Join us this summer as we turn up the thrills in The Depot Theatre for our Summer Screams on The Depot Screens! Our first-ever series lineup will showcase four summer-themed horror movies that blend the heat of the season with the classic spine-tingling chill you love from a good horror flick. Flower crowns and themed costumes encouraged. Our last movie is Evil Dead 2!

Don’t let the 2 scare you, this film is a re-make, not a continuation of The Evil Dead franchise. When Ashley Williams and his girlfriend Linda arrive at a deserted cabin in the woods, they stumble across a book which releases evil forces beyond human understanding. This beloved cult classic oozes bright red cornstarch blood and goofy charm, and it’s simply too groovy to be missed.

Dani (Florence Pugh) is really going through it right now. In the wake of a family tragedy, she receives a last-minute invite to accompany her boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor) and his friend group to Sweden for a pagan folk festival. As if having to hang out with her boyfriend’s friend group isn’t horrific enough, it quickly becomes clear that this festival is more intense than anticipated. It’s no wonder that this is the film that made A24 a household name!

Suspenseful, tender and rapturous, Boundary Waters is a lyrical coming of age drama that immerses in its young characters as they navigate a very adult world. Set in the Iron Range of Northern Minnesota, Michael Murray relishes in the carefree joys of early adolescence – girls and friends – until his mom has a black eye and a busted lip, but won’t talk about it. Michael is desperate to know what happened but his father Brian avoids him, Granny shushes him, and his usually resilient mother can’t get out of bed. While his family weighs the cost of keeping secrets against the price of telling the truth, Michael is determined to unravel the mystery of his hurt mother and his elusive father.
