Once upon a time in 1981, The Birds star Tippi Hedren packed up her family—husband Noel Marshall, producer of The Exorcist, and daughter Melanie Griffith, who would go on to earn an Academy Award nomination for her performance in proto-feminist 1980s artifact Working Girl—and went to Africa. This was no ordinary family vacation, however. The dangers of the family get-together at hand went beyond boredom and the unearthing of buried resentments. Hedren and Co. had arrived on business, spinning the family’s predilection for making pets out of apex predators into a feature film called Roar. Alamo Drafthouse has now readied the 1981 disasterpiece for a big re-release, after it nosedived into financial ruin and obscurity following its premiere. The film was a foul-up of epic proportions, with 70 crew members sustaining injuries from their untamed feline coworkers.
