Introducing the FRIGHT BREAK!
When the tension peaks, you have 45 seconds to flee the theater for a full refund! Will you brave the terror or join the Coward's Corner? Don’t miss this spine-chilling experience—Homicidal is waiting for YOU!
Step into the eerie world of HOMICIDAL, William Castle´s daring homage to Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO! Set in a sleepy California town, the film opens with a shocking murder: a justice of the peace is brutally stabbed during a wedding ceremony. As the investigation unfolds, dark family secrets are revealed, intertwining the fates of a mysterious woman named Emily and the affluent Webster family.
William Castle's "Fright Break" gimmick invites audiences to leave and get back their money if they dare not face the shocking climax, adding an interactive thrill to this already suspenseful narrative. The film features Jean Arless ( akak Joan Marshall) in a dual role that blurs gender lines, showcasing her versatility and adding layers to the story's intrigue. With its blend of horror and dark humor, Homicidal stands as a schlock masterpiece, inviting viewers to explore themes of identity and familial loyalty amidst a backdrop of terror.
