Description

This October, The Frida Cinema is proud to present Beautiful Monsters: A Guillermo del Toro Film Retrospective and Tribute Art Show, featuring all eleven of the Academy Award-winning director’s feature films; three acclaimed films he produced; and seven films that served to inspire him. The series continues at The Frida Cinema with Blade II, the sequel to 1998's Marvel Comics adaptation Blade. Following the titular human-vampire hybrid, Blade rescues his old mentor in Prague when the town is hit by a disturbing new pandemic. Turning victims into savage mutants called "Reapers", the pandemic affects humans and vampires across the city alike. Faced with the possible eradication of both their respective species, Blade and his human allies are forced to join forces with their vampire enemies to take on this unprecedented threat.
