Rewind This/Frankenhooker Double Feature

Are you ready for a double feature South Florida?

Popcorn Nights @ O-Cinema present a REWIND THIS/ FRANKENHOOKER Double Feature

If you grew up in the 1980s-90s, then you most likely spent a good amount of time in the video store, picking out movies to rent. “Rewind This” takes us through the rise and fall of the VHS format and how many of the films we grew up loving could one day be lost forever. One of the films featured in the documentary “Rewind This” is the black comedy horror film “Frankenhooker” and we thought that this cult classic and the new documentary would make a great double-bill. “Frankenhooker’ was well known for its unique interactive VHS cover box; when the subway lamp post was pressed by the customer, the box spoke back the line, “Wanna date?” from the film.

REWIND THIS (7:30PM)
An exploding industry without rules! Backyard filmmakers with zero budget and a surplus of dreams! Unchecked global piracy! The race to control media consumption! Videotape changed the world and laid the foundation for today’s digital culture. Low cost equipment created unprecedented opportunities. Major studios and small indies operated on an even playing field for the first time ever. The story of the home video revolution is a tale of both technological advancement and human ambition. VHS vs. Beta! Porn invades the home! Direct to-video madness! It’s all here, along with a rogues gallery of directors, rental employees, XXX vets, box artists, collectors, and more. Join the pizza party!

FRANKENHOOKER (9:30PM)
When his gorgeous fiancée “goes to pieces” in a freak lawnmower accident, aspiring mad scientist Jeffrey Franken is determined to put her back together again. With the aid of an explosive superdrug, he sets about reassembling his girlfriend, selecting the choicest bits from a bevy of raunchy New York prostitutes. But his bizarre plan soon goes awry. His reanimated girlfriend no longer craves his body… she craves everybody! And, for money, she’ll love anyone… to death!
