Advance ticket info coming soon for Scum of the Earth!

Presented by Grindhouse Releasing!

On a romantic vacation at a lakeside cabin in Texas, a city gal flees into the backwoods after a lurking, unseen psycho slays her husband with an axe. Lost and panicked, she runs into the mean, moonshine-swilling patriarch to a degenerate clan of hillbillies. She becomes trapped in Pickett’s isolated rural shack, confronted with the family’s wretched life of poverty and abuse, while the maniacal killer stalks the woods, striking again and again.

Scum of the Earth ranked among the top-grossing nationwide movies when it screened in 1976 as Poor White Trash Part II. Armed guards were stationed at theatres to shield minors from the “abnormal” subject matter, and audiences were warned that “this film captures poor white trash in their natural habitat.”

Noted for his ability to create creepy ambience on a low budget, Brownrigg has been called “one of the great forgotten men of exploitation cinema.”

“a very entertaining script” (Movies & Maina)

“A masterpiece.” (B & S About Movies)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
