“The candles, the music, the sexy dress. I mean, what’s going on here?”

The Rio Theatre's Friday Late Night Movie series continues on April 8 with a very special screening of a weird story about love, loss, friendship, cheating, pizza, spoons, and football: Tommy Wiseau's epic, pop-culture masterpiece, THE ROOM. Even better? Greg Sistero (aka "Mark") will be on hand to intro the film.

This legendary stinker is easily the Rio Theatre audiences' all-time, hands-down forever favourite "so bad, it's good" movie - and perfect for a Valentine's Day-ish late night date night! Among our collective guiltiest cinematic pleasures, THE ROOM may just be the bestest "best-worst" film of all time!

What a story! A marvel of modern cinema, Tommy Wiseau's THE ROOM is so powerful that it will, literally, "tear you apart." (Or, maybe just your brain. And occasionally your eyeballs.) In the pantheon of you-gotta-see-it-to-believe-it, best-worst movies, it's quite possible that nothing tops THE ROOM. It's the CITIZEN KANE of bad movies! And truly, truly, the best (trust!) way to experience this "masterpiece" is in the dark, on the big screen, and with a packed audience of confused (and enthused!) lovers of director Wiseau's bizarre cinematic oddity that has morphed into a pop-culture phenomenon.
