2025 is here and VHSANDCHILL OKC is resurrecting one of our classic screening series from days past - VHS GRINDHOUSE is back!
VHS GRINDHOUSE is a series of classic films that may or may not be the greatest films ever made! This VHS delights are pulled straight from the VHSANDCHILL OKC collection. Movies that DESERVE their day in court for the crimes committed TO them or BY them! These films will scream from the heavens the madness that is their message!
In the spring of 1995, director Rachel Talalay (Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare) tried to bring us a vision that we were not ready for. This was a comic book adaptation like no other. The source material is so hallowed and an absolute jumble of genres and metafiction, that she may as well had tried to touch the sun. This film stood no chance at the 90's box office. Opening alongside movies like Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump. This psychedelic punk, anti-establishment opus was just ahead of its time.
So here, in the magical future year of 2024, we will gather in a small independent bookstore and bath ourselves in a killer soundtrack and bare witness to simple story - about a girl and her tank.
Starring Lori Petty, Naomi Watts, Malcom, McDowell, and Ice-T as a supersolder created from human and kangaroo DNA named T-Saint (I kid you not!)
"Look, if you want to torture me, spank me, lick me, do it. But if this poetry shit continues, shoot me now, please."
