested for his wily deceptions. Featuring stunning animation and hugely expressive characters, THE TALE OF THE FOX is little-known in the United States but deserves to be treasured by all lovers of animation.

Come out at 1 pm for a pre-show devoted to the incredible silent shorts of Wladyslaw Starewicz, who made painstaking animations out of dead insects and other creatures.

Eccentric Fairy-Tale Classic DONKEY SKIN (1970)

“It changed my whole life! Combines this beautiful, magical fairy tale world with this very dark and very realistic psychological material.” – Anna Biller, director of THE LOVE WITCH

In this lovingly crafted, wildly eccentric adaptation of a classic French fairy tale by Charles Perrault (Cinderella), Jacques Demy casts the immaculate Catherine Deneuve as a princess who must go into hiding as a scullery maid in order to fend off an unwanted marriage proposal—from her own father, the king (Jean Marais). A topsy-turvy riches-to-rags fable with songs by Michel Legrand, DONKEY SKIN creates a tactile fantasy world that’s perched on the border between the earnest and the satiric, and features Delphine Seyrig in a delicious supporting role as a fashionable fairy godmother.

“Over the top, silly, ludicrous, and ultimately rather powerful” – Through the Shattered Lens

This Good Friday, Arkadin gets religion…Broadway style! We tip our cap to the Christian God the only way we know how, with a bold, boisterous rock opera extravaganza by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR tells the story of Christ’s (Ted Neeley) final weeks entirely through a series of dazzling songs, images and music, focused on Christ’s conflicts with Judas Iscariot (Carl Anderson). Filmed on location in the Middle East, producer-director Norman Jewison’s (Fiddler on the Roof) lavish production is a feast for the eyes and ears and the perfect way to kick off your Easter weekend.

CRITTERS 2: THE MAIN COURSE (1988) -- the definitive Easter horror movie!
2025-04-18 21:15 - 23:00

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.

“We really only need one solid horror movie to celebrate Easter with. One that isn’t afraid to spill some Easter bunny blood. Critters 2: The Main Course is that definitive Easter horror movie.” – Bloody Disgusting

It’s Good Friday, and you know what that means! …oh…you don’t? Well, it’s time for some Easter-themed horror, of course! And what better way to roll into Easter weekend than with the deliciously vicious CRITTERS 2: THE MAIN COURSE! What the original Critters was to Gremlins (a winking, if relatively sober, horror-comedy), CRITTERS 2 is to Gremlins 2 — a deliriously overstuffed sci-fi slapstick spooftacular! Set two years after the first movie (which you need not have seen to enjoy this standalone sequel), the film follows pubescent dork Brad (Scott Grimes) as he resettles in a new town over Easter weekend only to find not all the eggs are for Easter; some hatch furry, fiendish Critters! Directed by horror mainstay Mick Garris (The Stand) and packed with sizzling creature effects by the Chiodo Brothers (Killer Klowns from Outer Space), this movie has it all: intergalactic bounty hunters, PG-13 boobs, a giant fuzzy-yet-deadly Critterball, a surprisingly sympathetic depiction of genderfluidity, and, of course, the greatest Easter Bunny slaying in horror-movie history (see below).

CONCRETE JUNGLE GYM (2024) -- a new documentary about Bob Cassilly and City Museum w/ filmmaker Q&A -- Sold Out!

“While the film’s subject may seem niche, its themes resonate widely, offering a heartfelt look at one man’s mission to reclaim beauty from decay, making it a compelling watch for anyone who values art’s power to reshape and uplift a community.” – ZekeFilm

Artist Bob Cassilly spent years saving and repurposing relics and treasures slated for demolition as cities across the Midwest practiced municipal disinvestment. The sculptor, who previously protected a Michelangelo masterpiece from destruction, transformed art, history, and junk into tunnels, slides and caverns inside of an abandoned ten-story warehouse where he recreated his own unique idea of a city.

Concrete Jungle Gym director Mike Gualdoni will be on hand for a Q&A, along with members of Bob Cassilly’s former crew who now work on SK8 Liborius, a historic abandoned church transformed into a skate park and community center that directly serves the youth in North St. Louis.

All ticket proceeds from this screening benefit SK8 Liborius!

“The most bonkers film I’ve seen in ages. A film about Shibuya streetcats that’s beyond exuberant and ridiculous.” – Karamashi, Letterboxd

Combining adorable street-cat footage, ultra-’80s musical sequences, strange animated interludes, and teen melodrama, CATS ON PARK AVENUE is a singular pop-art fantasia. Amid the winding back alleys of Shibuya, where cats roam the rooftops, a group of young dancers prepare for a stage musical based on those very street cats! Featuring synth-tastic City Pop bangers, such as the self-explanatory “We Love Cats!,” CATS ON PARK AVENUE is a day-glo dream packed with nearly as much candid cat footage as dialogue.

Come out early for a pre-show devoted to everyone’s favorite lasagna-munching Monday-loathing feline, Garfield, starting at 6:30 pm.

This film is screening as part of Arkadin’s series ANIMALIA MANIA, which spotlights films heavily featuring non-human creatures — some friendly, others deadly.

“Revenge is the film we need right now, from a filmmaker we need right now: French writer/director Coralie Fargeat, who makes her stunning feature debut with a rape-revenge fantasy that’s as brutal as it is thrilling.” – Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com

The debut film by Coralie Fargeat, the Oscar-nominated director of The Substance, REVENGE is a blood-soaked, sun-baked thriller with an unrepentantly feminist spin. Jen is enjoying a romantic getaway with her wealthy boyfriend until his two sleazy friends arrive for an unannounced hunting trip. As tension mounts in the house, the situation abruptly and viciously intensifies, culminating in a shocking act that leaves Jen brutalized and left for dead. Unfortunately for her assailants, she survives and soon begins a relentless quest for bloody revenge.

Please choose your donation about when adding your ticket to the cart. Suggested minimum donation is $10. Each donation secures one ticket to the screening. For example, you can submit two $15 donations for two tickets.

Erotic Supernatural Horror CAT PEOPLE (1982)
2025-04-25 19:00 - 21:00
BUY TICKETS

“[A] dark, almost demented vision of embryonic good and evil” – Film-Authority

A remake of the 1942 Jacques Tourneur shadowy classic, Paul Schrader’s CAT PEOPLE is a scintillating exercise in hothouse-horror atmospherics. The film stars Nastassja Kinski in a hypnotic performance as Irena, a beautiful young woman who finds love for the first time with a hunky zookeeper (John Heard). But Irena is haunted by a bizarre family secret that may be tied to a series of killings enacted by a mysterious panther. Filled with surrealist imagery inspired by Jean Cocteau and powered by a throbbing synth score by Giorgio Moroder (including a powerhouse theme song with vocals by David Bowie that was later repurposed for the climactic sequence of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds), Schrader’s erotic fantasy of passion and terrorretains an uncanny power that has made it a cult classic.

Haunting animated rabbit-dystopian classic WATERSHIP DOWN (1978) w/ funny bunnies pre-show @ 2:30 pm

BUY TICKETS

“★★★★★ – a landmark moment in British animation in a fearless adaptation of a Richard Adams novel directed by Martin Rosen, exploring the Homeric themes of conflict, slaughter, genocide and the clash of civilisations, but with rabbits.” – Times (UK)

With this passion project, screenwriter-producer-director Martin Rosen brilliantly achieved what had been thought nearly impossible: a faithful big-screen adaptation of Richard Adams’s classic British dystopian novel about a community of rabbits under terrible threat from modern forces. With its naturalistic hand-drawn animation, dreamily expressionistic touches, gorgeously bucolic background design, and elegant voice work from such superb English actors as John Hurt, Ralph Richardson, Richard Briers, and Denholm Elliott, Watership Down is an emotionally arresting, dark-toned allegory about freedom amid political turmoil.

Come out early for pre-show featuring some less stressed-out rabbits with our Funny Bunnies pre-show at 2:30 pm!

Note: Watership Down contains disturbing imagery not intended for children.

BABE (1995) -- 30th Anniversary!
2025-04-27 15:00 - 17:00
BUY TICKETS

“One of the five greatest family films ever made. Possibly the best. Pure magic.” – Daniel Fienberg

A talking-animal movie that’s not only not stupid but charming, witty, and utterly endearing? Thirty years ago, a little pig and his barnyard buddies proved it was possible! Based on Dick King-Smith’s novel The Sheep-Pig, BABE tells the story of gentle farmer Arthur Hoggett (James Cromwell) wins a piglet (Christine Cavanaugh) at a county fair. Narrowly escaping his fate as Christmas dinner when Farmer Hoggett decides to show him at the next fair, Babe bonds with motherly border collie Fly (Miriam Margolyes) and discovers that he too can herd sheep. But will the other farm animals, including Fly’s jealous husband Rex, accept a pig who doesn’t conform to the farm’s social hierarchy? The rare family film that never condescends to its audience, BABE was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and took home the Oscar for Best Visual Effects — rightfully so, considering the expressive, still-impressive way it makes talking barnyard critters look like the most natural thing in the world.

This screening is fully family-friendly! Come out early for a Porky Pig pre-show starting at 2:30 pm.

M (1931) presented by Dark Dream Cinema -- SOLD OUT!

THIS SCREENING IS SOLD OUT. WAITLIST OPENS 30 MINUTES BEFORE SHOWTIME.

Dark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene, hosted by Michael Morlaine.

“Exceptional performances, packed with social commentary, M is a nail-biting thriller that is brought to life through its expert direction and techniques. A prime example of a must-see classic masterwork that is ahead of its time.” – Kristy Strouse

Berlin is gripped with fear as a child murderer roams its streets, compounding panic with each new victim. Under mounting pressure, police work overtime to crack the case—but when their heightened presence threatens the livelihood of organized crime, the underground syndicate joins in the hunt.

Based on the exploits of the real-life ‘Vampire of Düsseldorf’, Peter Kürten, Fritz Lang’s first sound feature is hailed as the birth of the psychological thriller. Every bit as influential as his silent masterpiece Metropolis, M melds taut crime drama with gripping police procedural, setting the stage for film noir and anticipating everything from Dirty Harry to Zodiac. As the depraved Franz Becker, Peter Lorre set the standard for serial killers on film, tempering his repellence with a pitiful breed of pathos. Join us for a dive into the seedy underbelly of a dark and forbidding world.
