Special Guest Scheduled to Appear
Alexandre O. Philippe: Chain Reactions, Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker Series
Ozploitation and the Australian New Wave combine in this chilling horror cult classic that was a key inspiration for Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre—don't miss a chance to see this underscreened gem!
Specially programmed by Chain Reactions filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe, Night of Fear is the story of a sadistic hermit who stalks and captures those who get lost in his part of the woods. A young woman whose car breaks down is about to find out what he does with them next. Called the "the first Australian horror movie of the [Australian film] renaissance," Night of Fear is rarely screened in the U.S. and yet its impact on the 1970s Golden Age of Horror filmmaking is unparalleled. Don't miss it! [54 min; horror; English]
This screening will have a special introduction by filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe.
"A potent, no-frills little shocker that is likely to delight fans of vintage horror, with excellent use of whiplash-speed editing, bizarre camera angles, and a densely layered soundtrack to create a consistently unnerving atmosphere." — Donald Guarisco, AllMovies
