HOLLYWOOD 90028
Grindhouse Releasing proudly presents Christina Hornisher's 1973 shocker HOLLYWOOD 90028.
HOLLYWOOD 90028 stars Christopher Augustine as an alienated porno-film cameraman turned serial strangler. The supporting cast includes Jeannette Dilger, Gayle Davis, and Dick Glass.
HOLLYWOOD 90028 has drawn comparisons to PEEPING TOM and TAXI DRIVER. The film boasts an early score by legendary composer Basil Poledouris (CONAN THE BARBARIAN, ROBOCOP). The film played at grindhouse theaters and drive-ins as THE HOLLYWOOD HILLSIDE STRANGLER and TWISTED THROATS, but has never appeared on TV or home video in the United States.
Rescued from obscurity by Grindhouse Releasing. HOLLYWOOD 90028 now comes to theaters newly restored from the original camera negatives. The 4K restoration fully reveals the poetic, artful quality of Hornisher’s film and its striking camerawork by Jean-Pierre Geuens (LEMORA), who captured a final shot that has stunned critics, filmmakers, and audiences alike.

Reviews

"Somewhere between art film and exploitation. A bizarre, lost, and lonely low-budget time capsule of Los Angeles with a final shot that needs to be seen to be believed."
- Ti West, director of HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, X and MAXXXINE -
"To watch 90028 is to slowly sink into the murky land of lost dreams that was, and still is, the underbelly of Tinsel Town. Christina Hornisher’s lens looks presciently and compassionately at how the human heart can become so twisted that the one thing more terrifying than committing murder can be finding love. It’s not just a horror film. It’s a statement. And if that wasn’t enough, she caps off the film with one of the ballsiest and most provocative shots possibly ever made in Hollywood!"
- Arkasha Stevenson, director of THE FIRST OMEN -
"Part indie arthouse, part grindhouse and part historical travelogue of a now-vanished Los Angeles. Cursed with being decades ahead of its time, HOLLYWOOD 90028, Christina Hornisher's sole feature film, is a must-see."
- Sean Baker, director of TANGERINE and ANORA -
“I was blown away!”
– Buddy Giovinazzo, director of COMBAT SHOCK and LIFE IS HOT IN CRACKTOWN -
"Seeing Christina Hornisher’s film, HOLLYWOOD 90028, is like time traveling into the past to see the magnificent future of cinema."
- Nicolas Winding Refn, director of THE NEON DEMON -
“HOLLYWOOD 90028 has been blessed with much-deserved new life…a breathtaking 4K restoration from Grindhouse Releasing.”
– Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, FANGORIA -
"One of the craziest final shots I've ever seen...the audience collectively and audibly GASPED. Hollywood Babylon tales don't get much bleaker than this."
- Joe Lynch, director of SUITABLE FLESH and WRONG TURN 2 -
"HOLLYWOOD 90028 is an unsettling, haunting film…an original and unforgettable viewing experience."
- Anna Biller, director of THE LOVE WITCH
-
“Is it a formless, ennui-soaked art film or an unnerving serial killer thriller? Its mind-rending, final catharsis reveals it’s the essential missing link to both genres.”
- Dan Waters, screenwriter of HEATHERS -
"A rare and exciting discovery…Powerful arthouse horror from a filmmaker who should have had a prolific career."
- William Bibbiani, THE WRAP -
"A ferocious time capsule of 1970s Los Angeles that expertly bounces between Cassavetes style realism, self-reflexive art film, and scuzzy exploitation. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen."
- Larry Karaszewski, co-writer of ED WOOD and DOLEMITE IS MY NAME -
"Surprisingly atmospheric and polished...an eerie hybrid of art film and 1970s grindhouse. 'HOLLYWOOD 90028' boasts one of the most incredible final shots ever."
- James Verniere, Boston Movie News -
"The sort of moment that fans of cult film live for: outrageous, unnerving, and the sort of thing you’d never see in a “normal” movie."
- Oscar Goff, Boston Hassle -
"Uncommonly thoughtful and haunting...a proto-“Taxi Driver” wallow-in-neon-lit-depravity proving that back then the left coast could be just as seedy as Times Square."
- Sean Burns, North Shore Movies -
"HOLLYWOOD 90028i s one of the greatest films ever made about how truly brutal Hollywood’s dream factory can be on those whose dreams don’t come true — the final shot of the movie is stunning"
- Jim Hemphill, IndieWire -
“An astonishing example of the gold that can be found by panning through the polluted waters of exploitation cinema”
- Marc Mohan, Oregon ArtsWatch
