BLACK MAMBA

BLACK MAMBA

(2016, USA, Belinda M. Wilson)

102 mins18
A mysterious neighborhood sorceress known as Black Mamba offers potions, spells, and supernatural solutions to desperate people seeking to change their lives. Behind the façade of a helpful occult practitioner, she secretly traps demons in jars and uses dark magic to manipulate the fates of those who come to her door. Each visitor arrives with a wish or problem they believe magic can solve, but the bargains they strike lead to grotesque and often horrific consequences.

Structured as a series of twisted cautionary tales, Black Mamba follows characters whose desires spiral into surreal punishment, from couples seeking miracle cures to individuals chasing beauty, love, or forbidden fantasies. As Black Mamba’s spells unleash monstrous transformations, demonic encounters, and violent retribution, the film embraces an unrestrained DIY aesthetic packed with homemade effects and wildly imaginative imagery, creating a chaotic piece of outsider horror driven by its creator’s singular vision.

THE DEVIL'S RAIN

(1975, USA, Robert Fuest)

85 mins18
A satanic panic drive-in rendering of a stoner rock album... The Devil's Rain starts by tossing us into the claustrophobic chaos of a rain drenched house in full panic/under siege from devil acolytes before switching to a desolate desert ghost town with no rain in sight before ending with a dirge of eyeless acolytes MELTING and turning to mushy goo while the devils rains pours through the ceiling. Starring Ernest Borgnine and William Shatner.
