Prepare for a hypnotic attack on the senses...and all forms of good taste. When a documentary film crew visits the jungles of Malaysia to investigate a witch's tomb, they discover more than they bargained for in the form of haunted trees, wild possessions, and scorpions - lots and lots of scorpions. Written by Amy Chan Suet Ming (her second and final horror movie), RED SPELL SPELLS RED is a sleazy, hallucinogenic mash-up that filters the spirits of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and EVIL DEAD through the prism of Hong Kong horror. Previously impossible to see outside of murky bootlegs, the movie has been restored in an "animal cruelty-free" version from the original film elements.
Music Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory. These films may sometimes contain upsetting, outdated, or offensive material. While we aim to introduce many of our screenings, we do not always provide warnings about potentially triggering content within the films we screen. We encourage our patrons to research the film before they attend using trailers, reviews, or content information found on Common Sense Media, IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com.
