Two young missionaries (Sophie Thatcher & Chloe East) are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant), becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse.

Our Skate Video Night series presents a monthly program of top-shelf skate videos, presented on VHS and DVD curated by our friend Chris Albiston.

It's hard to say anything more about this movie than the fact that it's one of our very favorites. We haven't shown it since our first anniversary in August 2019, and we're excited to bring it back as a post-Thanksgiving palate cleanser. The last four weeks of 2024 may or may not go better because you took the time to go see JURASSIC PARK in the theater, but it sure as hell isn't going to hurt.

There are plenty of holiday-themed horror movies to go around -- we even got another pretty solid Thanksgiving-centric one as recently as last year -- but there's a reason 1987's BLOOD RAGE has become one of Central Cinema's most-revisited seasonal favorites: from surprise black sheep dinner guests to heroic matriarchal wine pours, BLOOD RAGE offers an obscenely enjoyable riff on Turkey Day complications, and remains one of the most persuasive cases for certain "bad" movies being way more entertaining than most "good" movies. Don't miss out!

Our $7 monthly Martial Arts Theatre series is a deep-cut grab bag of kung fu fun... now on the first Monday of every month!

Before becoming a standup comedian, Jeff Greenspan was BuzzFeed’s first Chief Creative Officer and worked closely with Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook. A media professional by day, he turned media prankster by night, orchestrating some of New York City’s (and the Internet’s) most humorous and daring stunts. His mischief often hijacked the news cycle and went viral on social media. With DEVIANT ACTS, Jeff shares a collection of pranks targeting hipsters, corporate criminals, and other ills of society, alongside standup lampooning pop culture and media from an insider’s perspective.

Knoxville Poetry Slam is a $5 monthly live poetry open mic presented by Lane Shuler and Jonathan "Courageous" Clark, who travel the country performing as I.N.K. Spoken Word.

We're pleased to team up with the Knox County Public Library's Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound for a free monthly screening event, including both regionally-relevant feature films and exclusive dispatches from their extensive archive of audiovisual treasures. 

We've long championed this seasonal slasher as the greatest Christmas film ever made, and there was no way we were going to let the 40th anniversary slip by without doing something special. That's right: this year's annual Knoxville Horror Film Fest X-MAS Party will feature "Billy" himself in attendance as SNDN star Robert Brian Wilson joins us for an intro and Q&A, plus exclusive merch and photo opportunities. (Additional costs may apply.) We've also got an extra special Secret Santa Screening to round out our Silent Night Deadly Double... don't miss this rare holiday treat courtesy of Central Cinema and KHFF!
