Wednesday, April 9th at 8 pm, we're screening the little-known Hammer Studios espionage/kung-fu film CALL HIM MR. SHATTER at The Sentient Bean.
Co-produced by the legendary SHAW BROTHERS (responsible for its excellent martial arts sequences), it's a great snapshot of the seedier side of Hong Kong circa 1974.
It's so rare, the only trailer we found was in German - but don't worry, our copy is in English!
Tickets only $5 at the door for ALL-AGES. Seating begins at 7:30 pm.
Don't forget, advance $6 tickets go on sale tomorrow as well for our one-night only screening of the best-reviewed horror film of 2007, THE ORPHANAGE, produced by PAN'S LABYRINTH director Guillermo Del Toro.
That's co-sponsored by CONNECT SAVANNAH, SIXTH SDENSE SAVANNAH GHOST TOURS and THE BOOK LADY USED BOOKSTORE..
See it at 8 pm, April 23rd at The Bean, and tell your friends!
