Rosemary’s Baby
1968 | 99 min. | Color | DCP
Directed by: Roman Polanski
Cast: Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon, Sidney Blackmer, and Ralph Bellamy
A young couple move into a new apartment, only to be surrounded by peculiar neighbours and unusual occurrences. When the wife, Rosemary (Mia Farrow in one of horror’s most iconic performances), becomes mysteriously pregnant, doubt over the safety and identity of her unborn child begins to fray her psyche. This masterpiece of slow-build horror and abject paranoia will haunt you all the way to Halloween.
Candyman
1992 | 91 min. | Color | DCP
Directed by: Bernard Rose
Cast: Virginia Madsen, Tony Todd, Xander Berkeley, Kasi Lemmons, and Vanessa Williams
This mesmerizing gem follows Helen Lyle, a graduate student (Virginia Madsen) writing her thesis on Candyman (Tony Todd), a murderous character said to stalk Chicago’s Cabrini-Green public housing complex. Helen believes that Candyman is an urban legend, but soon discovers that the world is not as simple as her education has taught her. A rare 1990s horror film that has something to say – dealing with race and class along with a thought-provoking exploration of the nature and power of belief – this faithful adaptation of Clive Barker’s short story “The Forbidden” is a horror masterpiece.
