JUAN OF THE DEAD
Director Alejandro Brugués
First, there was “Dawn,” then, there was “Shaun”… and now, there is Juan (Alexis Díaz de Villegas)! When Havana falls prey to a full-blown zombie invasion, slacker Juan and his friend Lorenzo decide to profit from the crisis and set up a zombie eradication business with the slogan ‘Juan de los Muertos – we kill your loved ones’. Before long Juan finds himself in the money — as well as in the unfamiliar and somewhat uncomfortable role of local hero — as he and his partner expand their ever-expanding repertoire of inventive ways to kill zombies. (2015 | 100 minutes | Spanish with English Subtitles)

KILLER BARBYS
Director Jess Franco
Eurohorror master Jess Franco (Female Vampire, Daughter of Dracula) pays homage to the classic cinema in the revisionist “old dark house” thriller. A vanload of kids are stranded in a creepy hilltop castle and become the unwitting victims of an immortal, sex-crazed countess (Mariangela Giordano) who retains her youth by feeding upon the blood of the young. Hardly the typical “Scooby-Doo” kids, these guests are members of the gore-punk band the Killer Barbies, who prove themselves quite well equipped to battle the horrors that confront them. (1996 | 90 minutes | Spanish with English Subtitles)
