On Wednesday, September 24, Movies @ Old Town Hall is proud to screen Ms .45, directed by Abel Ferrara, 1981.

New York, 1980. Assaulted at gunpoint on her way home from work, mute seamstress Thana returns to the safety of her apartment only to be assaulted again by a burglar; but this time she fights back. Bludgeoning her assailant with an iron, she takes his gun and begins to dispose of the body piece by piece. Fueled by her trauma, Thana sees that sexual threats are everywhere in the city and decides to bring a .45 calibre solution to the problem. A devestating depiction of sexual violence and female rage, with a stunning central performance from Zoë Lund (credited as Zoë Tamerlis), Ms .45 is a terrifying revenge-thriller in the tradition of Death Wish and Taxi Driver that will blow you away.

Ms .45
 is 80 minutes long and rated R. Viewer discretion is advised.
