Hmm this was OK! I Didn't really feel anything for the cast, there was not a lot scary about the neo Nazi's.... The two main characters were putting me to sleep with the drone of their voices, like they were spaced out, man!! Jumped out my seat at one scene! Or maybe it just woke me up lol 5/10

I know plenty who have jobs but do cinema work to top up wages. They really do work hard and long hours too.

Not all horror is about jump scares. The horror was all about the situation and some of the violence.
I much preferred this to generic horror like Paranormal Activity which bores me rigid.

perhaps that's where the PH luvvies I spotted need to head, or their brains will melt before they turn 25 through inactivity.

though my observation remains about the inefficiency of their employers, not the actual staff themselves. People can do what they want, but I don't want my slackers club tickets provider run into closure.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

    I don't like the Paranormal films, their boring & all the same! Give me good old fashioned terrifying horrors from the 80's !

    Saw this yesterday in Camden at the elevenfiftyfive screening. was a club space with fold-up chairs. the nice thing is there was a beavertown beer promotion on so we were offered unlimited free beer!!

    doors opened at 7 but they delayed the screening for about half an hour so everyone was quite jolly by the time it started. the vast majority of the people were trendy young things so it made for a bit of a party atmosphere (a guy near me was sozzled by the end of the film).

    the film was good but made much better with the audience participation, booing/cheering/clapping etc. i can see it becoming a cult classic. so glad i saw this with a fun crowd!

    was given a copy of blue ruin DVD in a goodie bag. having read the comments above i now know why that film was chosen.

    didn't stay for the after party but with all the free booze am sure it was great!

    this is my second elevenfiftyfive screening. both have been in clubs with after parties. not for everyone but i enjoyed myself both times even if i did feel a bit like the oldest raver in town.

    I honestly found the throat ripping scene horrific.
    I totally agree PA films are all the same and they're ridiculously boring. Same shrill music and banging noises. Usually accompanied by some shrieking from people sat behind me!

      Apparently he was sold on the script by the time he finished reading it. I either missed something or it didn't translate to the screen!
