Local director (also actor, producer, writer, and video maven) John Olsen will show his critically acclaimed film, Ape Canyon.
From Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In:
Obviously we’re into goofball territory here, a sort of ultra-low-budget cross between “King Kong” and “I Spit On Your Grave.” The plot line is so thin that it would fall apart entirely if it weren’t for some outstanding performances by Clover Lutter, as the lovesick Juliet with a poetry journal so excruciatingly bad that it makes Sasquatch clutch at his ears in pain, and Chris Henry, as the dimwit cuckold with a sidearm. The climactic sequence is very funny, but too disgusting to reveal here and I should go ahead and warn you, there’s an abundance of bodily-function humor that will be popular down at the frat house but might be too intense for their more squeamish girlfriends.
In other words, it’s the finest Bigfoot rape-revenge flick ever made by people with way too much time on their hands.
I loved it, of course.

Where: The Placebo 47B West 3rd St, Eureka (map)
