NIGHT LIGHT

A GOOD MOVIE CAN MAKE YOUR DAY. A GREAT ONE CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE.

What makes a film “cult?” Is it a lost masterpiece? A “so bad it’s good” camp treasure? Or, like the haunted VHS tape in THE RING, is it a dark, dark door that should have never been opened?
 
Cinema Salem brings you entries from the cult canon and new nuggets of negative energy, ready to be unearthed. 
 
While Salem sleeps, we keep the light burning.
 
 
All shows are Friday night, 10 pm
 
 

Django

Night Light presents a series of classic and contemporary cult films from around the world on the second and fourth Friday of every month.

--------------------------------------------------------------

With an addictively catchy theme song, this definitive spaghetti western by Sergio Corbucci (THE GREAT SILENCE, COMPAÑEROS) made an international star out of Franco Nero and officially ushered in the subgenre alongside Leone’s “Man With No Name” Trilogy. DJANGO’s brand of bleak nihilism would be repeatedly emulated in a raft of over 50 unofficial sequels.

Nero gives a career-defining performance as Django, a mysterious, charming loner who arrives at a mud-drenched ghost town on the Mexico-US border, ominously dragging a coffin behind him…
