The Light House Cinema can always be relied on when October rolls around to offer up a programme of classic, cult and quality horror movies, and 2021 is no exception. This October 18 – 31st, they’ll be screening a selection of greats with a very particular theme. Join the Smithfield cinema ‘standing in aaagh of all mná this Halloween, with their Samhain na mBan series of horrors and thrillers by women directors.
Ten great movies from the 18th all the way up to Halloween night will be showing at the cinema as part of this Samhain na mBan, celebrating some of our greatest directors. From the great Ida Lupino and her tense thriller The Hitchhiker, to classics in mid-reevaluation like Jennifer’s Body, and recent acclaimed efforts including Revenge, it’s a season spanning 6o years of cinema.
Revisit Raw ahead of the release of Julia Ducournau’s eagerly, eerily anticipated follow-up Titane, or catch up with Patrick Bateman at the 35mm print screening of Mary Harron’s take on American Psycho. In Anna Biller’s technicolour mind-melt The Love Witch, you can also see one of the unheralded horror hits of the last decade. There’s something for every horror fan here, whether you like blood and guts, psychological scares, or celebrating queer icons like the Babadook. And if the great artwork by Meagan Hyland is anything to go by, the Light House is going to be decked to the nines as always this spooky season.
