This past year my favorite was Amy Holden Jones’s Slumber Party Massacre, at once a exceptionally well-made suspense thriller and engrossing hang out film, a pointed feminist critique of and tribute to the slasher genre. So for the last couple of Halloweens I’ve been trying to catch up with the classics I didn’t see when I was young. I’m not someone who grew up on horror movies I’m an 80s kid who basically missed the entire slasher film era when it was happening. Slumber Party Massacre at the Beacon Cinema There will be no Seattle Screen Scene for the foreseeable future. The various chains and other theatres are all upping their theatre cleaning procedures and most are reducing to 50% capacity to help with social distancing.Īnd now (Monday) the Beacon, the Ark Lodge, the Central Cinema, all Faraway Entertainment Theatres (The Admiral, the Varsity, etc) and all Regal Cinemas are closed as well.Īs of Tuesday morning, AMC, Landmark, and Cinemark have closed as well. On Saturday the Northwest Film Forum announced that they too were closing. And the Grand Cinema will be closed but for a handful of special shows for at least the next two weeks. We have a lot of great independent theatres here (the Grand Illusion, The Northwest Film Forum, The Beacon, The Ark Lodge, etc) and it would be a disaster for the community were we to lose any of them.Įdit: And now (Friday afternoon) SIFF has announced that all three of its theatres (the Egyptian, the Uptown and the SIFF Film Center) are closed as well and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Independent movie theatres operate on a slim margin to begin with, so this pandemic could mean serious trouble. We encourage you to support your local theatres by buying gift cards if you’re able to. The Grand Illusion is closed until April beginning on Friday, as are the Seattle Art Museum’s film programs, but more are sure to follow if (when) things get worse. Things are changing fast around Seattle as theatres decide whether or not to remain open, or remain partially open, or just close altogether. On a more positive note, here’s this scene from Om Shanti Om (which played at the Beacon a couple weeks ago). But as a regular source of coverage of what’s playing in the area every week, the site has been slowing down for a long time and it’s time to pull the plug. And we’ll still have the occasional review and festival coverage (SIFF has been cancelled this year but we still have hopes for VIFF). We’ll still keep the site going, if nothing else for its list of links to all the theatres in town. ![]() In that sense, the weekly listings on the site have become obsolete. When we started five years ago, it was significantly harder to find information or listings about specialty releases (art house, repertory, and Chinese/Korean/Indian movies) in the city than it is now. In other news, I don’t know if Seattle Screen Scene will be returning in its old form once the quarantine ends. Check ’em out and help support the theatres we love. The NWFF has Bacurau and Vitalina Varela along with some Local Sightings selections and more, while the Grand Illusion has Wild Goose Lake and Saint Frances. Both the Northwest Film Forum and the Grand Illusion are hosting online screenings of films they had been planning to play before the quarantine hit. As all the theatres in town continue to be closed for the foreseeable future, a couple have taken to the internet.
