Gaia & Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion

Aug 3, 2023

Is Mother Nature trying to kill you? Are sadistic guards crafting plots to break you? Do you like weird camera angles? If so, this double feature is for you - we get earthy with trippy eco-horror Gaia (South Africa, 2021) and debate the value of exploitation classic Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion (Japan, 1972). Also - a creepy doll, a queer ghost and an empowering zombie apocalypse are all dropping over the next two weeks.
