Down in Front! presents Blood Rage!
Friday, November 8 at 9:30pm(ish)
“...so awful that it may cause your ears to bleed. A true Thanksgiving turkey.”
-tomgillespie2002, imdb.com
This month, the DIF riffers take on BLOOD RAGE, one of the most beloved (?) Thanksgiving slasher films of all time!
Perhaps the mother of the "WHICH ONE IS THE EVIL TWIN?" trope, BLOOD RAGE tells the story of identical twins, one of which commits MURDER! Twin A frames Twin B, Twin B goes to an asylum, and everyone lives happily ever after...
OR DO THEY??
BLOOD RAGE features terrible dialogue, plastic acting, and some imaginative violence against teenagers per most 20th century slashers.
With your good friends (?) Matthew, Stuart, Jennie, and special guest star Toby Bradbury, you'll take in this giant flaming garbage dumpster of a film with some liquid courage from the crew at Zeroday Outpost.
See you Friday, folks!

Summer of Soul
2021 | PG-13 | 117 min
In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary-part music film, part historical record created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just one hundred miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park).
The footage was never seen and largely forgotten--until now.
SUMMER OF SOUL shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present. The feature includes never-before-seen concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Ray Baretto, Abbey Lincoln & Max Roach and more.
