When You Mix German Expressionism, Surrealism, and Some Old Fashioned Blood-Letting: A Screening of Burning Inside at the Somerville Theater on January 5, 2011
On Wednesday, January 5, 2011, contemplative nightmare Burning Inside debuts at the Somerville Theater as part of monthly screening series All Things Horror Presents. Stark and meticulously shot, the black & white film takes cues from German Expressionism with a dash of David Lynch-inspired surrealism. As if lifted from a time capsule, it’s a film that fits alongside the midnight movies of the 70’s without a trace of self-referential irony. Disturbing imagery combines with punishing sound to create a visceral and cerebral film experience audiences won’t soon forget.
The screening takes place Wednesday, January 5, 2011, at 8:00 pm at the Somerville Theater, 55 Davis Square in Somerville. Immediately following will be a Q & A with director/producer Nathan Wrann. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased either at the door or online at allthingshorroronline.net. Doors open at 7:30 pm.
Burning Inside (2009) (120 min), produced, written and directed by Nathan Wrann (Hunting Season) and features Michael Wrann and Kristina Powis.
“Impressive…a challenging and altogether harrowing experience for discerning horror fans.”
-Steven Puchalski, SHOCK CINEMA
“A raw and grinding midnight movie”
-Marcus Stiglegger, DEADLINE MAGAZINE
