Director: Tomas Alfredson
Starring: Kåre Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson
Sweden, 2008, 1 hour 54 minutes

Sat 27 February 10.00am - 4.30pm Ledbury Market Theatre

Set in the snow-covered landscapes of Sweden this vampire horror is darker, grittier and infinitely better than Twilight. It tells the tale of lonely and bullied Oskar who forges a friendship with his peculiar new neighbour Eli. Part love story, part revenge fantasy this film is both touching and macabre. Afterwards aspiring filmmakers can get behind the camera and create their own scary shorts.

"If you're looking for a horror movie that plays fair, offers genuine scares with an equally deep emotional clout, this really is the right one" Phelim O'Neill, Guardian

Bright, silly and a lot of fun with its pizza tornadoes and giant ice cream drifts, this builds to an eyeball-frazzling culinary climax of truly epic proportions. After the screening aspiring animators can make their own short films using Macbooks, digital animation software and plasticine.

"one of the funniest films of the year - that'll send you out of the cinema grinning from ear to ear." ViewLondon
