Description

This summer, we're warning you, Don't Go into the...Cave!

 

Join us as we spend the season venturing into the cinematic realm of some of our favourite cryptids, creatures, and spooky urban legends.

 

It’s 1911, and terror ensnares a British countryside when archaeology student Angus Flint (Peter Capaldi) uncovers what looks to be the skull of a giant snake.

 

Soon, Flint and Lord James D'Ampton (Hugh Grant) find themselves tangling with a bizarre cult that worships a monstrous serpent that was believed to have been slain by one of D'Ampton's ancestors.

 

As people begin disappearing and acting strangely, it appears that the cult, led by the venomous Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe), are attempting to resurrect their evil god—and only our heroes may be able to stop them!

 

Loosely based on Bram Stoker’s novel of the same name, Ken Russell’s frenetic fright-fest is a riot of dark humour, pagan eroticism, and flamboyantly camp horror that ranks alongside the director’s finest.
