Join us for the wildest Xmas movie, Dial Code Santa Claus, tomorrow night
Awkward Movie Night returns to Digital Gym Cinemas with a really dark version of Home Alone
Tomorrow night, Tuesday, Dec. 15 at 9 p.m., Awkward Movie Night returns to Digital Gym with the 1989 French spectacle, Deadly Games (one of its many names, including Dial Code Santa Claus, 3615 code Père Noël, Game Over, and Hide and Seek).
To say this movie is a blast is an understatement. The plot follows a kid who must defend his home (a 100-room mansion, NBD) from an evil Santa imposter. Unluckily for evil Santa, the kid just happens to be skilled in making booby traps and homemade weapons. If this all sounds a little like Home Alone, you’re wouldn’t be mistaken, but Deadly Games predates that Macaulay Culkin classic. Plus, Home Alone was never this dark, or filmed with the same dreamlike style as a Kate Bush music video, or had as many amazing montages set to Bonnie Tyler songs.
I hope you can make it. I would love to make Awkward Movie Nights a regular thing, and your support will help convince Big Independent Cinema to allow me to do so.
Whoops, that’s meant to say Thursday.
