Cinema Ray presents Heavy Metal
Cinema Ray presents the 1981 dark erotic fantasy/horror animation, Heavy Metal.
“Adventures from deep space to futuristic New York, and beyond. Each world and story is dominated by the presence of the Loch’nar — the sum of all evils manifest as a glowing green sphere whose power infects all times, all galaxies, all dimensions. To some, it appears as treasure, a green jewel they must possess. Others worship it as a god. Few escape it. Even in death and through death its powers continue. From war to war and world to world it seems invincible.”
Be sure to get there early for entry into a drawing for some cool prizes. Seating is limited!
