Cultish Events: Double Jeopardy - 'The Hills Have Eyes' & 'Mandy'

11th September

We’re excited to be bringing you a brand-new concept here at TT Cinema, as we team up with Cultish Events, curators and hosts of alternative cultural events in and around the capital. 

A new series of themed cinematic double-bills – ‘DOUBLE JEOPARDY’ – will explore some of the most iconic horror, thriller and sci-fi films of all time.. two at a time. The second in the series will focus on two celebrated films about twisted cults.

‘The Hills Have Eyes’ (1977) is Wes Craven’s notorious horror about a suburban family who become stranded in the Nevada desert and targeted by a family of cannibal savages. Hugely influential on the horror genre, many have seen it as an allegory for the American class divide and the Vietnam War. 

‘Mandy’ (2018) is a psychedelic horror film from Panos Cosmatos, with the legendary Nicolas Cage on top form as a rural logger whose girlfriend Mandy (played by Andrea Riseborough) is kidnapped by a demonic and Manson-esque biker gang. Cage is forced to try and confront the gang in an increasingly hallucinogenic spiral of action sequences.

The screenings will begin with an introduction and include a short break in between to allow guests to explore our Cellar Bar’s wide-ranging drinks selection.

Tickets are £10, and include entry to both screenings and a complimentary welcome cocktail courtesy of our expert bar team.

FORMAT

Arrival – Attendees will arrive through the doors of our liquor store at 6pm to allow time for them to settle in and purchase any beer, wine, or other refreshments they like. Alternatively, guests can make their way down into our Cellar Bar to receive their complimentary cocktail for the night.
