Extinction! The dinosaurs had vanished. A meteor impact, striking from the depths of space, had ended the age of Reptiles. By the Eocene, the surviving MAMMALS had risen from the ashes to fill the void left by the dinosaurs and now rule the planet. . . But just what were these survivors and what did they become?

Catch A Thrill! Ten Years of the American Genre Film Archive

AGFA ( American Genre Film Archive) or better known as much of the batsh*t insane section of Cinefile is having a special six-movie spectacle over at UCLA's Billy WIld Theater. What got my attention most of all was a screening of Don't Panic, a messed-up Mexican version of Nightmare on Elm Street with teenagers that looks like adults, because they are. I heard about this one from the horror news and reviews, Shock Waves Podcast...and sure enough they're apart of it. They're filming a live episode with the screening and chatting with the director.
