Cult/Occult: Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
This screening took place on Tuesday, June 27, 2017 at 9:00 pmThe Beer Tasters' Social House
Yukon Film Society and The Beer Tasters' Social House present a new film series highlighting exceptionally bizarre cult and underground films! Horror, exploitation, schlock and more will sully the screen at The Social House once a month this summer so come on down for some great beer and free popcorn! Entry is by donation!
Our first film is Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970), Russ Meyer's musical parody/sequel to Twentieth Century Fox's own Valley of the Dolls (1967)! Three young women in a rock band move to Los Angeles to seek fame and fortune but soon drugs, sex, and murder endanger their plans... and their lives.
"Whatever its faults or virtues, "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" is an original -- a satire of Hollywood conventions, genres, situations, dialogue, characters and success formulas, heavily overlaid with such shocking violence that some critics didn't know whether the movie "knew" it was a comedy." - Roger Ebert
