  • COME ON SACRAMENTO!
  • why do chicagoans get fucked in their mouths on limited releases?!
  • kyle
    Amen! Why does God hate Chicago?
  • God hates the midwest entirely.
  • Junk
    Right on. Be it concerts, films, what have you, Chicago is devoid of this cultural scene.
  • they get more than Sacramento does ;(

    Closest one to me is LA, an 8 hour drive...
  • Groovy.
  • Poland626
    OMFG YES! Why not Evil Dead 2 though? I liked 1 and all, no love 1, but 2 was the best of the series imo.
  • NickNewman
    Poughkeepsie? WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!
  • Blueman
    I'm hoping this means it'll make its way to Albany...if not I'll probably make the drive down to Po-Town.
  • Munky
    God hates Chicago cause theres too many darkies beating each other with 2x4's in the streets
  • The_Kid
    Darkies? That doesn't sound racist at all.
  • RussFischer
    As an aside, that is one awful poster.
  • It's very grindhouse in a very ugly way, huh!
  • RussFischer
    Just looks like Photoshop vomit.
  • Poland626
    Wait, do you have to be 17 to see this?
  • sanyo
    I guess it depends which cut they're going to be showing. If it's an R-rated cut and you're under 17 you need to be accompanied by someone 18+ or 21+ (depending on the area). NC-17 or "unrated" means you need to be 17 no matter what. It's kind of weird that they don't have any information for this listed anywhere.
  • Epic!
  • ck

  • jj
    Evil Dead 2 would bring in more $
  • Oh man I'm going to have to kick back and watch this again soon. It's been a while. Classic gore horror!
  • TN never gets love, not with indie movies and not with stuff like this.
  • Oi! We originated the musical in Toronto. Show the love, people! Swallow our souls! Swallow our souls! Swallow our souls!
  • sanyo
