Bay Area Movies: So I Married an Axe Murderer (35mm)

Presented by Bay Area Movies!

Introduced by Jason Moore of Bay Area Movies

There are movies that happen to take place in San Francisco, and then there are movies that could only exist there. So I Married an Axe Murderer is firmly in the latter camp. Mike Myers’ cult classic follows commitment phobic poet Charlie MacKenzie as his whirlwind romance with butcher Harriet Michaels is complicated by the growing suspicion that she may be the notorious serial killer known as “Mrs. X.”

Funny, romantic, and unmistakably San Francisco, the film has become a beloved snapshot of the city in the early 1990s, capturing its neighborhoods, landmarks, and unmistakable character with genuine affection. Whether you have quoted it for years or have never seen it on the big screen, join us in celebrating one of San Francisco’s most iconic cult films with the audience it deserves.
