Sudden Fury

Presented by the American Genre Film Archive!

A psychotic entrepreneur hopes to convince his wife to invest in a shady land deal. The wife refuses, and the couple continue their heated argument while driving through the Ontario backwoods. When their car crashes, she is seriously injured, but he leaves the scene, hoping that his wife won’t last the night.

“Sudden Fury is great forgotten Canuxploitation… bordering on Blood Simple territory…this get my highest recommendation, especially, if you’re Canadian.” (Film Trap)

“Packed with Hitchcockian suspense…not to mention a top-notch villain…Sudden Fury packs a real wallop.” (TIFF)

“A riveting and criminally under-seen Hitchcockian thriller…ranks as one of the finest forgotten films to emerge out of Canada’s mid 70s” (Vinegar Syndrome)

“a big favorite of ours from the Canadian genre canon…an impeccable big-screen thrill ride” (American Genre Film Archive)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
