Summer of 84 (Cast & Crew in Attendance!)
Start your end-of-summer long weekend right - with a very special, encore presentation of of RKSS' follow-up to their breakout indie hit TURBO KID, the soon-to-be-cult-classic horror thriller SUMMER OF 84 (which SOLD OUT the Rio following its advance screening in July!).
Even better?
Get ready for a star-studded night, as members of the Vancouver-shot film (which made major waves following its premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival and at Montreal's Fantasia Film Festival) will be on-hand for intros and a post-screening Q&A! (Stay tuned for info on who will be joining us!)
"It's the type of outrageous ending that divides audiences and builds cult followings. Summer of '84 is a trashy classic that will absolutely rock midnight movie houses." (Pop Matters)
"This isn't a STRANGER THINGS/IT knock-off, it really does do its own thing and has its own tone...and then that tone goes to some ridiculously dark places." (Film Threat)
