REVENGE: A LOVE STORY
Directed by Ching-Po Wong (HK) 2010 - 6.30pm
From the squirm inducing opening twenty minutes to it's stylised climax this is a ferociously slick, sick serial killer flick, daring to ask what motivates a madman who targets the pregnant wives of cops. Unflinchingly brutal, from the team behind DREAM HOME. http://terracottadistribution.com/

THEATRE OF BLOOD
Douglas Hickox (UK) 1973 - 11pm
