Popcorn

Popcorn (1991) is a horror comedy you can watch online on iFILM. A group of film students throws an all-night marathon of cheap 1950s creature features in a crumbling old theater to raise money for their department.

The gimmick is the fun part: they run the trash with in-house tricks — a giant bug on a wire, buzzing seats, smells piped into the auditorium mid-show. Trouble is, a real killer is in the crowd, and his grudge against these movies reaches back to an old cult. Jill Schoelen's heroine keeps having nightmares that line up far too neatly with what's happening for real. Gore, masks and genuine affection for vintage horror all share the same bag here. A perfect late-night pick for genre fans and a wink at gimmick king William Castle and his theater stunts. Stream Popcorn online on iFILM.
