Fright all night

EQUAL measures Russ Meyer and don't-go-in-the-water horror film, El Monstro del Mar is local filmmaker Stuart Simpson's cheap, cheerful and bawdy contribution to the horror-exploitation genre. It will kick off an all-night movie marathon at the Palace Westgarth tomorrow. Also screening in the 12-hour Cult Vault Cavalcade of Horror program are Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes, the blaxploitation vampire opus Blacula and grindhouse favourite They Call Her One Eye, the notorious 1974 Swedish thriller in which a young woman who was abused in her childhood seeks revenge. The R-rated program kicks off at 11.30pm.
