Magnolia Ave., Ocala. Guests can enter the theatre at 5 p.m. to grab concessions or have a drink prior to the start of the film at 6 p.m.

The film depicts a man named Cody (Scott Davis) who becomes inhabited by the titular abomination who forces him to kill to feed it, providing a gore-filled watching experience. It’s perfect for horror enthusiasts with its grotesque body-horror and scenes depicting graphic killer moments.
The second movie that will be featured is “Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky” (1991), a Hong Kong splatter film directed by Lam Nai-Choi.
