Director’s Cut – Featuring Uncut Gore Footage The dead walk. Society collapses. And humanity proves once again it was the real problem all along. When the recently deceased begin rising with an appetite for human flesh, a group of strangers barricade themselves inside a farmhouse, desperately trying to survive the night. Tensions rise, tempers flare, and survival becomes just as much about fighting each other as it is fighting the creatures trying to claw their way inside. Directed by Tom Savini, this 1990 remake of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD brings Romero’s classic back to life with modern effects, sharper social commentary, and a grimmer, bloodier edge. This Director’s Cut restores previously unseen gore footage, making an already brutal film even more relentless. It’s bleak, it’s savage, and it pulls no punches - proof that the end of the world is loud, messy, and absolutely unforgiving.

Join us every Wednesday at 7:00 as we present a different film from the golden age of Hollywood, complete with classic adverts and episodic serials, all for only $5! All February we'll be celebrating classic romances! In Hepburn’s second Hollywood film she stars as the title character, the daughter of a chauffeur to the Larrabees, a family of tycoons. When Sabrina returns from culinary school in Paris, she catches the eye of David Larrabee (William Holden), the family rakehell. David’s older brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart) catches a whiff of the blossoming romance and realizes it spells disaster for his careful cultivation of the Larrabee dynasty (which involves marrying David off to the daughter of a sugar cane baron). So Linus takes the only sensible action: wooing Sabrina away from his brother. In addition to making great use of all Hepburn’s talents as a leading lady, SABRINA also enlists master director Billy Wilder, who mellows his trademark screwball antics (SOME LIKE IT HOT, THE APARTMENT) into an enlightened romantic comedy.
