From Beyond
Published: November 28, 2012
FROM BEYOND Decapitation, flesh eating, and a dash of S&M go down in an attic/laboratory in this 1986 film adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft story. Directed by Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, Dolls), this horror flick will have you worrying about your pineal gland through the holidays. Presented by Night Zones with Jimmy Joe Roche at the Charles Theatre Nov. 28
ANNA KARENINA Tom Stoppard himself wrote the screenplay for this British take on Leo Tolstoy’s novel. Period-piece darling Joe Wright—notably of Pride and Prejudice and Atonement—directs Keira Knightley (again) as Anna. Opens Nov. 30
KILLING THEM SOFTLY Brad Pitt plays a hitman who doesn’t like to kill up-close in Andrew Dominik’s third feature film. Pitt is flanked by James Gandolfini and Ray Liotta (as mobsters, surprisingly enough). Opens Nov. 30
WAKE IN FRIGHT An Outback schoolteacher’s Christmas holidays go awry when he gets severely sidetracked by drinking and gambling. This Australian film received worldwide critical acclaim when it debuted in 1971 but went unreleased on VHS or DVD for decades, becoming Australia’s great “lost film.” The movie’s editor, Anthony Buckley, found its negatives in Pittsburgh, Pa., in 2004, allowing for its restoration and re-release. At the Charles Theatre Dec. 1, 3, and 6
