THE DEVIL'S BUSINESS
Directed by Sean Hogan (UK) 2011 - 5.45pm
Two hitmen, Pinner (Billy Clarke) and Cully (Jack Gordon), arrive at the home of the man they've been despatched to kill and quickly discover signs of devil worship that reveal that they are in over their heads. Brilliantly performed this is a fantastic example of what can be done with a low budget and a lot of imagination.
“Incredibly strong... punches well above its weight.” Empire
+ Q&A with producer Jennifer Handorf and director Sean Hogan.
THE WICKER TREE
Directed by Robin Hardy (UK) 2010 - 7.45pm
Finally a spiritual follow-up from the creative genius behind the original film. Religions clash in this witty satire pitching Christian evangelists against a much older religion. More a satirical companion piece than a full blown sequel from the filmmaker who changed the face of British horror for good.
“A ferocious piece of camp... leavened with a tongue in cheek sense of humour... Amen.” Twitch
+ Special Guest Robin Hardy.
