Exploitation/horror/action filmmaking demigod WILLIAM LUSTIG at The Ritz!

MANIAC / MANIAC COP 2 / VIGILANTE with Lustig Live!
Tues and Wed at The Ritz!


William Lustig is one of the most fearless filmmakers in exploitation history, and he'll be at the Ritz in person THIS WEEK for rampaging 35mm screenings of his three most brutal masterpieces!:

MANIAC (1980)
Screening Tuesday at 7PM
BRAND NEW 35MM PRINT!
Lustig's savage action and horror films tore through the screen to assault the audience with blood, bullets and sheer hatred burning through every frame. And with this – inarguably his exploitation masterpiece – he plumbs the depths of the cinematic sewers like never before.

Terror Tuesday: MANIAC COP 2 (1990)
Screening Tuesday at 10PM
Let’s look at the facts: MANIAC COP 2 is quite truly The Greatest '80s Horror-Action Movie Ever Made. Violent, whiplash-paced, supernatural and completely insane.

Weird Wednesday: VIGILANTE (1983)
Screening Wednesday at 11:55 PM
Unfairly dismissed as a DEATH WISH ripoff by people who never got past the title and poster, VIGILANTE is a tremendous, gritty masterpiece of revenge cinema.

...If you miss a single one of these historic screenings, we will hunt you down, set you on fire, beat you with a lead pipe and then break your smoldering torso in half over your mother's corpse. Have a nice day!
