Vanishing on 7th Street
Premieres Wednesday, February 16th at 8:00pm followed by encore presentations at 9:45pm and 11:30pm
Starring: Hayden Christensen, Thandie Newton, John Leguizamo
Directed by Brad Anderson
From director Brad Anderson (Session 9, Transsiberian, and The Machinist) comes VANISHING ON 7TH STREET,
a terrifying, apocalyptic thriller that taps into one of humankind's most primal anxieties: fear of the dark. An unexplained
blackout plunges the city of Detroit into total darkness, and by the time the sun rises, only a few people remain-surrounded
by heaps of empty clothing, abandoned cars and lengthening shadows. A small handful of strangers that have survived the
night (Hayden Christensen, Thandie Newton, John Leguizamo and newcomer Jacob Latimore) each find their way to a
rundown bar, whose gasoline-powered generator and stockpile of food and drink make it the last refuge in a deserted city.
With daylight beginning to disappear completely and whispering shadows surrounding the survivors, they soon discover that
the enemy is the darkness itself, and only the few remaining light sources can keep them safe. As time begins to run out for
them, darkness closes in and they must face the ultimate terror.

Monthly Schedule

Hmmm... the Spotlight Features and some of the Retro's will get timers for sure...

Why are they waiting till the end of the month to air Blade Trinity??? Been wanting to see it again since Starz replays Blade II over and over and over again... can't go to Netflix to stream anything but that either which is really getting on my nerves!! I had to get the disks of both first 2 Underworlds sent to me cause they won't stream them along with the last one.
