Alligator
ONYX AFTER HOURS, Friday 10/18 @ 10 PM: Looking to capitalize on the success of Jaws, this zany creature feature follows a police officer and a reptile expert who track an enormous (and ravenous) alligator flushed down the toilet years earlier. After years spent in a chemical soup, this mutant man-eater begins attacking residents after escaping from the city's sewers. We think it’s the perfect entry into our After Hours: Schlocktoberfest line-up.
Messiah of Evil
ONYX AFTER HOURS Friday 10/25 @ 10 PM: A long-neglected supernatural horror masterpiece, MESSIAH OF EVIL returns to screens with a new restoration and is the last film of our Schlocktoberfest slate. The film follows a young woman named Arletty, who travels to a small coastal California town in search of her missing father. The town, shrouded in eerie quiet and inhabited by strange, nocturnal locals, quickly becomes a nightmarish setting. As Arletty uncovers disturbing secrets about the town's past, she encounters a group of outsiders who are also investigating mysterious happenings. Together, they begin to realize that something ancient and malevolent is taking hold of the residents, leading them toward a terrifying fate.
