The Whitefish Theatre Company is hosting a cinema series this weekend on a new 4K laser projector at the O’Shaughnessy Center. The series starts with a showing of “Primetime” (rated R) Friday at 7:30 p.m. Released last month, the psychological thriller is directed by Lance Oppenheim (co-director of “You Can See Everything” for all my Nathan Fielder fans out there). Singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers also makes her feature film debut in the thriller.
The part satire, part horror flick stars Robert Pattinson as television host Chris Hansen as it dramatizes the behind-the-scenes of the reality TV series “To Catch a Predator.” The film follows Hansen as he confronts and exposes adult men who are under the impression they are meeting up with minors.

Saturday’s showing at 7:30 p.m. is the horror classic “Halloween,” Jamie Lee Curtis’ breakout film which follows teenage babysitter Laurie Strode as she becomes the target of masked killer Michael Myers.
