2018’s big Oscar winner and Guillermo del Toro‘s finest film since the great Pan’s Labyrinth stars Brit Sally Hawkins as a mute cleaner who bonds with a Creature from the Black Lagoon-style amphibian humanoid during the 1960s Cold War.
Known as “the asset”, the beast was seized from a South American river by the US military in the hope that its secrets can give them an advantage over the dastardly Russkies. A distinctively weird and wonderful, superbly crafted fairytale, with a magnificently expressive, wordless performance by Hawkins, it’s also the most romantic human woman/aquatic critter love story you’ll ever see. Go here for our full review. Doors open at 7pm for this Cult Screens event, with the film on screen at 8:15pm. Various ticket options are available. Go here for further information and to book.
