This looks cool. If I was Hell-A located, I'd definitely beat a path down to this screening. I'd love to hear Clive Barker's take on Cronenberg's BROOD. Any denizens of the City of Angels planning to attend?

In this memorably twisted film by David Cronenberg, a newly and unhappily divorced woman, Nola Carveth (Samantha Eggar), seeks treatment from an eccentric psychiatrist (Oliver Reed). Using the doctor’s innovative, theatrical methods, Nola is encouraged to work through her feelings of hurt and rage over the breakup of her marriage through bodily manifestation. But Nola goes a step further: she gives birth to living incarnations of her deepest, darkest impulses, generating deformed children on a killing spree against Nola’s ex-husband (Art Hindle) and his loved ones. (1979, 92 min.)
 
Bestselling horror and fantasy writer and filmmaker Clive Barker is perhaps best known for the highly acclaimed horror flick Hellraiser, which marked his feature-film directing debut. Based on a novella by Barker entitled The Hellbound Heart, the film has developed a loyal cult following and has spawned several lines of comic books and three movie sequels. In 1995, he directed his second feature film, the fantastic Lord of Illusions. Barker was also the executive producer of Candyman, which was based on his short story "The Forbidden."
 
A moderated discussion with Barker follows the screening.
