The midnight movies were a phenomenon in the history of cinema which began to occur in the United States in the early 70's, particularly in New York City.
In this movement stressed a lot of movies that created a huge cult phenomenon.
Puertas de Castilla aims celebrate a year to those films that passed in small, dark rooms, and remember the days when "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is seen bathed in confetti and surrounded by drag queens
The musical comedy opens the cycle invites a strange journey into the evening of June 19, 1973, when he was born "The Rocky Horror", a musical written by the versatile actor, musician, writer and singer Richard O'Brien, who participated in "Hair" and "Jesus Christ Superstar."
During the film the audience will participate when something significant happens on the screen, shouting, booing, dancing.
Instructions were given about the entry along with a bag of tools.
Will follow, "Dracula, Andy Warhol," a grotesque jewelry taken from the deepest psychedelic, a Dracula who eat bread soaked in blood, Dracula vomit in the bathtub, a scrawny Dracula sometimes uses a wheelchair Victorian , a baroque scenarios filled with languid ladies, generally one of the exponents of gore movies of the seventies in which a very young and skeletal Udo Kier plays the freak version of Dracula with communists and erotic touches.
Film completely unclassifiable.
Forbidden Zone is lysergic adaptation of Alice in Wonderland seen through the eyes of a crazy fan of the musical unbiased, Richard Elfman.
Richard, brother of Danny Elfman, the famous composer (which also appears in the film), preserves the spirit of freedom and dementia rowdy as the Rocky films.
Humor vagabond, delirious musical numbers and define this film is unlike anything ever seen before.
A movie not recommended for people too much rope.
Close the cycle "The murderers of the honeymoon," directed by Leonard Kastle.
A sordid tale of love and violence that many have described as one of the great "cult movies" of American cinema of the 70.
Truffaut said that she was his favorite American film, Michelangelo Antonioni called it one of the most sublime films I ever saw, and The Guardian newspaper of London as one of the 10 best films of cinema history.
Without doubt, a truly amazing love story based on news reports and judicial data relating to real incidents perpetrated by a pair of serial murderers.
