New horror night launches with a top-notch double bill

By Robin Askew  Monday Jul 15, 2024

If you’ve been yearning for an analysis of the LGBT+ subtext in modern horror films, help is at hand thanks to new local organisation Reel Life Monsters, which also aims to “provide a safe place for LGBT+ horror fans”.

Their first screening is a double bill with a short talk by Lucian Stephenson that will focus on both features, and their “cultural relevance to the LGBT+ community.”

The selected films are Ben Wheatley’s classy 2013 psychedelic horror A Field in England and a 25th anniversary screening of Antonia Bird’s Ravenous – a provocative blend of pitch black comedy and censor-baiting gore, with Robert Carlyle sinking his teeth into his role as a grizzled and grisly flesh-eater.
