We are thrilled to offer up this 2008 Fantastic Fest treat as an exclusive theatrical engagement!

"A return to form for the Korean crime film."
-Tim League, Fantastic Fest

A serial killer is preying on call-girls from various escort agencies. In the midst of police indifference and incompetence, Jung-Ho (Yun-Seok Kim), an ex-cop-turned-pimp must dust off his old flatfoot skills to find the killer and save the life of one of his girls who has gone missing.

THE ROCK-AFIRE EXPLOSION
Monday through Wednesday at the Ritz!
Get your tickets here

We heard you loud and clear, so here you go! We got so many requests to bring this film back after a string of sold-out shows last month, we had no choice but to oblige. Miss it once, shame on you, miss it twice, you'll be so shame-ridden you'll be forced to live in exile.

"Move over, THE LAST WALTZ, GIMME SHELTER and DON'T LOOK BACK, because what will undoubtedly be he greatest Rock Doc of all time is finally upon us."
- VH1 Best Week Ever

With the closing of Showbiz Pizza Place in the early '90s, and the subsequent removal of robotic rockers The Rock-afire Explosion, a small but determined group of fans persisted with the hopes of reviving their fallen obsession. It wasn't until 2007, with the resurgence of the Rock-afire Explosion on YouTube with songs like "Miss New Booty" and "Love in This Club," that the animatronic band found its way back into the public consciousness. This impossibly inspiring documentary follows heroic obsessives Chris Thrash, a car salesman from Alabama who led the charge with his inventive programming and clever song choice, and Aaron Fechter, creator of the Rock-afire Explosion and sole employee of Creative Engineering Inc.
