The Coolidge Corner Theatre

Cult: adj, 1) of or pertaining to a cult. 2) of, for, or attracting a small group of devotees.

Cut: v, 1) to stop. 2) to edit.

At the end of each month (as you scramble to make rent), the Coolidge brings you a rarely-seen-on-the-big-screen cult film to remind you why you moved to the big city in the first place. Coolidge Cult Cuts is curated by Assistant to the Program Manager, Mark Anastasio, who promises this new series will deliver the oddities and classics you've come to expect from Boston's only midnite film venue.

RAVENOUS

$7.75 general, student members get 2 for 1 admission.

He was licking meeeeeee!

RAVENOUS is a truly under-rated cannibal classic. Part western, part horror movie with a little bit of campiness thrown in for good measure, this film eats from the plates of multiple genres and never bites off more than it can chew. Guy Pierce is captivating as the cowardly and quiet Captain Boyd, who has just been transferred to a fort in the Sierra Nevada's after surviving a particularly bloody battle of the Mexican-American War. When a near-dead traveler invades their solitude, Boyd and his misfit Fort-mates must battle the harsh winter as well as the appetite of a particularly menacing Robert Carlyle if they are to survive. "Eat to live, don't live to eat!"

dir. Antonia Bird, w/ Guy Pierce, Robert Carlyle, David Arquette 1h41m 35mm
