Friday’s movie! 1982’s NEXT OF KIN. In a rest home, a daughter reads her mother's diary, and events from it begin to happen to her. NEXT OF KIN is a slasher mystery—-and the best horror movie you've never seen. NEXT OF KIN went unnoticed for a number of years in Australia, but fans kept its memory alive. Quentin Tarantino, one of the film’s most vocal admirers, compared it favorably to THE SHINING. Presented by B-movie expert A.C. Nicholas as part of his Hidden Gems series.
