Film4 FrightFest Allnighter (18)
600 mins
Please note: this was screened in Nov 2011
Film4 FrightFest, the UK's best horror and fantasy film festival, is bringing its critically acclaimed midnight madness to Watershed for the first time ever. Featuring four UK premieres and one world premiere over one intense all nighter (21:00 - 07:00), this is horror as the gods of cinema intended: as a multiple bill, in a dark room surrounded by other enthusiastic film fans.
With music c/o Hellfire DJs, projections, drinks, plenty of coffee, short films courtesy of Encounters Short Film Festival and even a bloody breakfast all here to keep you going, this is bound to be a night to remember. The question is: can you handle all five?
Fee: £30.00 full / £25.00 concessions.
Book your 10 hour frightfest extravaganza either online or call Box Office on 0117 927 5100.
Please remember that the last chance to collect your tickets from Box Office will be at 23:30 on the night.
Special Breakfast Offer
We'll be serving a bloody cooked breakfast (veggie and meat options) from 07:00 onwards - book your breakfast in advance for £6.95 and receive a complimentary Bloody Mary (or coffee/tea). To book your special offer breakfast simply call Box Office on 0117 927 5100.
(Breakfast and drinks will also be available to buy on the day.)
Here's the running order - dip in and out depending on how brave you feel:
21:00 Bad Meat
Dir: Lulu Jarmen '11 Canada 1hr 32mins
What better way to kick off the evening than with the weirdest, grossest cult film for quite some time. When spoiled meat transforms the sadistic staff at a Boot Camp for troubled teens into something far, far worse all hell breaks loose - and the bratty youngsters must learn the lessons of maturity and responsibility the hard way.
22:55 Encounters International Festival Shorts
Dir: Various Various 15mins
Catch 4 dark and disturbing shorts, courtesy of the Encounters International Film Festival coming to Watershed Wed 16 - Sun 20 Nov.
23:15 Faces in the Crowd
Dir: Julien Magant '11 1hr 35mins
When Anna (Milla Jovovich) survives the latest attack by a terrifying serial killer, she wakes up unable to remember faces - even those of her loved ones. Alone, petrified, and the only witness, she must find a way to recognise the killer before he hunts her down. Can she find the monster in a sea of unfamiliar faces and save herself before it's too late?
01:30 Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence)
Oh yes, the rumours are true... we are screening Tom Six's much-talked about sequel. A film that, surely, needs no introduction...
03:30 The Watermen
Dir: Matt L. Lockhart '11 USA 1hr 38mins
A group of rich young friends led by the charismatic Trailor (Jason Mewes) set out on a deep sea fishing trip, only for their luxury boat to burst into flames, leaving them marooned. When they are drugged and captured by evil fishermen, they must fight to escape from their marshy prison and outwit the inbred seafarers who want them dead.
05:35 Cold Sweat
Dir: Adrian Garcia Bogliano '10 Argentina 1hr 30mins Subtitled
This fast-paced, drum and bass-backed Argentinean thriller sees Roman plunged into a bizarre nightmare when he discovers that his missing ex-girlfriend Jacquie is being tortured by a pair of failed old revolutionaries who delight in experimenting with acid, chemicals, and buckets of nitro. With tonnes of ancient dynamite in the basement, Roman and Jacquie must tread carefully or else their escape plans will go up in smoke.
Tales of the Night 3D
Opens on Friday
Celebrated animator Michel Ocelot (director of the Kirikou adventures) returns with his first foray into 3D, combining it beautifully with classic silhouette animation.
