Starring John Goodman and Lisa Jakub, this period comedy film is an ensemble piece about the home front in the Cuban Missile Crisis combined with a tribute to independent filmmaker William Castle, producer of
Die 7 Särge des Dr. Horror and
Mörderisch - Die Geschichte einer Psycho-Killerin.
It\'s 1962 and 15-year-old horror film fan Gene Loomis (Simon Fenton) is the new kid in a small Key West town. The Cuban Missile Crisis is happening in his own backyard, an intriguing girl (Jakub) is looking his way, and best of all, master showman Lawrence Woolsey (Goodman) is in town promoting his latest sci-fi horror flick. Gene and his friends gather at the local theater for the debut of MANT! - A terrifying tale of one man\'s mutation into a demonic ant. At the theater they experience the thrill of a lifetime but in the real world the threat of nuclear war looms overhead. MATINEE is a masterful homage to B-movie science fiction classics of the 1950s and \'60s that ingeniously combines science fiction shock and suspense with the real life horror of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
