Reminder! Russell Mulcahy in attendance!
“God has created it, and Hell has given it a name…”
Before Highlander. Duran Duran. The Shadow and Resident Evil: Extinction. Australian filmmaker Russell Mulcahy tackled the nature-run-amok sub-genre with grit and style to spare in 1984’s Razorback.
With its haunting opening, in which a giant boar barrels through a home in the Outback killing a small child, the film would procure a cult following among those who discovered it on VHS and laserdisc. Until recently, that was the only way to see this little gem. Then Warner Bros. Video gave it a DVD release last year.
If you live in or around the Los Angeles area, however, Shock Till You Drop and Phil Blankenship of the New Beverly Cinema are giving you a chance to catch it on the big screen.
On Saturday, February 20 at 11:59pm, we’ll be showing the film at the New Beverly (7165 West Beverly Blvd.). Yours truly will present the screening alongside director Russell Mulcahy who is attending for a Q&A!
You can buy tickets right here! Be sure to arrive early! The last three screenings we co-presented have sold out….
