THE BEAST MUST DIE!
Introduced by KIM NEWMAN,
with a discussion on Horror Cinema
SUNDAY 29 MAY 2011
FROM 10PM TILL 1AM AT ROXY BAR & SCREEN
Join Midnight Movies for some high drama on bank holiday weekend as Kim Newman introduces the cult 1974 horror film The Beast Must Die alongside a celebration of his tome on the genre ‘Nightmare Movies’ (new edition, on sale now!) We welcome Paul Davis, author and director, to lead the discussion.
Arrive early to choose your seat in the red velvet-clad Roxy Bar and Screen for ’70s tunes, drinks and canapés from 10pm, then get your debating head on for the film as we invite you to guess the murderer during the film’s ‘Werewolf Break’! Plus, the London Short Film Festival curates another Short in the Dark.
***Dress for dinner***
SYNOPSIS:
The Beast Must Die comes from the legendary Amicus, the studio that dripped blood and stars Calvin Lockhart, Peter Cushing and Michael Gambon. A wealthy businessman and skilled huntsman summons a handful of guests to his home for the weekend, one of whom has a taste for blood. It’s up to the others to seek out the monster before the full moon fades…
“super sweet dose of 70’s werewolf camp with a top-notch cast and music” – Eat My Brains
“The Beast Must Die is a horror classic in every sense of the word. It has it all: horn heavy bow-chica-bow-wow Seventies theme music, a badass soul brother as the lead character, some surprising gore… and one of the true masters of our genre; Peter Cushing” – Dread Central
