KILLER SWEETHEARTS:
A TOXIC VALENTINES DAY DOUBLE FEATURE

7pm: GUN CRAZY (X)
Joseph H. Lewis, 1950, USA

A horned-up, pulpy, razor-sharp B-movie noir masterpiece, and favourite of Martin Scorsese.

Bart Tare is an ex-Army man who has a lifelong fixation with guns, he meets a kindred spirit in sharpshooter Annie Starr and goes to work at a carnival. After upsetting the carnival owner who lusts after Starr, they both get fired. Soon, on Starr’s behest, they embark on a crime spree for cash.

87 mins, Cert: PG (originally X)

8.45pm: VIDEO MIXTAPE

9.15pm: BLONDE DEATH (18)
James Dillinger, 1984, USA
Presented on VHS

Shot for $2000 on video by “James Dillinger” (aka author James Robert Baker) BLONDE DEATH is a savage blast of underground anarchy.

The story follows the transformation of Tammy Lynn Beaverdorf (Sara Lee Wade) from bubbly teen to death-tripping speed freak—an in-your-face rampage of sex, drugs, and violence that climaxes with scenes that were secretly filmed inside Disneyland. Satiric, subversive, and gleefully enraged, BLONDE DEATH is an essential chapter of queer cinema history.

98 mins, Cert: 18
