What's on (archive)

Film4 FrightFest Allnighter (18)

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.

Here's the running order - dip in and out depending on how brave you feel:

21:00 Bad Meat

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

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.
