FEB 25. BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA

The gloriously overblown Francis Ford Coppola adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic vampire novel comes to life with Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Gary Oldman turns in a fiendishly sinister Dracula whose lonely soul is determined to reunite with his lost love, Mina (Winona Ryder). Sadly poor businessman Jonathan Harker’s fiancee is the spitting image of Mina and Dracula begins a reign of terror and seduction in pursuit of his lost love.

Featuring a delicious performance from Oldman as Dracula, a bombastic turn from Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing, and academy awards for Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Editing, and Best Production Design, Bram Stoker’s Dracula elevates the source material to operatic heights, proving that love never dies.”

PSYCHO II

Two decades after the original murders at the Bates Motel, Norman cannot keep “Mother” from returning and coaxing him to unleash the homicidal maniac within.

The epidemic spreads throughout Louisville, Ky., and the creatures satisfy their hunger in gory and outlandish ways.
