"A MARVELOUS DOCUMENTARY.. a celebration of cinema-going as a communal adventure with no real equivalent in the YouTubeverse." -- TIME OUT
Six cult classics. One midnight revolution.
Stuart Samuels' acclaimed documentary uncovers the true story behind the films that broke every rule and built cinema's most devoted cult followings: El Topo, Night of the Living Dead, Pink Flamingos, The Harder They Come, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Eraserhead.
Told through rare archival footage and interviews with the directors, stars, and distributors who lived it -- including John Waters, David Lynch, Roger Ebert, George Romero, Richard O'Brien, and Alejandro Jodorowsky -- this is the definitive account of how a handful of low-budget, handmade visions transformed film history.
Between 1970 and 1977, these six films redefined taste and taboo. Screened exclusively at midnight, they turned moviegoing into an act of rebellion -- a weekly ritual for a generation who returned again and again to the same darkened theaters.
What began on the fringes of mainstream culture went on to shape it: their subversive humor, embrace of the grotesque, and celebration of difference are now woven into popular film culture.
With first-hand accounts from legendary exhibitor Ben Barenholtz and the fans who made these films phenomena, Midnight Movies is a loving tribute and essential cinema history -- perfect for genre fans, cult collectors, and anyone who loves the story behind the screen.
