Cult film night BAR TRASH continues our 13th sensational season — SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES! — with a wayward sequel in a once-revered franchise, Hammer Horror’s DRACULA A.D. 1972 (1972) in a rare presentation with its original HorroRitual gimmick.

How do you bring an ageing horror franchise starring two revered actors in their most iconic roles (toe-curlingly) up to date? You set it in the modern era and give the film one of the worst (best?) taglines in horror film history: “The Count is back, with an eye for London’s hot pants… and a taste for everything!”.

Dracula (Christopher Lee) is brought back to life in modern London and preys on a group of young partygoers that includes Jessica (Stephanie Beacham), the descendant of his nemesis, Lawrence Van Helsing (Peter Cushing). This 1970s swingers’ edition of Hammer’s once-seductive DRACULA saga combines gothic horror with a more contemporary fascination for the occult and would be the penultimate pairing of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as the vampire and his foe. Throw in Christopher Neame going completely OTT as the vampire's servant, and the result is a potent BAR TRASH cocktail of pure cinematic mayhem.

To help sell the film in the USA, Warner Bros. promoted an exclusive fan club — the COUNT DRACULA SOCIETY — in a short film before the main feature. The ‘HorroRitual’ (aka ‘The Oath’) required audiences to pledge their allegiance to promoting the film “so help me Christopher Lee” and will be revived from beyond the grave by our effervescent BAR TRASH host tonight!

Polite notice: We are showing DRACULA A.D. 1972 with subtitles from the best available digital source.

A space princess is thrust out of her sheltered life and into a galactic quest to save her bounty hunter ex-girlfriend from evil incel aliens.

In an underwater city, a young girl takes care of a large egg she holds carefully in her arms. A boy with a gun arrives in search of a bird he saw in his dream.

Forty years after the film’s original release, Anime Limited is proud to present an all-new 4K restoration of the film, supervised by director Mamoru Oshii, in cinemas nationwide for the very first time. The film is a creative collaboration between acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell), who wrote and directed the feature, and revered artist Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D).

In Japanese with English Subtitles.

Cult film night BAR TRASH continues our 13th sensational season — SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES! — with a very special MYSTERY GIMMICK SHOW!!! to celebrate our 4th birthday.

Mystery films — where we only reveal the title when we press play* — have become a hugely popular feature of the BAR TRASH programme since Season 4 when Sony stopped us showing THE BLOB (1988) at incredibly short notice (after we’d already sold out!). We turned the event into a mystery film night and Token Homo attempted to book a replacement at pace, accidentally giving once-lost Korean kaiju film SPACE MONSTER WANGMAGWI (1967) its long-overdue UK premiere. But what celluloid atrocity will we unveil this time?

To celebrate our 4th sensational birthday, we are resurrecting one of the 216 rarely-shown titles we have screened before but will be dressing it up for this very special occasion by reviving it’s original (and utterly insane!) release gimmick. The only other thing we can say is that you should expect birthday cake and other special treats as we will take this opportunity to applaud the brilliant audience that has held this giddy old bar show aloft for so long. We really can’t thank you enough. THx

*No refunds if you’ve already seen it or don’t fancy it.

Polite notice: We are showing our MYSTERY GIMMICK SHOW!!! film with subtitles from the best available digital source. This unique theatrical presentation has been cleared by all the relevant authorities and will be conducted according to all relevant industry welfare standards. Suitably trained personnel will be in attendance throughout.

Voidance follows Alana Toro in her final assessment to become an ATIC agent. Inside a simulated space station bar, she must prevent a terrorist attack before it happens. Each failed attempt allows her to restart the scenario, but with limited chances to get it right.

As Alana navigates a cast of guarded and unpredictable patrons, gaining trust proves as difficult as identifying the threat itself. With each attempt, new details emerge and assumptions shift, forcing her to rethink who she can rely on.

As the pressure builds, Alana is pushed towards an unorthodox solution, one that may challenge everything ATIC expects of her.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A.

Cult film night BAR TRASH continues our 13th sensational season — SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES! — with the latest in our successful Bollyhorror film nights, MAHAKAAL (1993).

One way to promote your film is to base it on another, already successful one, or to copy that film entirely... The global cinematic phenomenon of low-budget ripoffs and remakes is lovingly known as ‘remakesploitation’, and is often associated with the genre film industries of Turkey, Mexico, and India, which is where we return for the Ramsay brothers' eerily familiar MAHAKAAL (1993).

See if you can guess the original American title from this film’s plot: Anita begins to have horrible nightmares where a ghastly monster with an iron glove and blades for fingers torments her in her sleep. Once awake, she finds that injuries suffered in her dreams have manifested into the physical world… It’s not long before people around her are picked off one by one by this hideously disfigured supernatural being. Can anyone — or anything — stop the carnage?

… Got it? Of course, one of the joys of any film from the Ramsay House of Horror is that the cocktail of cinematic ingredients doesn’t end there, blending more Western sci-fi and horror classics with the signature mayhem of South Asian horror: practical makeup and gore effects, musical interludes, bawdy comedy, and a Michael Jackson impersonator.

Token Homo will be serving MAHAKAAL with FREE chai and samosas in the second of two intervals, recreating the vibe of the UK’s South Asian Film Clubs of the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s when audiences would dress up, socialise, eat samosas, and talk throughout the film (and sometimes back at the screen!).

Polite notice: We are projecting MAHAKAAL in Hindi with English subtitles from a 2K scan of the original 35mm camera negatives, completely uncut and uncensored. The original materials show signs of significant damage in places — please approach the film with love, wonder and empathy.

BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin. Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

There is a Glastonbury that exists only in memory before the BBC arrived, before phone masts and wall-to-wall coverage, before tickets sold out in minutes, before it all changed. A Glastonbury where dancing in a field was, quite sincerely, considered a radical act. That world is gone. But it was filmed. Shot in Panavision CinemaScope at the 1993 festival, the last of the great old-school Glastonburys, Glastonbury The Movie captured the real thing: not the headline acts on the Pyramid Stage, but the stone circle at sunrise, the rave tents and wandering performers, the parachute games and the Krishna food queues. The Verve at their very first festival appearance. Spiritualized spending their entire fee on a fireworks display. A cast of thousands, completely themselves. No voiceover. No talking heads. No presenter telling you how to feel. Just Glastonbury, as it was. Unfiltered, unnarrated, and unlike anything else in British music film. Hailed as “a masterpiece” by Mike Leigh and selected for eight international film festivals, Glastonbury The Movie: The 30th Anniversary Cut has been rebuilt in 4K from the original Panavision negatives, new scenes added, new Dolby 5.1 mix, every frame restored. The result is extraordinary. Back on the big screen. Thirty years on. Followed by a Q&A with Director, Robin Mahoney

The Genesis Poetry Slam has been running for over 15 years, and is London’s only three-round poetry slam. Up to 12 poets compete in a night of competitive poetry, to see who makes it to the final round and can claim the title of slam champion for the month.

Join us for another electric night of spoken word as poets battle it out for a place in our December Grand Final.

Genesis Cinema, Stepney Green
Doors 18:45 / Slam starts 19:30
Audience tickets: £1 (advance booking essential)

On the night, sink into a comfy sofa, grab a cocktail or a pie, and watch some of the finest poets bring their words to life.

AUDIENCE
Tickets are £1 and must be booked in advance. Whether you’re a poetry lover or brand new to spoken word, you’ll be warmly welcomed.

POETS

There are two ways to sign up for a slam slot:
Pre sign-up: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/112945284141
On the night

We’re always working to keep the process fair and accessible, and this is the best format we’ve found so far.

Pre sign-up:
Sign up via the Eventbrite link: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/112945284141. These slots are strictly first come, first served and fill fast. If you secure a pre sign-up slot, you do not need to buy a ticket – your name will be on the door.

On the night:
If pre sign-up slots are full, we may release a limited number of on-the-night slots, again first come, first served.

If you have a pre sign-up slot, please arrive by 7.00pm to keep it. Any unclaimed slots will be offered to poets on the reserve list. To keep things fair, if the slam has started and you haven’t checked in, you won’t be able to perform.

SLAM RULES

No props.
No costumes.
Reading from paper or phone is fine.
No hate.

And remember:
The points are not the point…
THE POINT IS THE POETRY.
