    Just a heads up about the screening of "Apocalypse Now" on 29th September in the Lighthouse Cinema:

    http://www.lighthousecinema.ie/comingsoon.php?_mc=10677

    On 29th Sept. the book for discussion will be "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad. The film "Apocalypse Now" will be shown first, then the book discussion will take place in the bar of the Lighthouse afterwards.

    I've attended a few of these book club/film screenings and they are very good. Ideal for a film/literary buff like me.

    Do you have to attend the book club or can you just go to see the film ?

    You can just go to see the film. :)

    Grindhouse Dublin, in association with Light House Cinema, are proud to present The Nanny, starring iconic screen legend Bette Davis!



    Based on the novel by Evelyn Piper, this 1965 Hammer Film was a slight departure for “the studio that dripped blood” and its signature gothic style. Nonetheless, The Nanny is a suspenseful psychological thriller, featuring an unforgettably sinister performance from Bette Davis, which is sure to chill audiences to the bone!

    Grindhouse Dublin will take place exclusively at Light House Cinema, Smithfield.

    The film will commence at 10:30pm, Friday, September 27th. There will be drinks and merriment from 9pm in the Light House Cinema Bar.

    Tickets Available here!

    It really was awesome! The disco sequences were superb on the big screen. You could really get an appreciation as to why it was such a phenomenon in 1977. It was a very good sized crowd too. Easily one of the most enjoyable classic screenings I've attended. :D

    The Wicker Man Final Cut is screening in most IMC cinemas and others from Friday.

    Original Dawn of the Dead on in Movies @ Dundrum this Tuesday.

    Went to The Wicker Man - Final Cut in the cinema this evening and loved it every but as much as I did when I first watched the film way back when I was 12 or 13. It remains of the greatest films ever made and it's influence can be felt on the work of many of the great directors.It's a perfectly pitched horror film that's all about the ideas and crafting a uniquely uneasy tone. It's at heart a study of contrasts and examines how conflicting ideologies clash. Really could talk all night about just what an amazing piece of cinema is but you owe it to yourself to watch it in the cinema during it's short theatrical re-release.

    Sadly few people seem to be making the most of the opportunity to view such a classic on the big scene in such a nicely restored version as there was only 4 other people at the screening I attended and talking to the ticket seller before going in it seems that the film has been playing to nearly empty theaters. Real shame as if we don't support re-releases such as this then we'll most likely continue to get terrible "re-releases" which are nothing more than a DVD projected. I was shocked that the Wicker Man actually played outside of Dublin and had life not gotten in the way I'd have gone see it last Friday and at least once or twice more during the week. Tried to convince a few friends to go, people who studied film and want to work in the industry but none of them had any interest and the one that did felt that it was a waste of money as he found a 700mg rip online. If he'd been standing two foot closer I would have slapped him.

    It's not a film for everyone and I can understand why so many people would dislike the film but it's one that I can rewatch time and again and never tire of.

    Argh! Obviously, I don't know these people, but anyone who studied film, supposedly want to work in the industry and DON'T have an interest in seeing a film like The Wicker Man are just blinkered. I'm not suggesting that it is a film that everyone would want to see, but it is justifiably regarded as a classic and people who allegedly have an above-average interest in film should not pass up a chance to see it on the big screen. Not everyone is a fan of horror films (though that term is only loosely applicable to The Wicker Man), but certain films from all genres are arguably mandatory viewing for film scholars, and that is one of them.

    As for the online rip argument, I truly despair. That'd be like me not bothering going to see it in the cinema on the basis that I'll be buying the Blu-Ray this weekend.
    I saw it in the Lighthouse in Dublin last week and it was very well attended.

    I think a lot of people who study film do it as they assume it's nothing more than watching films. It was ridiculous how few of people there had heard of, let alone seen any of the work of Ingmar Bergman, Éric Rohmer, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Herzog, John Cassavetes, Billy Wilder, Akira Kurosawa, David Lynch, Errol Morris, Wong Kar-wai, The God Damned Coen Brothers, Abbas Kiarostami, Hayao Miyazaki, Terence Davies, etc, etc.

    The Wicker Man is the quintessential horror film and one that manages to create such a unique sense of unease. There's an inherent sense of something not being quite right all the way through and it manages to be far more horrifying than any of your Hostels or Saws without once ever resorting to cheap gore or bloodshed.

    Have to say its not a film I would have any interest in seeing, and I like old movies.

    Grindhouse Dublin, in association with Light House Cinema, are proud to present the Grind House of Horrors Double Bill, featuring Tobe Hooper’s original 1974 classic ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ and the rarely screened cult favourite ‘Tourist Trap’!

    Revving into the Light House Cinema on a deranged rampage of chain saw wielding mayhem, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre still remains one of the most controversial and influential shockers of all time. This is a rare opportunity to see the frenzied film on the big screen, a film which noted critic Rex Reed called “the most horrifying motion picture I have ever seen!”



    Praised by Stephen King in his book ‘Danse Macabre’, Tourist Trap is an eerie gem, which features an off-kilter atmosphere and a dose of macabre humour, making it the perfect companion piece to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre!



    The Grind House of Horrors Double Bill commences at 10:15pm, Friday, November 1st. There will be drinks and merriment from 9pm in the Light House Cinema

    Don't miss out on this terrifying double bill for only €10!

    Is Tourist Trap going to be screened from a print or just a regular old DVD? I know that there is a remastered Blu-Ray being released in the US in December and it's nice to see the film getting a big screen outing but it would be a shame if the presentation was lacking.

    Grindhouse Dublin, in association with Light House Cinema, are proud to present ‘SILENT NIGHT, BLOODY NIGHT’, a cult 1972 favourite, which is sure to chill you to the bone!

    Grab your tickets here!




    After years in obscurity, Silent Night, Bloody Night returns to an Irish cinema screen for one blood-soaked night only, featuring Mary Woronov, who you may remember from our screening of Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, as well as cult icon John Carradine.

    Silent Night, Blood Night is notable not only as a horror film that fell foul of Irish censorship and was banned on home video during the 1980’s, but as one of the earliest horror films to employ a maniac’s POV shot; something that would later be popularised by similarly eerie classics, such as Black Christmas and John Carpenter’s
    horror landmark Halloween!

    Silent Night, Bloody Night will be shown exclusively at Light House Cinema, Smithfield on Friday 27th December at 10:45pm!

    Tickets €9.00 - Students €7.50

    I hadn't seen this and had a look on YouTube to find the trailer. Noticed the entire film was on YouTube (albeit fairly ropey quality) but watched it and thought it was really good. Anyone know any others from the genre that stand out as being worth watching?
