Hot on the heels of last months screening of Alien, FarGo Film Club presents John Carpenter's magnificent version of The Thing from Another World. In remote Antarctica, a group of American research scientists are disturbed at their base camp by a helicopter shooting at a sled dog. When they take in the dog, it brutally attacks both human beings and canines in the camp and they discover that the beast can assume the shape of its victims. A resourceful helicopter pilot (Kurt Russell) and the camp doctor (Richard Dysart) lead the camp crew in a desperate, gory battle against the vicious creature before it picks them all off, one by one. John Campbell's classic story "Who Goes There" was adapted once before, as Christian Nyby's The Thing from Another World, which jettisoned the alien chameleon concept in favor of a more Frankensteinian monster. A lot of people still reference the original Thing as one of the scariest movies they had seen (it does definitely have its moments), but one can only reflect that had Carpenter's version slipped through a time warp to the late 50's, there would have been a rash of cardiac arrests in theatres. The chameleon concept is brought to the fore and pushed further into the realm of the horrific via Rob Bottin's organic, uber-gooey monster FX. - Dr Freex Please support this free event at FarGo Village. Yummy, scrummy Backhaus&Co menu available on the night as well as a selection of delicious snacks and refreshments from Nikki at The Green Unicorn :-) Please feel free to share and invite! ;-) *The Thing carries an 18 certificate*

February sees the return of our regular monthly film shows in collaboration with Backhaus&Co. As a tribute to the late Harry Dean Stanton we proudly present a screening of Ridley Scott's 1979 seminal science fiction classic Alien starring Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, John Hurt, Ian Holm and Yaphet Kotto. Combining science fiction with horror, Swiss artist H.R. Giger's alien design and Carlo Rambaldi's visual effects creepily meld technology with corporeality, creating a claustrophobic environment that is coldly mechanical yet horribly anthropomorphized, like the metallic monster itself. Director Ridley Scott keeps the alien out of full view, hiding it in the dark or camouflaging it in the workings of the Nostromo. Signs of '70s cultural upheaval permeate Alien's future world, from the relationship between corporate capitalism and rapacious monstrosity to the heterogeneous crew and Ripley's forceful horror heroine. The intense frights and gross-outs, however, are credited with making Alien one of the biggest hits of 1979 (it premiered on the two-year anniversary of Star Wars); Giger, Rambaldi, et al. won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. Alien went on to spawn three genre-bending sequels (and reconditioned Ripleys): exceptional '80s actioner Aliens (1986), dark prison drama Alien 3 (1992), and exotically grotesque Alien Resurrection (1997). With its atmospheric isolation, implacable monster, and whiff of social conscience, Alien stands as one of the more thoughtful yet utterly terrifying horror films of the 1970s. - Lucia Bozzola. Backhaus&Co will be offering a delicious menu and Nikki from The Green Unicorn will be supplying a range of snacks and refreshments. As always our film shows are free so please share, invite and support! ;-) Please note Alien carries an 18 certificate.
