"‘The rent won’t kill you, but something else will….’ Celebrating one year of shoe-string slashers and ketchup-splattered video nasties, Heavy Pictures screen the Mount Everest of VHS camp’n’gore. Straight from Betamax to your brainbox, this sleazy tale of a Mulholland Drive boarding house gone BAD is budget bizarro giallo of the highest/lowest order. BYO scart cable."

Come and celebrate 1 year of Heavy Pictures Presents with a special VHS screening of Boarding House 1982
We’re celebrating 1 year with a shot-on-video gem, Boarding House. Hailed as being the first shot on video films and the only film shot on video to be blown up to 35mm, Boarding House is the classic tale of a house that comes with a little extra.
A deserted house that was once home to a series of strange deaths, Jim, a self-defined sleazy playboy, re-opens the doors to the house from hell as a boarding house exclusively for models and actresses. We see that the house still has the power!
Filled with off-the-wall antics that have made Boarding House a true cult favourite, surviving in the underground and zine culture of the 80s and 90s. Saved from obscurity by Bleeding Skull and AGFA.
It’s been a crazy year since the first Heavy Pictures screening. From the beginning with Blonde Death to our latest screening celebrating 30 years of Crash, I’m forever grateful for the continued support.
NOTE: This film will be shown on a tape from 1981; the quality is reflective of its age.
Trigger Warning: Suicide, gore, nudity, assault.
Entry requirements: 18+
