Join us Thursday September 12th at the IFC Center (a few short blocks from our store!) at 9:30pm for a FREE sneak preview screening of Larry Fessenden’s Depraved as a part of the Planet Midnight screening series. Sign up and RSVP here.
What is the Planet Midnight screening series? It’s a new partnership between Forbidden planet NYC and IFC Midnight! Here’s the press release that went out a few days ago:
IFC Midnight and Forbidden Planet announced today that they will launch their new sneak screening series and genre film night at IFC Center called Planet Midnight. They will kick it off with NYC horror legend Larry Fessenden and his new film Depraved, in advance of its release on Friday, September 13th. On a monthly basis, they will program a mixture of undistributed films, new titles from IFC Midnight and films from other distributors. Planet Midnight is dedicated to championing defiantly independent genre films, and collaborating with partners who share that passion. Upcoming films to expect in the 2019 line-up will include Dawn Lubbe and Jocelyn DeBoer’s Greener Grass, Jennifer Reeder’s Knives and Skin, and Miguel Llansó’s Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway.
Planet Midnight is a destination for the genre community in NYC. As smaller community spaces, video stores, record stores, and comic book shops are dwindling, institutions like the IFC Center and Forbidden Planet continue to plant deep roots in the community and nurture counter-cultural engagement in the city on a personal level.
Planet Midnight screenings are free-of-charge for IFC Midnight newsletter subscribers and includes giveaways, special guest appearances, and complimentary popcorn. To receive updates and RSVP to upcoming screenings, please follow this link.
And here’s the lowdown and trailer for Depraved:
DEPRAVED Opens in Theaters and Video-on-Demand September 13th!
The legend of Frankenstein gets a provocative modern update in the stylishly disturbing new film from indie horror master Larry Fessenden. Suffering from PTSD following his stint as an army medic, Henry (David Call) now works feverishly in his Brooklyn laboratory to forget the death he witnessed overseas by creating life in the form of a man cobbled together from body parts. After procuring a brain from an unwitting victim, his creation—Adam (Alex Breaux)—is born. But it soon seems that giving life to Adam was the easy part; teaching him how to live in a dark and troubled world may be perilous. A complex, emotionally shattering tale about what it means to be human, Depraved brings Mary Shelley’s immortal fable fully into the 21st century.
When and Where: Thursday September 12th 9:30pm-11:30pm at the IFC Center.
