Antenna Releasing and Pure Cinema Podcast present “Weird, Wild, and Wonderful Wednesdays” at Braindead Studios, a collaboration between the newest indie distributor on the block and the official podcast of Quentin Tarantino’s New Beverly Cinema – invading the coolest spot to see underground movies on the West Side. First up: Bruce Toscano’s 1984 underground classic, The Jar.

Join Pure Cinema hosts Elric Kane and Brian Saur as they present this newly restored oddity from the fine folks at Terror Vision. Synopsis: A motorist who comes upon an auto accident finds a bottle at the scene. The bottle contains a demon who proceeds to possess him. That’s all you need to know, and the less you know the better!

The Jar (aka Charon) was released by Magnum Entertainment in 1984 and was omnipresent in video rental stores. While the film was shot in scope, the distributor released it in a butchered cropped presentation cutting out about half of the intended frame in a murky VHS transfer. Terror Vision has restored Charon/The Jar using a partial camera negative along with a print to finally offer director Bruce Toscano’s unique vision in all its beautiful, color drenched glory. Accompanied by a stunning synth score.
