About this event
Longlegs: After making the rounds in American cinemas to loud and polarising acclaim, Longlegs comes to CPX to disturb the living daylights out of you. FBI Agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) is assigned to an unsolved serial killer case that takes an unexpected turn, revealing evidence of the occult. Harker discovers a personal connection to the killer and must stop him before he strikes again. Starring Nicolas Cage as the titular serial killer, Osgood Perkins's (Gretel & Hansel, I Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House) new film is set to be one of the most memorable horrors in recent memory. Content Warnings: Bloody violence, gore, torture The Silence of the Lambs In this chilling adaptation of the best-selling novel by Thomas Harris, director Jonathan Demme crafted a taut psychological thriller about an American obsession: serial murder. With a psychopath named Buffalo Bill murdering women and believing it takes one to know one, the FBI sends Agent Clarice Starling to enlist the help of the infamous Dr. Hannibal “the Cannibal” Lecter to gain insight into the mind of another killer. As Clarice Starling, Jodie Foster subverts classic gender dynamics and gives one of the most memorable performances of her career. As her foil, Anthony Hopkins is the archetypal antihero—cultured, quick-witted, and savagely murderous—delivering a harrowing portrait of humanity gone terribly wrong. A gripping police procedural and a disquieting immersion into a twisted psyche, The Silence of the Lambs swept the Academy Awards (Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actress, Actor) and remains a cultural touchstone. Content Warnings: contains severe violence, gore, disturbing psychological thriller elements, and explicit sexual harassment.
