"ANIMALS ATTACKING HUMANS"
Five-Film Feast!
SATURday, JULY 19, 2008
at The Castro Movie theatre in San Francisco,
CA.
It
seems
that
animals
are
fighting
back
all
around
the
globe,
everything
from
sharks
attacking
surfers,
ants
infiltrating
computers
and
tigers
jumping
walls
at
the
zoo.
The
genre
may
have
started
in
1963
with
Alfred
Hitchcock's
THE
BIRDS,
this
all
day
five-film-feast
is
not
only
a
tribute
to
the
bloody-fanged
genre,
it's
a
reminder
that
animals
are
still
alive
and
biting
back!
3:00pm - PHASE IV (1974)
Directed
by
Saul
Bass,
Written
by
Mayo
Simo,
Containing:
Michael
Murphy
Cerebral
science
fiction
doesn't
get
any
better
than
this
70s
psychadelic
scarefest.
A
group
of
scientists
are
attacked
in
their
remote
desert
lab
by
an
army
of
super-smart
ants.
Graphic
artist
Saul
Bass
worked
for
months
creating
the
film's
one-of-a-kind
art
design,
emphasizing
the
unique
tunnels
of
real
ants
through
terrifying
macro-scopic
camerawork
and
backed
by
a
chilling
electronic
musical
score.
NOT
AVAILABLE
ON
DVD!

this
newly
struck
35mm

5:00pm - ALLIGATOR (1980)
Directed
by Lewis Teague,
Written by
John Sayles,
Containing:
Robert Forster
Ever wondered
what happened
to your pet
alligator that
Mom flushed
down the toilet?
John Sayles'
socially aware
chomp-fest
combines improvised
humor, buckets
of blood and
dozens of gruesome
deaths in this
surprisingly
well-executed
B-movie. In
fact, Quentin
Tarantino cast
Robert Forster
in JACKIE BROWN
due to this
memorable performance
as the smart-ass
detective.
Genuine uncut
grindhouse
35mm print.
Preceded by
a slew of bloody
fanged trailers.

9:50pm - DAYS OF THE ANIMALS (1977)
Directed by William Girdler; Written by Edward L. Montoro
Containing: Christopher & Linda
Day George,
Richard Jaeckel,
Leslie Nielson
If man keeps
destroying
the ozone layer,
all of the
animals are
going to go
crazy and start
fighting back.
William Girdler's
psychotic vision
of nature-run-amok
(circa 1977)
has all the
elements that
you'd only
dream a movie
could have:
Poisonous snakes,
jumping rats,
snatching vulchers,
rabid dogs,
screeching
hawks, killer
cougers and
the absolute
ULTIMATE bear
attack involving
a bare-chested
Leslie Nielsen
battling a
12-foot Grizzly
in a lightning
storm! One
of my most
favorite films
ever made!
Extremely RARE
35mm widescreen
print.

This sequel
to Joe Dante's & John
Sayles 1980

Lance Henriksen
taking
things
remarkably
serious, creating
a truly enlightening
