Shock and Gore

Shock and Gore is a film festival run by the Electric Cinema — although films are shown at multiple venues throughout the city. The title’s a bit of a give away — this is a festival concerned with the macabre and grisly — highlights from last year included Hobo With A Shotgun, starring Rutger Hauer and a Bad Film Club night which featured the truly terrifying (because its soooooo bad) House Of The Dead. This year the festival has got bigger — there’s a wine tasting evening, a quiz, video nasty nights and well, all sorts really — check their website for details.
