Screen Unseen

Mr E · 01-02-2019 11:10am

Saw the trailer for that - looks very creepy.

FYI there is an Alita: Battle Angel early screening for Unlimited card holders on Monday night (out for everyone else on Wednesday).

tretorn · 03-02-2019 7:43pm

What was the screen unseen on the 28th of January.

Mr E · 03-02-2019 8:20pm

If Beale Street Could Talk

Autecher · 11-02-2019 11:54am

This Monday's Scream Unseen is now an Irish exclusive. It will be a regular Screen Unseen in Britain. I think the reason for this is the Irish horror movie due out next month has been leaked online so they brought the release date forward for it. That movie is

The Hole in the Ground

Mr E · 19-02-2019 2:02pm

Did anyone go to The Hole in the Ground?

I saw it. Wasn't great if I'm honest.
Mother lives in rural Ireland, Wicklow specifically, and lives beside this giant sinkhole. She starts to think her child isn't the same child and things deterioate from there. What could have been interesting just became muddled as the existence of the sinkhole is never really explained. A few references, whether deliberate or otherwise, which put you in mind of far better films

for instance Babadook and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, even The Shining,

make you aware of the film's shortcomings.

Autecher · 19-02-2019 3:38pm

I couldn't make it but I wasn't bothered about it as the reviews point out it's just another jump scare accompanied by loud violin screech horror movie, I've seen too many of them already.

The Screen Unseen in the UK was Wild Rose which seems to have gone down a treat judging by twitter & reddit reactions.

Autecher · 25-04-2019 11:21am

Screen Unseen is back on May 6th. No clues yet not that it would matter.

Mr E · 25-04-2019 8:08pm

Clue 1: Rubbing shoulders with Bette

Clue 1: Rubbing shoulders with Bette

I'll spoiler this for anyone who likes the surprise element but it a few people have pointed out these things

Beanie Feldstein (star of Booksmart) was in the 2017 Broadway revival of 'Hello Dolly' alongside Bette Midler. And both Cineworld Unlimited and SKY VIP are having screenings of Booksmart on May 6th & 7th and they often show the same movies as Odeon do at Screen Unseen when they are on the same day.

If it is that I'd be happy with it.

Autecher · 30-04-2019 11:46am

Clue 2: Sibling 1995

Again, smarter people than me have come up with this

Beanie Feldstein is Jonah Hill's sister and he directed the movie Mid90s

Autecher · 06-05-2019 9:53am

Clue 3: Not Oscar
Clue 4: Retired Anchor

I have had it confirmed by a guy I know who works in an odeon that tonight's movie is

Booksmart, which has been getting really good reviews.

Outlaw Pete · 07-05-2019 4:26am

Same as tonight's Unlimted Screening in Cineworld so.

Mr E · 21-08-2019 11:35pm

New Scream Unseen next Monday.

Clue #1: Leaders Gone Radio Silent

Looking at horrors in September, it could be IT: Chapter 2 (due 6th) or Ready or Not (due 27th)?

Ready or Not is from the Radio Silence filmmakers.

Mr E · 22-08-2019 5:45am

Yeah I had a look at the usual speculation websites last night and they are all convinced that it's Ready or Not too.

Mr E · 22-08-2019 7:31pm

Clue 2 (of 2):

LINCOLN BECOMING CHRISTIAN

It's next Monday (not the 2nd like I originally though).

spurious · 22-08-2019 10:33pm

Next Monday is the Screen Unseen while the following week is the Scream Unseen.

I think Screen Unseen might be the Shia La Boeuf film 'The Peanut Butter Falcon'.

**edit D'Oh! It's an Irish film, so not that.

Mr E · 25-08-2019 10:34am

Clue 2 for Scream Unseen is "Freddy All Grown Up".

Adam Brody played adult Freddy in Shazam and he is in Ready or Not.

spurious · 27-08-2019 12:13am

Screen Unseen tonight was 'Extra Ordinary' an Irish comedy with Maeve Higgins. I knew nothing at all about it, but very much enjoyed it. Quite a bizarre story, but lots of out loud laughs from the audience.
Rapid fire gags, I'm sure we missed most of them. Nice cameo from "Sister Michael" from "Derry Girls".
**edit just realised Mary McEvoy from Glenroe was in it too.

B.A._Baracus · 27-08-2019 8:43am

Only came across Screen Unseen yesterday :pac: don't know how I missed it as I usually go to Odeon a lot. But what's the average movies?
From what i've been reading there isn't a lot of mainstream movies, right?
Like, I dunno, would Once Upon A Time In Hollywood been one or too big of a movie type thing?

I am clueless as you can see :pac:

spurious · 27-08-2019 11:23am

Tarantino might be a bit too 'we know it will draw them in anyway'.

Films from the last year or so have included:
Moonlight
The Shape of Water
Nightcrawler
Black Mass
Room
The Revenant
War on Everyone
Arrival
The Big Sick
The Death of Stalin
Three Billboards outside Ebbing

So, not 'Die Hard' or the like, but slightly quirky.
I have always found them interesting and sure for half price, it won't kill me to sit through a couple of hours.

thanks for the information. I always seem to miss the Irish exclusive screen unseen.

Aisling(",) · 04-09-2019 9:55am

I really enjoyed the Scream Unseen on Monday. Ready of Not was a great mix of thriller,excitement and humour.

I particularly enjoyed Adam Brody's sarcastic comments throughout.
Henry Czerny and the aunt were great fun too.

heffo500 · 04-09-2019 11:24am

Next Screen Unseen is on the 30th of September, tickets can be booked now.

heffo500 · 30-10-2019 1:07pm

Mr E · 31-10-2019 12:22am

CLUE 1: Re-directing the money
CLUE 2: Lean Machine

Le Mans?

spurious · 16-12-2019 2:55pm

Screen Unseen tonight listed as subtitled...could it be 'Parasite'?

1. (Faraway) first in a sunny climate
2. Symbiotic relationships
3. Theories from East & West
4. Admiring the silhouette.

Even the hint of Parasite is enough to get me to book a ticket :pac:

spurious · 16-12-2019 9:05pm

Manager in cinema tells me it is Parasite.

johnny_ultimate · 17-12-2019 12:32am

So pleased to finally see it, I’ve been infuriated for months with the lack of an Irish screening so delighted to have seen it before the year’s out (still think the distributor is mad for holding it back til February, mind, given the buzz from the US in the past few months). Hopefully not the last time Odeon dip into subtitled fare

Telecaster58 · 26-12-2019 4:18pm

Screen Unseen for January 6th

spurious · 03-01-2020 3:05pm

Clues so far

1. "The cold heart of Dixie"
2. "He knows kung fu"
3. "An all too real tryptic with a familiar face"

The clues never help me, but I have seen mentioned online 'Richard Jewell', 'Just Mercy' and 'Queen and Slim' as possibles. I'd be happy with any of them.

heffo500 · 04-01-2020 4:48pm

Fourth clue: When Erik met Carol.

Has to be Just Mercy

Mr E · 28-02-2020 12:35pm

The next one is on March 9th.

Clue 1: Drawing on the Classics
Clue 2: Hip Hop in an Aquarium

Clue 3: Guys, Kin, Son.

heffo500 · 09-03-2020 4:57pm

Any ideas what tonight's movie will be?

Mr E · 09-03-2020 5:14pm

I've seen Dream Horse mentioned. Not sure how it ties into the clues though.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9883996/

Also possibly Vivarium.

Telecaster58 · 09-03-2020 7:11pm

All the smart money is on Calm With Horses

Telecaster58 · 29-06-2021 8:04pm

Tonight's Screen Unseen looks like Another Round. Looking forward to that.

Niska · 22-09-2023 12:41pm

It's still going. Next is next Weds (27th) -

https://www.odeoncinemas.ie/films/screen-unseen/HO00001589/

No clues what it is (they don't give the rating nor duration). However on the same day

Omniplex have a Secret Screening

https://www.omniplex.ie/whatson/movie/showtimes/secret-screening

They do give the rating and duration (12A and 2hrs 13min) which matches The Creator
