Welcome to this week’s edition of Back Lot 605’s Coming Soon column! Without a doubt, this October is going to be the single busiest movie month that we’ve had since the start of the pandemic… and as you’ll see below, just this first weekend of October alone is jam-packed with titles! (And if that weren’t enough, Back Lot 605 is also mounting its first-ever film festival this weekend as well!) Here’s what coming soon for the week of October 1st, 2021:
Featured Title: Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Three years ago, Tom Hardy introduced us to his singularly bizarre performance as Eddie Brock/Venom in 2018’s Venom… and ended up being the highlight of an otherwise very uneven comic book flick. (Remember the scene involving the lobster tank? Of course you do!) The movie’s post-credits scene teased a future showdown between Eddie/Venom and the incarcerated Cletus Kasady, aka Carnage… played by Woody Harrelson in a truly frightening wig! And now, that showdown is finally here, after a year of COVID delays… and replacing the first film’s Ruben Fleischer in the director’s chair is Gollum himself, Andy Serkis! Michelle Williams returns as Eddie’s ex-wife (but will She-Venom make an appearance???)… and Reid Scott and Naomie Harris both join the cast. (Opens Friday, October 1st in theaters nationwide, including the Century Stadium 14 & XD, the Century East at Dawley Farm, and the West Mall 7 in Sioux Falls, with previews beginning at 4PM on Thursday, September 30th.)

The Dark Knight
Titane
This weekend, the State is also bringing in a brand-new theatrical release… on its nationwide opening weekend! On top of that, it’s also the winner of the prestigious Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival! Written and directed by Julia Ducournau (Raw), it follows Alexia (Agathe Rousselle), a car model who has a titanium plate surgically fused to her skull, as a result of a childhood car accident. From there, she… well, it’s probably best if I don’t say anything, but suffice to say that it’s all very R-rated. 🙂 (Showing Friday, October 1st, Saturday, October 2nd, Sunday, October 3rd and Thursday, October 7th at the State Theatre.)
House (Hausu)
This weekend brings us the first of the State’s four Late Night at the State offerings for the month of October… and it’s gonna be a wild one! Yes, this is the cult Japanese 1977 horror-comedy about a group of students who wind up in a haunted house. And like Titane, the less said, the better! Of note: Admission to House is free for State members! (Showing one night only, Friday, October 1st at the State Theatre.)
