Florida readers, clear your calendars for Wednesday, April 15, as Popcorn Frights has announced a pulse-pounding, must-attend one-night-only cinematic event that plunges audiences into the jaws of terror – completely FREE*!
Prepare to descend into the abyss as acclaimed action maestro Renny Harlin makes a special in-person appearance for a double-feature event celebrating his electrifying return to shark-infested cinema!
The night begins at 7:00 pm with a special presentation of Deep Water, courtesy of Magenta Light Studios. Harlin’s latest delivers a relentless, edge-of-your-seat survival story starring Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley, where a routine transpacific flight descends into chaos after a catastrophic emergency landing in the Pacific Ocean. Stranded aboard a sinking aircraft, survivors soon discover that the horrors above are nothing compared to what circles below.
But just when audiences think they’ve escaped the dark depths, Popcorn Frights drags them back under.
At 9:30 pm, the terror continues with a big screen presentation of Deep Blue Sea, the iconic shark attack film that redefined creature features for a generation. Experience the cult classic as it was meant to be seen—on the big screen, surrounded by fellow fans, and with Renny Harlin himself in attendance for both screenings.
The night unfolds at the historic Gateway Theater, transforming a beloved local venue into a feeding frenzy of cinematic carnage.
Two films. One legendary director. A whole lot of sharks. Endless terror beneath the surface.
Admission is free and seating is limited. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to secure their place in what promises to be one of the most electrifying genre events of the year.
*In keeping with its commitment to community-first programming, the festival is removing barriers to access, ensuring that theatrical experiences remain available to all during a time of economic uncertainty and hardship.
