In death there are no accidents, no coincidences, no mishaps, and no escapes….
….but in life there is Terribly Good Cinema! Join us this Halloween as we share in the thrills and chills of the film that launched a wicked franchise - Final Destination (2000).
You’ll board this adventure at a new venue for us - the iconic local music and arts venue, Volta - tucked into the hill in Field Street. There’ll be specialty drinks, snacks and prizes for the lucky (or unlucky) few.
UPDATE: We’ve secured a terribly weird short for this screening - Peter the Penguin (2020), directed by Andrew Rutter. Check out his website here https://www.andrewrutter.tv/

What the critics say…
“Your own final destination just might be the box office, to demand your money back.” | Rita Kempley, Washington Post
“Starts by cheating death and ends by cheating us.” | Jay Carr, The Boston Globe
“Quickly deteriorates into a silly, badly acted slasher movie - minus the slasher.” | Lou Lumenick, New York Post
“Final destination? Video store bins.” | Robert Cashill, Newsweek
“Remember the risk of cheating the plan, of disrespecting the design... could initiate a fury that would terrorize even the Grim Reaper. And you don't even want to fuck with that MacDaddy.”
| Bludworth, Final Destination
