    KNIGHTRIDERS
    Following the phenomenal success of his living dead classic Dawn of the Dead, horror icon George A. Romero took a break from zombies and monsters to create Knightriders, an odd fantasy/fable about a group of bikers/performers that tries to recapture the glory and nobility of medieval knights by performing at "Renaissance Faires" and jousting on Harleys instead of horses. The troupe must contend with the challenge of maintaining the purity of their idyllic "kingdom" while being tempted by the contemporary lures of wealth and celebrity. Though it may sound bizarre, Knightriders has a great deal of heart and is one of Romero's most personal films. Starring Ed Harris (in his first major role) and genre favorite Tom Savini.
    Dir. George Romero \ US \ 1981 \ 35mm \ 145 min. \ Color
     
    1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS
    The Italian film industry of the 1980s apparently didn't have much faith in the future of American society. In the wake of dystopic sci-fi classics like John Carpenter's Escape from New York and George Miller's Mad Max came a new subgenre of Italian action films set in a post apocalyptic United States, most with remarkably derivative titles: After the Fall of New York, Escape from the Bronx, 2020: Texas Gladiators, etc. Exhumed Films is "proud" to present one of the most infamous movies of the genre, 1990: The Bronx Warriors. In the distant future of...well...1990..., Trash (Mark Gregory) leads a gang of big haired, spandexed bikers called The Riders, who fight for their turf in the lawless streets of a ravaged New York City. But when Trash falls in with a wealthy runaway with ties to a corporate fortune, he encounters the ruthless mercenary Hammer (Vic Morrow, wielding a mean flame thrower) who has been sent into The Bronx to reclaim the missing heiress. Full of violence and absurdity, 1990: The Bronx Warriors is sure to entertain. Also featuring Fred Willamson and Italian horror stalwart George Eastman.

    Malatesta's Carnival of Blood - Directed by Christopher Speeth. USA. 1973. 74 minutes. Color. 35mm. Until just a few years ago, Malatesta's Carnival of Blood was considered a lost film. Shot in the early '70s and released -- barely -- in 1973, the film became the subject of horror fan lore until it was released on the director's own DVD label in 2003. The film concerns a family who poses as new workers at a sinister carnival to find their missing son. As they soon find out, the carnival is populated by ghouls, cannibals and flesh-eating freaks, many of whom are obsessed with old silent films. More a lysergic, hallucinogenic nightmare than a straight-ahead horror film, Malatesta disturbs and confounds the viewer with some of the most bizarre art direction captured on film.  The film was shot outside Philadelphia with a mostly local cast and crew. The aforementioned surreal art design was created by a Philly-based art troupe called Alley Friends, who are now famous in the architecture world for their eco-friendly, sustainable energy building designs. The late Herve Villechaize, best known as the dwarf "Tattoo" on television's Fantasy Island, plays a significant role (his first film role). Come join local director Christopher Speeth as he presents the only 35mm print in existence: his own archival print, which may never again be screened to the public. Mr. Speeth will be on hand to introduce his film and to answer questions after it runs.
     
    Messiah of Evil - Directed Huyck. USA. 1973. 90 minutes. Color. 35mm. Written by the team of Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, who a few years later went on to write the script for American Graffiti, Messiah of Evil is one of the finest, most neglected horror films of the 1970s. Only ever released cropped on VHS and on poor-quality, bootleg DVDs, this is one film that needs to be seen projected thanks to its 2.35:1 'scope photography, which is essential to creating the film's bleak mood. This movie achieves what so many direct H.P. Lovecraft film adaptations have failed to rise to: a truly Lovecraftian feel. Coupled with post-Night of the Living Dead flesh-eating zombies, you have a horror film capable of getting under your skin like few others. Messiah of Evil boasts some of the creepiest set pieces in '70s cinema and a cast of well-loved cult film performers including Joy Bang, Marianna Hill, Royal Dano, Anitra Ford and Elisha Cook, Jr. You won't want to miss this rare screening.
