5 films to see this week
Wednesday night, the long-running Cinema Overdrive series moves from Mission Valley Cinemas to the Cary Theater with a screening of Wes Craven’s 1977 horror flick “The Hills Have Eyes,” about a family fighting off blood-thirsty savages in the Nevada desert. The creepy and ultra-violent cult classic, which stars Suze Lanier-Bramlett, Michael Berryman and Dee Wallace, spawned a sequel and a 2007 remake.
The film series’ curator, Adam Hulin, said the film is “a good, strong choice to introduce The Cary to Cinema Overdrive’s mandate of showcasing movies that feature a strong dose of audacity.”
Admission is $3-$5. Details: 919-462-2051 or thecarytheater.com.
