New horror films almost never get struck to 35mm any more, which makes Roxy's Saturday late show a genuinely unusual object: a 2026 vampire picture arriving in Tribeca on an actual print. The setup is pure regional-legend fun — a college radio DJ, a punk band, a woodland cemetery full of friars who were buried for being undead. Director Kurtis Spieler sticks around afterwards to answer for it.
What to expect
78 minutes of practical-minded independent horror from a 35mm print, in Roxy's cellar-level room at 2 Avenue of the Americas. Director Kurtis Spieler does a post-screening Q&A moderated by Justin LaLiberty. It is the last Roxy show of the night, so the room skews genre crowd rather than tourists.
