The Thing from Another World:
When a U.S. Air Force crew investigates a mysterious crash in the Arctic, they uncover a spacecraft buried in the ice—and awaken its deadly occupant, a plant-based alien lifeform with a thirst for blood.
Marking the directorial debut of Oscar®-nominated editor Christian Nyby (Red River) and produced by the legendary Howard Hawks (His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby), this 1951 classic blends postwar paranoia with sharp dialogue, chills, and thrills. A cornerstone of Cold War-era science fiction, The Thing from Another World inspired generations of filmmakers and laid the groundwork for John Carpenter’s acclaimed 1982 reimagining, making it a must-see for fans of timeless genre cinema.

The Brig

All free La CinOMAthéque screenings will take place in the Truist Auditorium at the Orlando Museum of Art.
ACCESS FOR ALL AT OMA presents:
La CinOMAthéque: A collaboration between OMA and Enzian, with generous support provided by the Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.
The Orlando Museum of Art is thrilled to announce the launch of La CinOMAthéque in partnership with the Enzian Theater, as part of its “Access for All at OMA,” an all-new program offering FREE admission to the museum!
Access for All at OMA is a monthly free day dedicated to the community. La CinOMAthéque will be a series of 6 bimonthly free screenings of experimental, avant-garde, art films in the Truist auditorium at OMA on Access for All day.
Each screening will be introduced by a UCF film professor and include a talkback with OMA Chief Curator Coralie Claeysen-Gleyzon and Enzian Programming Manager Tim Anderson.

The Brig:
Jonas Mekas looked to the stage for his second feature, an adaptation of Kenneth H. Brown’s play of the same name, which had been produced off-Broadway at the Living Theatre by Judith Malina and Julian Beck. A harrowing, suffocating portrait of brutality and dehumanization within a Marine Corps prison, the film chronicles the abuses and indignities suffered by 10 prisoners at the hands of a few sadistic guards across a single day. At once a seminal adaptation of experimental theater and a fierce polemic against the conjoined carceral and military-industrial complexes, this searing film is marked by, per a Time magazine write-up at the time of its premiere, “a nightmare air that suggests Kafka with a Kodak.”

Stripped for Parts – American Journalism on the Brink
2025-09-21 11:00 - 14:00
Join us for this special screening with two-time Academy Award® nominee filmmaker Rick Goldsmith (The Most Dangerous Man in America (2010) and Tell the Truth and Run (1997)). Following the film, Orlando Sentinel columnist Scott Maxwell will moderate a Q&A conversation with Judith Smelser, President and General Manager of Central Florida Public Media, and the filmmaker.
Stripped for Parts is the story of a secretive hedge fund that is plundering what is left of America’s newspapers, and the journalists who are fighting back.
Hedge fund Alden Global Capital is quietly gobbling up newspapers across the country and gutting them, but no one knows why– until journalist Julie Reynolds begins to investigate. Her findings trigger rebellions across the country by journalists working at Alden-owned newspapers. Backed by the NewsGuild union, the newsmen and women go toe-to-toe with their “vulture capitalist” owners in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism in America. Who will control the future of America’s news ecosystem: Wall Street billionaires concerned only with profit, or those who see journalism as an essential public service, the lifeblood of our democracy?
This presentation is made possible by the generous support of the Orlando Sentinel Guild.

American Hardcore
2025-09-23 21:30 - 23:30
35mm Screening!
The History of American Punk Rock 1980 – 1986
Iconic. Raw. High-Octane. American Hardcore stage dives headfirst into the explosive underground punk scene of the early 1980s. Directed by Paul Rachman and based on Steven Blush’s book, the film chronicles the birth and rise of hardcore punk in America—capturing the rage, rebellion, and DIY spirit that ignited a cultural revolution. Featuring rare footage and interviews with members of legendary bands like Black Flag, Minor Threat, D.O.A. and Bad Brains, American Hardcore is both a history lesson and a visceral experience, offering a front-row seat to one of music’s most ferocious movements.

Selena
2025-09-24 18:15 - 21:00
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, this special screening—in honor of the 30th anniversary of Selena’s passing—will be presented with Spanish subtitles.
Golden Globe-nominee Jennifer Lopez stars as Selena, in a breakout performance as the beloved singer, tracing her journey from a childhood band formed by her father Abraham (Edward James Olmos), through her groundbreaking success in the male-dominated Tejano music scene, to her dream of crossing over into the English-language pop market. This the heartfelt biographical drama captures key moments in Selena’s life—her family’s unwavering support, her passionate romance with guitarist Chris Pérez (Jon Seda), and the devastating betrayal that led to her untimely death at just 23.
Born in Lake Jackson, Texas in 1971, Selena has been heralded as the “Queen of Tejano Music”. Known for her charisma, powerhouse voice, and deep connection with fans, she was a trailblazer who opened doors for future generations of Latinx performers. Her influence extended far beyond music, making her a beloved figure in both Latin American and mainstream American culture. This month in honor of her legacy, we hope that this film continues to inspire new audiences with its message of perseverance and the enduring power of music.

Directed by Griffin Dunne (An American Werewolf in London) and based on the novel by Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic weaves together themes of empowerment, grief, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of family. With its blend of heartfelt emotion and unforgettable performances, the film has continued to enchant audiences for decades.

From the twisted minds of Karyn Kusama (Girlfight, Yellowjackets) and Academy-Award winner Diablo Cody (Juno, Lisa Frankenstein) comes a wickedly funny, blood-soaked satire starring Megan Fox like you’ve never seen her before.
When high school queen Jennifer (Fox) is possessed by a demonic force, the boys in town start dropping dead. Soon, her shy best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried, Mean Girls) is the only one who can stop her. With brilliant supporting roles from Adam Brody, Johnny Simmons, and J.K. Simmons, and packed with razor-sharp dialogue and a killer early-aughts soundtrack, Jennifer’s Body has clawed her way back from the grave to become a modern classic. Now firmly entrenched as a feminist horror touchstone and fan favorite, the film continues to resonate with a new generation of fans who recognize its biting wit and genre-defying power. Come for the blood, stay for the rage.

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
2025-10-07 21:30 - 23:30
Screening as part of the 13+ Films of Halloween.
25th Anniversary!
Join us for a rare 25th anniversary screening of Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2—the provocative and polarizing sequel that dared to follow up one of the most iconic and successful independent films of all time.
Directed by Oscar-nominated documentarian Joe Berlinger (Paradise Lost, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster), this psychological horror film trades found footage for a surreal, stylized descent into media-fueled hysteria. Set in the aftermath of The Blair Witch Project’s cultural explosion, a group of strangers come together to tour the infamous woods made famous by the original film. Among them is Jeff (Jeffrey Donovan, Burn Notice), a local obsessed with the Blair Witch mythos, who guides the group into the Black Hills Forest for an overnight stay at the ruins of Rustin Parr’s house. When they awaken with no memory of the previous night and find their video equipment has recorded something horrifying, the lines between reality, obsession, and delusion begin to unravel.
Pivoting sharply from the Vérité style of its predecessor, the film explores the media frenzy and cultural paranoia surrounding The Blair Witch Project, rather than continuing its found-footage format. Critically panned upon release, the film has since gained attention for its meta-narrative and subversive approach to sequel-making. Rather than simply retreading the original’s footsteps, it attempted something more provocative: a horror film about the impact of horror films.

Night of the Living Dead (4k Restoration)
2025-10-11 11:00 - 13:30
4K Restoration!
Dive into the magic of cinema with the Enzian Film Club! Join us for an enriching experience where film enthusiasts and novices alike can explore classic films in a new light. Each session features a short presentation by esteemed professors from local colleges, followed by collaborative discussions that bring fresh insights and foster a deeper appreciation for the art of filmmaking. Part of our Saturday Matinee Classics series, the Enzian Film Club is your gateway to understanding and enjoying timeless cinematic masterpieces in a vibrant, community-focused setting.
Featuring an Enzian Film Club discussion by David T. Meyers from Full Sail University!
Shot outside of Pittsburgh at a fraction of the cost of a Hollywood feature, by a band of filmmakers determined to make their mark, George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead is one of the great stories of independent cinema: a midnight hit turned box-office smash that became one of the most influential films of all time. A deceptively simple tale of a group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse who find themselves fending off a horde of flesh-eating ghouls newly arisen from their graves, Romero’s claustrophobic vision of a late-sixties America (literally) tearing itself apart rewrote the rules of the horror genre, combined gruesome gore with acute social commentary, and quietly broke ground by casting a black actor (Duane Jones) in the lead role.
After decades of poor-quality prints and video transfers, Night of the Living Dead can finally be seen for the immaculately crafted film that it is thanks to a new 4K restoration, scanned from the original camera negative and supervised by Romero himself. Stark, haunting, and more relevant than ever, Night of the Living Dead is back.
About the speaker: David T. Meyers is the Film Department Chairman at Full Sail University, where he teaches the History of Motion Picture Arts. He began his film career working with legendary director George Romero on the feature film MONKEY SHINES.

Day of the Dead
2025-10-11 23:59
Screening as part of the 13+ Films of Halloween.
40th Anniversary! Featuring an extended introduction with Barry Anderson, special effects makeup artist!
The third entry in George A. Romero’s legendary zombie saga plunges viewers into a bleak, claustrophobic world where the living may be more dangerous than the dead. Set in a fortified underground military bunker in South Florida, the film follows a dwindling group of scientists and soldiers trying to survive in the aftermath of a global zombie apocalypse. As tensions rise and the chain of command begins to break, Dr. Sarah Bowman finds herself caught between the brutal authority of Captain Rhodes and the radical experiments of Dr. Logan, aka “Frankenstein”, who believes the undead can be trained.
Though underappreciated upon release, the film has since gained recognition for its grisly realism and haunting atmosphere. It also gave horror fans one of the genre’s most memorable zombie characters: Bub (Sherman Howard), the first of Romero’s undead to show signs of emotion and memory—hinting that maybe the undead are evolving.
Shot on a tight budget but loaded with groundbreaking practical effects by special makeup maestro Tom Savini and a young Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead), Day of the Dead is arguably Romero’s darkest and most philosophical entry. While Night dealt with survival and Dawn with consumerism, Day explores the collapse of social order, the ethics of science, and the erosion of humanity in extreme isolation.

About Barry Anderson: Barry Anderson has been a creative force in the arts and entertainment industry since 1984. A veteran special makeup effects artist, his work has been featured in numerous feature films and television productions, including George Romero’s Day of the Dead, Jeepers Creepers, Hairspray, and Mr. Nanny. He has also contributed to acclaimed documentary and television projects, crafting lifelike recreations of human remains and mummies for productions such as PBS’s Secrets of the Dead and National Geographic’s The Mummy Road Show. Beyond the screen, Barry has collaborated with law enforcement agencies, creating forensic reconstructions and crime scene simulations for CSI training and forensic photography workshops. For 17 years, Barry worked with Ripley Entertainment, where he began as a lead artist designing and fabricating museum figures before rising to Director of the Art Department, overseeing staff, art direction, and department operations. Today, he continues to push the boundaries of his craft as the owner of Transmutation Designs, while also serving as Director of Special Effects Engineering at Simetri Inc., where he develops advanced combat medic training devices for the United States military.

Cannibal Holocaust
2025-10-14 21:30 - 23:30
Screening as part of the 13+ Films of Halloween.
45th Anniversary! 35mm Screening!
Few films have ignited as much outrage—or cemented such a place in cinematic history—as Cannibal Holocaust. Directed by Ruggero Deodato, this harrowing exploitation shocker pushed boundaries with its blend of cinéma vérité realism, graphic violence, and commentary on media sensationalism. Banned in multiple countries and famously mistaken for a snuff film upon release (leading to Deodato’s arrest), it remains one of the most controversial films ever made (not the least of which is due to the death of several animals on film). But beneath the gore lies a biting critique of Western imperialism and media ethics. The film rests on the mordant observation that zombies or no zombies, chances are the living will tear each other apart, cementing Cannibal Holocaust as not just a provocation, but a pivotal—if deeply disturbing—milestone in horror history.
The film’s true intentions belie its deceptively simple concept; a university professor (Robert Kerman), is sent to the Amazon to determine the fate of a group of documentary filmmakers who were there to study remote cannibal tribes in an area known as The Green Inferno. What professor Monroe discovers is incomprehensible. The documentary crew—in an effort to capture more salacious footage—resorted to the rape, torture and murder of their subjects, only to subsequently meet that same fate themselves.
Deodato’s film was not the first to wreak havoc on the international scene and it has surely proven to not be the last. Nevertheless, unlike so many other films defined as controversial in their day that have later proven to be tame—or even innocuous—as time wears on, Cannibal Holocaust is still as unredeemable and unrelenting a spectacle as ever committed to celluloid.
Due to graphic content, including extreme violence and animal cruelty, no one under 18 will be permitted. For more information, please see the IMDB Parents Guide for this film.

Halloweentown:

But, danger is brewing, and Marnie will have to learn how to use her broomstick if she hopes to stop an evil force from taking over Halloweentown.
A perennial favorite, spawning three sequels and earning a devoted fanbase since its Disney Channel premiere almost 30 years ago, join us for a spooktacular evening on the Enzian lawn.

Zorns Lemma:
A rhythmically edited alphabet composed of street and shop signs shot in New York City and other elements is gradually replaced by repeated seemingly abstract shots in this influential structuralist film.

Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror
2025-10-17 - 2025-10-23
Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror is a joyful and wild ride through the tale of the cultural juggernaut that is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. From its humble origins as a London fringe theater play, the documentary tracks its meteoric rise, fall and resurrection to become the biggest cult film of all time. With intimate access to its creator Richard O’Brien and other major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Lou Adler, the documentary explores what makes the play and film so singular: Its groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances and epic songs that took over popular culture. The cult phenomenon that sprung around it is unparalleled, and created not only the midnight screenings which continue to this day, but also a safe haven for those who ever felt different or marginalized – with particular significance for the queer community.
In our current political climate, Rocky Horror’s message of inclusion and self expression holds more resonance than ever. As Dr. Frank-N-Furter says, “Don’t Dream It, Be It.”

Chain Reactions

Fifty years after Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE shocked the world and forever changed the face of global cinema and popular culture, CHAIN REACTIONS charts the film’s profound impact and lasting influence on five great artists – Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King, and Karyn Kusama – through early memories, sensory experiences, and childhood trauma. By crafting a dynamic dialogue between contemporary footage and never-before-seen outtakes and delving into personal impressions triggered by distinct audiovisual formats (16mm, 35mm, VHS, digital), CHAIN REACTIONS goes to the heart of how a scruffy, no-budget independent film wormed its way into our collective nightmares and permanently altered the zeitgeist.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (4K Restoration)
2025-10-18 - 2025-10-22
4K Restoration supervised by Tobe Hooper
50 years ago, five youths on a weekend getaway in the Texas countryside fell prey to a butcher in a mask made of human skin and his cannibalistic family, and horror cinema would never be the same. Violent, confrontational, and shockingly realistic, director Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE terrified audiences in a way never thought possible when it was unleashed on a politically and socially tumultuous America in 1974.
Facing a storm of controversy, censorship, and outcry throughout its troubled release, this masterpiece of horror has stood the test of time to become a landmark motion picture and cultural milestone. Come and see the film that changed the landscape of modern horror cinema in a director supervised 4k restoration.

Ringu
2025-10-18 11:00 - 14:00
Screening as part of the 13+ Films of Halloween.
Sponsored by Rollins Master of Liberal Studies. Featuring a Book to Big Screen discussion with Professor Milt Moise of Rollins College!
Before The Ring terrified Western audiences, there was Ringu—the groundbreaking Japanese horror film that changed the genre forever. Directed by Hideo Nakata (Dark Water) and based on Koji Suzuki’s bestselling novel, Ringu follows journalist Reiko Asakawa as she investigates a mysterious videotape said to bring death to anyone who watches it. With just seven days to unravel the curse, she descends into a chilling mystery that merges urban legend with supernatural terror.
Not only did Ringu launch a global wave of J-horror, it also redefined how atmosphere could be used to haunt audiences long after the credits roll. Its influence can be seen in countless films, from psychological thrillers to ghost stories, and even comedies. It also introduced the world to one of horror’s most iconic figures: Sadako, whose slow, silent emergence from the television screen remains a landmark moment in cinema.
About the Speaker:

Def By Temptation
2025-10-18 23:59
Screening as part of the 13+ Films of Halloween.
35th Anniversary!
Joel grew up in the church but has recently started questioning his beliefs. After sensing a supernatural presence from his deceased father, Joel becomes compelled to visit his cousin in New York. But shortly after arriving, they become embroiled in a series of mysterious homicides of local men, all of whom were last seen in the company of a mysterious and beautiful woman.
Beautifully photographed by Ernest Dickerson (Do the Right Thing) and starring Kadeem Hardison (I’m Gonna Git You Sucka) and Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction), this sole directorial effort from child actor James Bond III (School Daze) is a macabre, neon-tinged portrait of late 1980s Brooklyn.
Released by Troma Entertainment, better known for Toxic Avenger films, Def by Temptation stands out as a stylish, and socially aware piece of horror, exploring the themes of religious doubt, toxic masculinity, and the consequences of unchecked desire in a time when HIV/AIDS cast a long shadow over urban nightlife. Though it was overlooked by mainstream audiences at the the time of its initial release, the film has since earned a rabid fan base and scholarly attention as a vital example of early 1990s Black horror—a precursor to works like Tales from the Hood, Bones and Candyman, and a trailblazer in a lineage that would eventually lead to the success of Jordan Peele’s Get Out.

Have you ever wondered how you would survive a vampire attack if the night never ended?
Directed by David Slade (Hard Candy, Hannibal) and based on the IDW graphic novel of the same name by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith, 30 Days of Night is set in the remote town of Barrow, Alaska where the sun sets for an entire month each year. The small group of residents who remain to keep the town running are unaware that a nightmare is descending upon them. A brutal, bloodthirsty pack of vampires led by the eerily intelligent Marlow (Danny Huston, Succession) arrives, drawn to a perfect feeding ground where sunlight won’t return for weeks. Caught in the middle is Sheriff Eben Oleson (Josh Hartnett, The Faculty), who, along with his estranged wife Stella (Melissa George, Turistas) and a dwindling number of townspeople, must survive in silence and shadows, scavenging for safe hiding places while facing extreme cold, isolation, and overwhelming terror. With no hope of rescue, no daylight, and no way to fight creatures that hunt with inhuman speed and savagery, their only option is endurance—and sacrifice.

Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good ), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.

Martyrs
2025-10-25 23:59 - 2025-10-26 02:00
Screening as part of the 13+ Films of Halloween.
One of the most disturbing and divisive entries in the French Extremity movement, this brutal psychological horror film written and directed by Pascal Laugier follows Lucie (Mylène Jampanoï), a young woman who escapes a childhood of unspeakable abuse and, years later, tracks down the people she believes were responsible. Accompanied by her close friend Anna (Morjana Alaoui), Lucie enacts a violent revenge plan—only to uncover a far more horrific truth hidden beneath the surface.
Upon its release, Martyrs ignited fierce controversy for its unrelenting violence, graphic imagery, and emotionally devastating themes. The film garnered a notorious reputation after audience members attending the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival were left wide-eyed and mouth agape. Its reception was so shocking, it was immediately threatened with censorship in its home country, with calls for the director to be imprisoned. MARTYRS is a brutally confronting and provocative example of the French New Extremity, a work of dark brilliance and vile beauty. A genre-defining classic so profoundly traumatizing, it transcends all constraints of your average horror film and dives into the murky depths of human degradation and suffering. It’s not just a film you watch; it’s a film you survive.
Due to graphic content, no one under 18 will be permitted to this film. For more information, please see the IMDB Parents Guide for this film.
