(John Flynn, US 1977, 99 min., 35mm)

William Devane stars as a Vietnam vet who returns from several years as a POW only to have a brutal gang of thieves slaughter his family and remove his hand in a kitchen sink trash disposal! Newly equipped with a deadly hook, he teams up with a buddy (Tommy Lee Jones) and heads south of the border looking for a little payback. Powerfully written by Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver), this violent shocker is one of Quentin Tarantino’s avowed favorites. Followed by a selection of choice trailers

(LE NOTTI DEL TERRORE, Andrea Bianchi, Italy 1981, 86 min., 35mm)

Hilariously dubbed in English, this gory zombie gem shows what happens when a nosy professor opens up a long-sealed crypt. Soon, walking rotting corpses are ripping apart the flesh of a group of high-society partygoers in a nearby villa. Two films for one admission price.
