We kick off our Halloween-o-thon with, dare we say it, one of Martin Scorsese's most enjoyable movies.
Scorsese plowed right into CAPE FEAR after GOODFELLAS and the transfer of energy is palpable.
In a weird twist of fate, Scorsese, who originally was meant to direct SCHINDLER'S LIST, swapped that project with Spielberg who was originally meant to direct CAPE FEAR as Spielberg finally felt ready to direct SCHINDLER'S which had scared him for some time.
Scorsese decided to take the opportunity to turn in the closest movie to Hitchcock that he ever got.
CAPE FEAR, itself a remake of the 1960's CAPE FEAR starring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum, tells the complicated and guilt ridden story of flawed attorney Sam Bowden (a stunningly good Nick Nolte) who finds his family under siege by newly released convict Max Cade (a totally committed terrifying Robert De Niro) who has scores to settle with Bowden.
But Cade has been planning his revenge for years while in jail and Bowden finds it nightmarishly impossible to use the law. . .or any other means. . .to rid himself of Cade's terror.
As Cade's revenge gets closer to ruining Bowden's family forever, Bowden takes extraordinary measures to try to fight back.
Filled with incredible Scorsese moviemaking with the help of cinematography by all-time great Freddie Francis (THE ELEPHANT MAN, THE INNOCENTS, etc), dynamite performances from De Niro, Nolte, Jessica Lange, Juliette Lewis, CAPE FEAR becomes a meditation on how our sins come back to haunt us. . .often in forms we least expected.
Join us for one hell of a ride through guilt, revenge, terror.
Best always,
Craig Hammill

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR IN-DOOR THEATER SCREENINGS
REFUNDS:
We can offer refunds up to 24 hours before showtime. Please request a refund through Eventbrite and we will process ASAP. After that, no refunds. Sorry.
However if something last minute comes up and you can’t make the screening, for whatever reason, just write us at: community@secretmovieclub.com and we’ll offer you complimentary tickets to a future screening.
WHY ARE THE TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN NORMAL?
In order for us to re-open, maintain health protocols , and screen movies on 35MM, we need to temporarily raise our ticket prices. We apologize.
However, if you could look at this as partially helping the Secret Movie Club Theater re-open, make the improvements as we go to turn this into the amazing movie watching, movie making center we know it can be, we would be eternally grateful.
We should be able to lower our ticket prices soon as we are able to increase capacity and lower restrictions.
If you could look at this as all of us being in this together, we WILL remember your kindness.
HELPFUL SECRET MOVIE CLUB (1917 Bay Street, 2nd Floor, LA, CA 90021) THEATER PARKING TIPS:
We recommend that you park just outside our theater. Remember our theater is actually in a beautiful street art alleyway in the back of the 1917 Bay Street building. You get to our entrance by taking a right on Wilson, then a right behind the building. We are the first set of black steps on the right after the big gate.
We will have a staff member on duty to monitor all cars parked in the street-art alleyway at our entrance.
There is also a parking lot at the corner of Mateo and Violet Street, just 2 blocks from our theater, which costs $7 per car.
HOW WILL OUR STAFF MAKE SURE THE THEATER IS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE:
We will have staff in the theater at all times who make sure everyone is wearing masks and obeying protocols. We will have signage at entrance, markings at concessions, restrooms, etc so folks keep 6 ft distance at all times.
Anyone not observing safe protocols will kindly be asked to leave. On top of this, we’ll be making announcements at the head of each screening to make sure everyone understands the rules & regs!
