October 19, 2008 — PDXPIPELINE
I really hope you have saved your money up and rested, because there are really an amazing amount of Halloween-related events this year in Portland. We have many more coming, and feel free to send any events that we have missed to pdxpipeline at the gmail.
Also, we'll be rolling around on Halloween weekend with live pictures, tweets, and possibly video of the events. The easiest way to follow that will be Twitter.com/pdxpipeline

What do you do the night BEFORE Halloween? The night before HE CAME HOME? Why, you go to a naturally haunted house like the Bagdad Theater to watch the PORTLAND PREMIERE of Eric Red's new ghost movie, 100 FEET.
***25 FREE PASSES AVAILABLE AT FLOATING WORLD COMICS***
We're excited to be doing the Portland premiere. 100 FEET is about a woman (Famke Janssen, X-MEN), released from jail for murdering her husband, a NYC cop. Under house arrest, she wears an ankle cuff (she can't go more than 100 feet). The catch is–her slain husband's ghost is still around, in the house, mean as ever…
in other words, HOME…NOT ALONE
Writer-Director Eric Red will be in attendance. You may know his screenplays for THE HITCHER, NEAR DARK and BLUE STEEL (the latter two co-written with Kathryn Bigelow). Eric also directed COHEN AND TATE, BODY PARTS, and BAD MOON. Appearing with Red, will be one of the actors, Michael Pare (EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS, STREETS OF FIRE).
100 FEET is a crisp, rocky chiller with moments of wracked emotion. It uses the genre of a ghost story to allegorize spousal abuse. The mood benefits visually from Ken Kelsch (who photographed Abel Ferrara's BAD LIEUTENANT and THE FUNERAL with Vincent Gallo and Benicio Del Toro), but the star of 100 FEET is Janssen. She's in every scene: tough, manic, vulnerable, sexy, penitent, very Scorpio…similar to Sigourney Weaver in ALIEN.
And there's a murder scene that makes EASTERN PROMISES look chic and weak. It's probably the best murder scene since SCARFACE.
