Step back to the golden age with Event Cinemas

There’s no business like show business.

Cult classics were often box office flops, straight to video or to be found in the clearance bin of your local film store.

A great many cult classic films may have often been destined for landfill or the history books – before all consumed fans resuscitate them and bring them back to life.

Pulled back from the brink of death, cult films are often retrospectively recognised as genre bending, and in some cases industry game changers. Onto its fifth season now at Event Cinemas George st, is the increasingly popular In The House Classic program that is selling to near capacity sellout audiences at every screening.

Event Cinemas is helping keeping Cult Cinema Classics rolling, as it announces another of its rich and diverse In The House film series. Season Zero commencing Friday 22 July with Big Trouble in Little China at Event Cinemas George st.

Each film in the series gets the red carpet treatment it deserves and nearly all sessions sell out to capacity.

But it is less like a cinema on the inside, each film screening is delivered in a more friendly mode: in such a way as to be like watching a film at a friend’s house.

Hosting the event, Jason Jabba Davis from Channel 7 and David Quinny Quinn from Supa Nova facilitate a discussion and review before the screening of the film.

Enthusiastic games will be played, the film will be discussed, and the audience members will walk away with fun prizes.

The hosts will give their own considered critique of the film.

There will of course be special guests coming along to the screenings. In past seasons, the event has included Don McAlpine DOP from Predator and even a performance from the umbilical bros.

Things can get a little freaky at a cult classic screening.

“Have you ever seen four hundred people playing heads & tails or paper scissors rock before seeing a film in the auditorium — it’s quite amazing,” Event Cinemas George St General Manager, Anthony Kierann said.

A showing on the big screen is a rarity for many classic films.

“What is wonderful is seeing parents bring they’re young and adult children to share the experience that parents had years ago. People are also attending to see the films that instigated Stella film careers of directors and actors.“

While people may know the ending to the film, how things will pan out off screen will have people guessing.

“I can’t say exactly what to expect as each evening takes us by surprise.” Anthony Kierann said.

Audience members have the power to help select the film that Event Cinemas will be showing during the series.

The Event Cinema Team love selecting a range of fantastic classic and cult films to go see, but they would love to  have your input too.

All you have to do it go to the In the House Facebook page and let them know what you want on the silver screen.

“It’s not about simply opening the door, it’s about entering our house, so relax enjoy come have something to say and be swept away by the In The House night at the movies,“ Anthony Kierann said.
