THE EXORCIST returns in soul-possessing 4K!

Joining the programme this Friday 29th September, from a 4K restoration, is the late-great William Friedkin's THE EXORCIST. It's one of the scariest films of all-time, that has been terrifying audiences for decades – and it's back to continue its reign of terror in our HorrOctober programme.

CHILD'S PLAY ruined my childhood!

No film series has given this writer more sleepless nights than Don Mancini's CHILD'S PLAY series (particularly parts 1 - 3). Why did my parents let me watch these films when I was a little kid? We're talking 3 or 4-years-old that I vividly remember seeing these films, and having nightmares about that voodoo possessed red-headed doll.

LARS VON TRIER : ENDURING PROVOCATIONS

Courtesy of Curzon Artificial Eye, the works of one of world cinema's most renowned and daring provocateurs will return to our screens from August to November, with the new retrospective LARS VON TRIER: ENDURING PROVOCATIONS.

Prince Charles Cinema mystery movie :)

Prince Charles Cinema Mystery Movie Night:
You can tell it had a budget of $130,000, but I love it for that. The early hip hop influenced camera angles, shots & settings make up for the lack of cash. How Leslie Harris didn't get to make anymore films is outrageous. More stories like this need to be told.
