Psychotronic Film Society presents "Wedlock," aka "Deadlock" (UK, 1991)

  • The Sentient Bean Cafe 13 E. Park Ave. Savannah, GA 31401 USA (map)

On Sept. 19, the PFS’ long-running Wednesday night series of underappreciated or downright obscure feature films from around the world continues with a 27th anniversary screening of the way-cool 1991 British-made romantic sci-fi thriller “Wedlock,” starring Rutger “Blade Runner” Hauer, Mimi “The Original Mrs. Tom Cruise” Rogers, Joan “Twin Peaks” Chen, James “The Warriors” Remar and Stephen “Damn Near Everything Cool” Tobolowsky.

Also known as “Deadlock,” this inventive little flick was not released theatrically here in the States, but on cable instead. Don’t let that fool you, though, it’s clearly worthy of the big screen, as it did well in theaters throughout Europe and the U.K. Essentially, it’s a futuristic remake of “The Defiant Ones,” but with a bizarre twist: Two inmates at an experimental prison camp (one male, one female) escape in search of a hidden stash of diamonds. However, they are both fitted with electronic collars that will explode if they ever get more than 100 yards from one another. The PFS will show the rare, uncut widescreen version, which has never been seen in the USA. 8 p.m. showtime.
