Welcome to (yikes) 2023.
We closed out 2022 with a screening of the Spanish film, Day of the Beast, which was a huge success (well done Mel) and a new festive favourite, so I (David) thought, why not start the year with another Spanish film? And, not just any random Spanish film but one that comes from the same director as MHFS' most screened and most enjoyed film… Pieces.
Join us on the last Tuesday of the month for some gooey goodness with the 1988 film from Juan Piquer Simón, Slugs.
A small American town is overrun with slugs that are partial to human flesh. Mike Brady, a local health worker, has a solution to off these pests, if only someone would listen to him. When the body count rises and a “slug-spert”, I mean slug expert arrives from England, it looks as though Mike had the right idea all along..
Slugs was one of the many films released on VHS in the 80s that had the 'Banned in QLD' sticker proudly displayed on its cover, so we knew it was worthy of our hard earned money!
The screening will officially start at 7.30pm in the cinema room at the rear of LongPlay, but you'll be able to find us in the middle room from around 6pm if you would like to join us for a pre-film drink and / or bite to eat. Everyone is welcome!
Memberships will be available on the night at a cost of $15 for 3 screenings or $50 for 12. Please bring cash.
David, Mel, Sam & Adam.
