This 35mm presentation continues del Toro’s city-wide celebration of monster cinema, which has included screenings of King Kong, Bride of Frankenstein, and other classics across L.A. venues. But the Egyptian run stands apart. Not only for its historic setting but for the tactile, dreamlike quality of film projection that del Toro himself champions. His exciting adaptation expands on his body of fantastical tales focusing on the outsider, and this analog format captures every detail in his haunting retelling.
