THE HIDEOUT: HORROR💀SCI-FI🪐CLUB LONDON

🔪HOME INVASIONS ARE COMPLICATED NOW!
Sequels and prequels seem to get more tangled and confusing as the years go by and now even when it comes to home invasions. You would think that Chapter One means the beginning right? Well not really but I will simplify this as best as possible.

This new baby serves as a prequel to the first film yet it will be the first instalment of a new Trilogy of standalone films. Chapter 1 will follow a similar premise to the original film and will take place in the same continuity as the first two instalments. The original film follows a couple who stay at a vacation home which is soon disrupted by three masked intruders. I have only ever seen the original film and I remember it being quite good. It definitely felt old school with a little bit of that 1978 Halloween Vibe.

There's not much to report apart from this, I'm just hoping it's going to be a good movie but so far so good. So if you’re up for witnessing offenders unlawfully entering your personal space then come and join me for this movie & some drinks. Here is the Plan:

🏍️ HOW MAD WOULD YOU BE?
Being strong-willed and moral takes guts when you turn against your leaders. It takes courage and noble qualities to sacrifice your well-being and be raked with pain for the sake of others. In that regard how can I blame anyone for being Mad? I would be mad too especially if I were displaced from my home.

Imperator Furiosa is back in both a Spin-Off and a Prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road and it will take place around 15 to 20 years before the events of Fury Road. George Miller who created the entire Mad Max Series returns to direct this entry. Fury Road and Furiosa have taken roughly 24 years to write and put together, so I’m looking forward to this new entry.

Join me for drinks and a mad action sci-fi what’s the apocalyptic movie. We will meet for drinks as usual before the film. Here is the plan:

1. First: We will meet for drinks🍻at the Cineworld Empire Bar to grab a drink, which will be on the Ground floor. You will need to collect your ticket before you can access the bar.. Look out for The Hideout Sign.
2. Then: 🍿🍿We're off to IMAX Screen 8 to see how tough is Furiosa. I will be sitting on seat G20 but you are welcome to sit where you feel more comfortable.
3. After: ☑️ We reconvene briefly at the main bar where we rate and score the film. The results will be posted on our MainGroup and our WhatsApp Group (Link available at request).

🐦‍⬛THE LEGACY OF THE CROW LIVES ON
This is especially true if art imitates death. Maybe you’ve seen it or only heard it was Brandon Lee’s final movie after a tragic accident on set. Since then his death has had a melancholic effect that haunts viewers in every frame that hangs over The Crow.

After Lee's death, many changes were made to the final print transforming this film into something more compelling and reinforcing the tragedy of the novel. The story follows Eric Draven in his quest for revenge on those who murdered his true love. A story also conceived by comic artist James O’Barr as a direct response to his own rage and torment over death.

🕷️WHEN KIDS HAVE IT THEIR WAY
One cold, stormy night a mysterious egg falls from the sky and smashes through the window revealing an insatiable blood thirsty creature. What do you do? Do you run or you nurture it?

This is an Australian film written and directed by Kiah Roache-Turner who takes a new approach (so i read) about the debilitating fear of spiders. Following its April premiere in the States, this movie will go on to tour around the world and make its way here in the UK in May for a few dates only.

So if you’re in the mood to watch a creature grow impossibly large with a thirst for blood, then meet me for a what is hopefully a grisly ending and drink. I'll update you with the Meetup details, exact times and location closer to the date.
