About this event
Interference Films XXXtreme: EDEN LAKE (2008) & MARTYRS (2008) Going straight for the jugular for CULTPLEX's STAB Horror Season, Interference Films invites you to test yourself with two of the most brutal films ever committed to celluloid. Kicking off proceedings with the British horror classic EDEN LAKE and following it up with the creme-de-la-creme of french extremity MARTYRS in blood soaked 4K! This is a double bill certainly not for the faint of heart! EDEN LAKE Dir: James Watkins Run Time: 91 mins Eden Lake follows a couple who head off on a romantic excursion to a remote spot for what promises to be a relaxing weekend...however things do not go to plan AT ALl. Encountering a group of rowdy youths, things escalate very quickly into a living hell for all involved. Bringing the horror to the foreground with a stellar cast of actors including Kelly Reilly, Jack O'Connell, Michael Fassbender & Thomas Turgoose to name a few... This film sticks with you long after the credits roll...if you have never seen this before, I can assure you that the big screen experience will pack one hell of a punch! Trailer: https://youtu.be/rJkO9HBXuhc? is=aELQyfrckGgR6woA MARTYRS (4K) Dir: Pascal Laugier Run Time: 99 mins Speak to anyone about the genre of French extremity and Martyrs is usually the first to be name-dropped and for good reason! An absolute masterclass in uncompromising, brutal and disturbing cinema that has to be seen to be believed. Don't expect yet another 'torture porn' style of film that was popular during the 2000's...Martyrs breaks the mold by being a surprisingly deep and philosophical film despite the almost constant barrage of ultra-violence that you are exposed to. Martyr's follows Lucie, a woman who suffered horribly as a young child at the hands of some mysterious organisation. Years later, Lucie embarks on a mission of bloody revenge and drags her childhood friend Anna along for the ride. Make sure you catch this rare screening in glorious 4K!
