Grindhouse Dublin, in conjunction with Light House Cinema, are proud to present John Carpenter's cult classic, Escape From New York, starring Kurt Russell in his most iconic role as Snake Plissken!

Surprisingly, this film hasn’t had a theatrical screening in Ireland in close to 30 years!

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

The film will commence at 10:30pm but there will be drinks and merriment from 9 in the Light House Cinema Bar.

Kinda disappointed with their choice of first movie tbh.To me at least,EFNY isn't really a Grindhouse movie.

Meh,hopefully they will show some of the lesser known,grittier GH movies going forward.

Hi Necronos, Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry you're disappointed with the choice. Maybe one of the future films we select will be more to your liking?

I take on board that for yourself, EFNY isn't really a Grindhouse movie. You might be interested in this this website, which we used as a reference point.

Jaysus don't get me wrong,I really like EFNY and as a massive horror/sleaze/Grindhouse fan it's fantastic to see someone trying something different.

I guess disappointed was the wrong term but when I think of Grindhouse I think of movies like Last House on the Left,Thriller : A Cruel Picture or Fight For Your Life,movies that are morally questionable to most,low production values and being nasty for the sake of nasty.

EFNY is pretty polished and is a movie you wouldn't mind sitting and watching with yer Mam,you know what I mean?

Irregardless,Im going to try and make the screening anyway as I'd love to see this taking off.

No worries I watched both Thriller: A Cruel Picture a.k.a. They Call Her One Eye again only a few weeks ago. I still think it's a terribly ignored film and the revenge segment is very Sam Peckinpah and stylish in its brutality.

Fight For Your Life is also a really interesting film and a provocative one at that. It'd be an interesting one for Grindhouse Dublin.

There are plenty of hidden gems that we would like to build to, the key word here being build.

So in Germany, EFNY was called "Die Klapperschlange". From now on I will call it nothing else.

I'll look forward to this.

Speaking of Grindhouse, tonight on The Horror Channel has Dear God No! (2011) an artful homage to classic grindhouse values.
