DEADGIRL midnight screening at the Music Box Theatre July 24th & 25th

DEADGIRL, the film that Slate.com called “the hottest indie horror flick of the year” is coming to the Music Box Theatre in Chicago this weekend. It would be great if you could alert your readership to this special event.

Cast member Jenny Spain will be making a special appearance at the film’s midnight showings at the Music Box Theatre on July 24th & 25th @ midnight. The film is being released theatrically as a one-weekend, midnight only, road show-style theatrical event. This is Chicago’s only chance to see it!

It’s been called “audacious” (Hollywood Reporter), “unsettlingly sexual” (IndieWIRE) and “pretty much f***ing brilliant” (Ain’t It CoolNews). Thought to be too controversial to release, it stands as one of the most daringly original and disturbing films of our time.

Daringly original and genre-busting, DEADGIRL is an odyssey into the soul of our alienated youth that takes the conventions of the horror and coming-of-age movies and turns them on their heads.

When high school misfits Rickie and JT decide to ditch school and find themselves lost in the crumbling facility of a nearby abandoned hospital, they come face-to-face with a gruesome discovery: a body of a woman – stripped naked, chained to a table and covered in plastic – and soon realize she is anything but dead. Quickly the boys find themselves embarking on a twisted yet poignant journey testing the limits of their friendship, and forces both to decide just how far they’re willing to stretch their understanding of right and wrong.

From the producer of the seminal “Hellraiser” and the legendary “Heathers”, DEADGIRL is a new genre classic and a no-holds-barred look at the horror of growing up. Starring Shiloh Fernandez (“Cadillac Records”), Noah Segan (“Brick”), Micheal Bowen (“Kill Bill”) and Candice Accola (“Juno”).

THEMS

THEMS is a sci-fi thriller set in the year 2156, a volatile time when humans have exhausted many of the Earth’s natural resources. A crew of seven in search of the rare element Carbon9 has just completed a successful mission, filling the ship’s hold with rocks mined from an uncharted asteroid. As they ready for the three-month journey home, it’s clear they are not alone.
The show is improvised in a cinematic style around a loose story arc, and the characters are played as a study of human nature. The cast has created a fully fleshed-out background for each of their characters, who have secrets, fears, faults and desires that fuel their interactions—in other words, they’re played as real people. And to keep things fresh, THEMS will feature a special guest star each week, a mysterious stowaway found on board.
While you’re sure to see glimpses of the survival sci-fi/horror movies you know and love, like Alien, Dawn of the Dead and The Thing, the story, characters and mythos of THEMS is completely original. It’s sure to leave a mark of its own on you.

In space, THEMS can hear you scream—which is weird because space is a vacuum.
